thats right, you can now use your Wii remotes to control your midi devices!

and here it is controlling a midi device (moog voyager):

this thing could easily control the filters and such of the E4! just think: fluid control over all of those parameters... oh the probabilities!
visit the
osculator page for more info!

Actually you can do it with a ps2 controller, but that requires a lot more work. There is a band here in Norway called rockettothesky that plays live with ps2-controllers controlling a macbook.
I actually got my self a wiimote some months ago, and it's a lot of fun. I got it controlling various softsynths, and with some more programming I could surly get it to controll the Emu. There are lot of good tutorials and software free on the internett. All you need is a computer, wiimote, bluetooth on your computer, and a midi out from the computer if you want to control anything other than softsynths.

Sure, np. You might also want to search for Maple Midi or something like that. It adds virtual midiports to your computer which glovePie can access. You might need it to control softsynths.

by the way, i wouldnt put this up without having tried it. indeed i have tried it and was so impressed that i posted it in a few places. when i tried it, it was controlling a roland sh-101 through a kenton midi to cv converter. seriously cool man, i gotta say. the the sounds reaction to the motion was immediate and tactile. nuances were easily imparted.
