Wireless PS2 Controller for basic controlling
Wireless PS2 Controller for basic controlling Posted on: 20.07.2011 by Arletha Heddens Just a quick idea. I believe that it would be really cool to have a wireless PS2 controller (i have 4 downstairs in my PS2) and was wondering if i could somehow use that to control traktor at a basic level (so i wouldnt have to be behind the decks at a house party or similar + it would be really awesome)? I have seen people using HID to MIDI programs, and i assume that would still work with a wireless controller and adapter.If all that could work - How do these HID to MIDI programs work. Would it need to be running in the background? Thankyou (: | |

| Arletha Heddens 20.07.2011 | Couldn't i just plug my PS2 remote into something like this - couldnt i run the same program and convert the key presses to midi? or does it not work that way |
| Jetta Drenzek 20.07.2011 | It's simple to do, if you already have a way to get your PS2 controllers to your PC, depending on how they connect to your PS2, I assume it's a dongle that plugs in your PS2 pad port? That will be a long winded way. Buy a PS3 pad and bluetooth dongle, then you can use Joy2Key and bome's MIDI translator. EDIT: In fact, you might be able to skip Joy2Key, I believe Bome's can pick up joypad presses. |
