Or pads, or sticks with sensors on, or a keyboard or nearly anything actually. Would be much more interesting as an effects/synth, theremin etc. controller. So that's what I'm going to look for now!

I actually waited outside in the cold to get a Wii and I am super psyched that the Wii remote will be open to homebrew stuff. I'm currently working to get my DS to work as a controller as well. Best Dan Cool, can’t wait to see the coverage. I actually waited outside in the cold to get a Wii and I am super psyched that the Wii remote will be open to homebrew stuff.

CDM has also just updated our capacity in a big way and have an additional server as backup. So anyone suffering from traffic, we can also host any music-related material -- and you know we're into this stuff. I don't think that's the issue, though, as Wiili is the one that seems totally dead. They're an open source project, so they may be able to find someone large who does OS hosting. (Maybe they have already and I just don't know where to look? Anyone heard?) He’s back, Dan.

We could handle the traffic. Contact me asap if you would like. If in the interim, anybody wants to send us the docs we would be happy to host or redirect the site on the gearwire.com server.

But Don Buchla's device was very significant (along with some other ideas), and you can bet Nintendo has been paying attention to controller design. Buy one Buchla 200e and that should give Don enough take-home for a Wii *and* a PS3. ;) I look at it this way: we've been using MIDI keyboards and mod wheels for decades and we're still coming up with new uses for them. So I think stuff like the Wii could be used nearly endlessly.
