It read perfectly. This is OS X. So with that controller you get 8 trigger buttons, 1 select buttons, and d-pad with variable values. Perfect simple way as something to trigger events.<br><br>James<br><div> </div>***************************************************<br>astroboy2520<br><span>Visit my blogs: <a target="_blank" href="http://triphop-universe.blogspot.com">http://triphop-universe.blogspot.com</a></span><br><span> <a target="_blank" href="http://videokilledtheradiostar.vox.com">http://videokilledtheradiostar.vox.com</a></span><br><span>Myspace: <a target="_blank"

Try hacking some gamepads ... its cheap and easy. Try [hid].<br><br>My project, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.robotcowboy.com/">robotcowboy,</a> makes use of hacked gamepads and a custom joy -> OSC daemon in Linux. I'm getting ready<br>
to release it soon, so if you use Linux you could try that.<br><br>For instance, I cut a gamepad up and wrapped it around my old trumpet. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.robotcowboy.com/dump/P1070845.jpg">pic1</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.robotcowboy.com/dump/P1070846.jpg">pic2</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.robotcowboy.com/dump/1-5-2008_21-30-1_Bleet.mp3">a short pd session with it</a><br>
<br>There's lots of cool stuff you can for cheap. Also, old console gamepads (psx, ps2, gamecube) are readily available and all you need is a usb converter. I've found aftermarket playstation controllers the perfect hackables.<br>
