I have an Xbox 360 DDR pad that I'm trying to use as a kind of pressure sensor with Max msp, I am a big time NOOB and need help with how to get this to work. I just need one of the pad buttons to work so it will send a bang to the computer to activate a recording. How do i get the dance pad to show up in Max msp, PLEASE HELP, btw I am working on a Mac

Not sure if the 360 version will work.

You can also see if you can get any program with OSC to read the input from the DDR pad and send that info into Max using the CNMAT OSC objects.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, we can help with the patch once you figure out how to get it into Max.

Try looking up programs like OSCulator, they might work with the pad.
