F A N T A S G E E K ! ! !

I´ve been trying to incorporate this thing to my electrocumbia project: “Sonido Desconocido II” (Unknown Sound System II) for a while now…, maybe your application will flow, i´m already working with supercollider, maybe both…
Thanx 1000

very nice article! A recent addendum:
The miidii-Project allows Windows-PC-users to map wiimote and the wii Balance Board to MIDI signals.
The Balance Board enables you to map your body movements to fader and controller movements which is really fun!
I imagine playing a live gig as a guitarist and controlling the stereo position of your guitar with left/right movements of your body. Moving your body back and forth could control a wah-wah-effect :)

Ive been trying too manipulate arkaos vj with my wii controler , just for triggering effects its awesome and there is no lag , the thing is when i start using xyz controls it becomes very very laggy.If anyone could shed some light on this i would be very happy.
My own thought is that the wii sends so much data that my midi data is gettin corupted somehow, software used wii2midi and darwinremote.

[...] I’m fairly certain that it’s in fact a Jitter patch — the Mac has the terrific aka.wiiremote object. (See also: CDMusic’s Free Mac Looper for Wii Controller, Wii MIDI Hacking Round-up.) [...]

not to rush you along pete, but if you’ve got some time just to do a simple tutorial on using the aka.wiiremote.mxo for Max/MSP, that would be great. i’m pretty new to max (i really only started using it after i saw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As-jKn1Mm0w), and this is definitely a bit more complicated than an additive synth.

also, it will probably take some calculus to make use of all the wiimote has to offer but i’m digging out my old class notes. just think, four continuous parameters (x,y,z, and rotation) in one hand! then, on top of that, 12 buttons. add a nunchuck and you’ve got xyz and the joystick for another two continuous parameters. the applications for live signal processing are just ridiculous!!!

I’m trying to use IR data with the aka.wiiremote object. I built a USB sensor bar with 2 IR LEDs but the range of motion has been more limited than the real nintendo sensor bar.

The vertical axis is very limited, but I don’t know how to improve that range. Anybody know how the Nintendo bar has such good vertical range with only one row of lights?

And does anyone know what the optimal number of LEDs to use is, and their distances, etc?

Wow.

That stuff is crazy.

I wish I could do stuff like that.

I’ll just stick to sequences on my Korg, thank you. :)
