In an earlier post, I mentioned how I use a piece of software called Rejoice to map events from a usb joystick/gamepad to midi notes. This is so I can use a cheap usb video game joystick as a controller for audio software, for example changing pitch or tone by pushing the joystick a certain direction, or firing off loops with buttons. Anyhow, someone pointed out to me that the site for Rejoice is currently down, so I thought I’d upload the installer for it here, in case anyone is looking for it.
Rejoice will convert your Joystick or P5 Glove into a MIDI controller. Up to 1000 Button/Axis/POV actions on your joystick can be mapped to MIDI controllers. Download the installer here. Please note that I’m only hosting this freeware software as a mirror. Although I’ve personally used it, I don’t know much at all about its internal workings. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the documentation that was also on the now defunct original site.
Thank you very much! Rejoice turned my regular joystick in my main midi controller!
Do you know if Rejoice can do the same for a computer keyboard? I was wondering because I don’t have a MIDI piano keyboard and I just got Reason 2.5, which requires some kind of MIDI input; being able to use my computer keyboard, just like FL Studio lets you, would be great.
Thanks.
