Title: GamePad As MIDI Controller
Post by zanshin777 on Apr 18^th, 2020, 8:28am

I want to use my GamePad as a MIDI Controller.

Especially their control sticks for vibrato purposes.

How to do that?

Hi
I did a google search for "Gamepad as Midi controller" and first entry...
https://www.howtogeek.com/79988/turn-a-gamepad-into-a-midi-controller-to-use-with-audio-software/

Give that a shot and feel free to ask some questions if you need more help.

Stay well

I installed MIDI-OX and Rejoice.

(He installed MIDI Yoke rather than MIDI-OX)

Now what should I do?

Keep following the instructions about Rejoice and join your controller to Midi Yoke 1.
Then assign the the buttons and joystick you want to use to the Midi messages you need.
Check your synth's manual or if it is a VST you are free to choose ( try contentious controller - CC messages) and you then connect them to the VST in your DAW (eg use Learn in Abelton )

In your DAW or MidiOx connect MidiYoke 1 as the Midi In to your synth or VST module.

Vibrato is often programed into patches on synths to respond to Mod Wheel. (CC1)

tried to download rejoice today and wasn´t able to do that. From the first link to audiofanzine there is a second link to rejoice website, but there i get directet to some scam page.

Also howtogeek.com has this: "Note: This article is part of our archive and is likely out of date.
(Links may not work, downloads have not been recently tested for safety)"

So i decided not to use rejoice. I will try glovepie now, but watch out where to load it, it´s not availible from the original creator.
