For PD this Joystick->Midi converter wouldn't be necessary: There already are two joystick externals, one in GGEE and one by J. Sarlo. BTW: Which one is better? I only used the one in GGEE yet. It's strange, that Reaktor seems to miss a Joystick interface, if I understand this correctly.
Directly reading the joypad's data has the advantage of higher resolution. Joystick sticks go from +32767 to -32767 here on linux, uncalibrated.
While we're at it, I recently said on pd-ot that I would like to try a Beatmania PSX controller in PD, and now I did, because my PSX->USB converter arrived. While it did indeed work in PD (with GGEEs joystick object) it wasn't quite what I expected. Because the nice looking scratch pad on my Beatmania controller in fact is just a one-axis button with two directions but no scaling value that tells, how far you have scratched.
Now I'll go and buy a dance mat ;)
