IE, It could control other midi hardware too?īut on a related note… For you folk that do have a Wii controller kicking about, and never tried it as a midi controller… Do give it a go! It is huge fun! And genuinely useful, and not just some novelty.

The input devices were evaluated with respect to the quality of the data they. Which is all good I guess this could be more useful still, if whatever he is planning to make will also behave as a standalone Nunchuk to midi converter. Wii controller tracking rhythmic motions. I see Olivier is taking a different route by going standalone though. I don’t recall the last time I had anything like that happen… That said, I thought wireless/bluetooth drop outs and related audio performance issues were largely a thing of the past. It would be a bummer to get stuck into a project, only to realise that there was already a good way to do much the same thing… Sure it could be great! Im not ruling that out… I was merely mentioning something Olivier might not have been aware of. Im guessing you plan to do a computer free/standalone version though? But when it is already this cheap and easy to do (and we all have computers) im not sure how justified it would be to do it standalone…
SEND SESNOR DATA WIIMTE OSCULATOR PC
Macs have Osculator (which is great!) And PC users have GlovePie, which does a similar thing.
SEND SESNOR DATA WIIMTE OSCULATOR SOFTWARE
So then all you need is software to translate the wii movements and buttons, into midi messages. The regular Wii controller has bluetooth, obviously… And these days many computers have it included also (if not, then it is cheap and simple to add). I’ve been doing just that for a couple of years now. The accelerometers are good for the auto stabilisation hoopla.īack to midi however… Is a bespoke hardware mod/device really needed for Wii/Nunchuk midi control? Im thinking not… Simply because it is already very cheap and easy to use a Wii controller, as a midi controller. I was recently watching a vid were some chap was gutting one to use it’s key parts in an RC drone. Yeah these things do pack a lot of useful technology into something so small and cheap… Would you use the buttons to trigger notes? Latched mode (one press for note on, one press for note off) or continuous (note on on press, note off on release)? What about the accelerometer: controller or note trigger? Any ideas of other interaction methods for playing melodies?
