Using midi notes to control freestyler

Post by bckeeping »

Hi Guys,

Another one from me I am afraid!

I have been trying to use glovepie and a WiiMote to allow for remote control of freestyler when it's absolutely necessary to get down with the kids.
Glovepie is a program which can interperate signals from joysticks and wiimotes etc to output midi.

I have managed to get Freestyler to recognise the midi note signals from glovepie by changing the TriggerValue to 60 in the freestyler.ini file. However it only registers the first press, midi reception then needs to be turned off and on again to get it to work again.

Has anyone experienced anything similar with other midi controllers?

For example, pressing "A" on the wiimote should get the scans to point at a mirrorball by switching override button 1 on, but pressing it again does not turn the button off.
Or, another example, pressing up and down should go up and down through the movement presets in Submaster 1, however it only goes down once and then the button does nothing.

Has anyone had any success in getting this setup to work with freestyler?

Any help would be most gratefully appreciated!

Kind Regards
Ben
