Split info from Playstation controllers to computer and playstation ?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to get input from a playstation controller whilst still having that input go through to the console?
The idea being you could play a game normally whilst also controlling musical paramters. What would this need?

You can't just "tap into" that circuit. One option could be to wire low-resistance opto-couplers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator) into the signal cables and connect a 2nd circuit board like an arduino (http://www.arduino.cc) to it. To put it simple, an opto coupler could be seen as a "signal duplicator".Check the arduino site, they have a section on psx controllers: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/PSXLibraryIf you have a wireless controller, then I really wouldn't know...Hope this can help you further.
