Hey pern I was going to build one of your video controllers using a joystick
have you compleated yours?
just looking for design ideas before I start buysing buttons and faders
Also - can I replace a push button for a potentiometer or variable resistor (slider)
will that work with your mapper?

I hope to be able to post the DIY instruction here mid next week the latest. No, you can't replace a button with a potentiometer. It's not due to my mapper but how the hardware in the joystick/Gamepad works.
But i'm at the moment also working on a solution that allows you to have more than 4 Potentiometers/Faders also.

CAn't afford a Harley More the pity for me.
For some reason Harley's are god awful espensive North of the Border even more than the exchange rate should allow for.
Triumph's are cheaper - and most of them have to be shipped from the U.K

I doubt this is currently supported in your mapper, but is it technically possible to hook up two USB gamepads at once, and set them to map different functions, thus doubling the effective number of buttons/potentiometers available? I ask as I'm planning to use your system to build a controller to compliment my DAC-2, with 12 sampler keys, as well as some others for FX and other such stuff... One box of buttons, containing the circuitry from 2 gamepads, via a USB hub, and coming out of the box on one usb cable... that would be quite a tidy solution, and cheaper than my original "dismantle an old midi keyboard" idea...

Sure ,
You can do that with the current mapper already. Just copy the program to 2 different folders . Start both, select one MIDI out channel and Controller per program.
And i will soon release the next version of the mapper that supports all 12 buttons on a Gamepad, more axes, Use Point of View buttons as a mouse etc.
I'm doing the same as you are thinking to extend my DMC-1 but using 2 USB joysticks.
(The image is just showing 1 channel. )
