hey!
found this nice program to easily control pd with a joypad via midi, works
quite good...for those who dont speak german, just download it, its
selfexplaining...

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 ;)

yepp, perhaps i should have posted it offtopic...but the nice thing is, that you could easily control every midi accepting program (e.g. reaktor) with it.
are two joystick externals, one in GGEE
im at work at the moment and cant remember of getting a compiled GGEE for
windows or i was to lazy to compile it by myself or to stupid ;-).
btw: has anyone an actual (i know that there are some older versions around)
compiled dll for download?
greetings

I don't think it's off topic. But you can already use PD for all that loopstation does. Just make a patch that reads joystick data, scales them to appropriate MIDI values and sends them to any MIDI device using the plethora of PD's midi objects like noteout, ctlout etc.
This way, you can even drive the obviously limited Reaktor with a joystick via PD ;)

ok, i wasnt aware of that when i found loopstation - i hadnt tested the
joystick interface in pd before cause i thought it would be linux only.
now i found a windows port of joseph a. sarlo's joystick external and ill try it today...does anyone know if (in the case that above external doesnt
recognize all the nice buttons on my pad) there`s a windows version of ggee
joystick interface that is working with usb?
thanks

I use Joseph A. Sarlo's joystick external on a USB joystick and XP to do real- time manipulation of the sample rate and r-t filtering; saving experiments onto hardisk. It works very well. The external recognises all the joystick buttons (4+1) when loaded and the x/y movement also works at the resolution mentioned below. I hope to try this soon on RedHatLinux 7.3 + planet ccrma which I just got installed. Have you ever tried a serial joystick? I could not make mine to work. I also have experienced the USB joystick on CPS software but I found the shareware license uncomfortable (although it is a good piece of software)

anyone using the shoutcast~ external from http://www.akustische-kunst.de/puredata/ ????
been noticing some strange things.... that when I set it to 22050 khz, the mp3 stream that comes out is labeled properly at 22khz, but plays slowly as if it were really a 44,1khz stream.
tested this under linux with mpg123 and xmms & mplayer. strangely enough it works fine with a flash mp3 player under windows or macintosh.
when i send a print command to schoutcast~ it says:
LAME mp3 settings: output sample rate: 22050 Hz mode: joint stereo bitrate: 32 kB/s quality: 1 mp3 chunk size: 2304 resampling from 44100 to 22050 Hz! server type: IceCast server state: connected URL: http://localhost:8000/mountpnt
any tips?
thanks - august.
Hi August,
which version of shoutcast~ are you using? I guess 0.3b.... I just found a bug that made resampling useless. I'll update the zip on the website later tonight; together with a OS X binary release.
thanks for the hint,
Olaf
