years ago i used to play DMX light FX with a gampad in berlin squat techno parties.
it was often better than TV with the kaleidoscope

now i came back to this way of producing FX in realtime ... that's why i post in production forum.

have a look at my actual controller setup:
http://www.virtuasonic.com/mijoypro.htm
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/pc_gaming/gamepads/devices/288&cl=us,en

the two analog joysticks can be used to bind 4 parameters
(2 * x/y axis, value +/- 64 ... and they physically always reset themselves back to zero).

have some other microsoft sidewinder gamepad, which has
a sensor to recognize movement ...that will be the next i try.

of course the CC are routed to my virus - not to lights anymore.

it's chained up like this: gamepad <-> usb <-> mijoy <-> cubase <-> usb <-> virus

what are the most common bindings for such analog sticks on a va synth?

i intend to use it for lead sounds.

i have that controller and cubase. I don't have virus. Can I use my controller in a similar fashion without having the virus?

you can set the plugin it as MIDI-IN for any channel (which means: any VSTi)
and it has a mapping table to assign individual MIDI CC to each physical control.

so I plug it in and it will just show up as a midi in in cubase?

the usb gamepad will show up in naked cubase ... but it's useless without the plug-in,
since the mapping table is required to configure it's CC and to be able to assign it as MIDI input device.

it seems to function as kind of *joystick to control code converter* and *midi device emulator* plug-in.

am myself still testing and assigning CC ... apparently it doesn't support sending sysex (yet).
