XBOX 360 Controller
Hi guys
I am working on a project for my masters involving procedural audio for weapons. I am aiming to connect a xbox 360 controller to the patch to control the weapon however, I am having a bit of a problem. I managed to speak to someone on here a month or two ago and he got me started (cant't find the conversation otherwise I would ask him specifically). Anyway, could anybody take a peek at the mapping of the controller patch and see what is up with it.
One thing to note, I am connecting the xbox 360 controller into the usb however it does not power the controller (not lights etc) does that mean it isnt working?
Do I need to change settings in max to register the usb controller?
Cheers

I think that might have been me you corresponded with - I'll have a look at the patch when I get to the office later and see what's up.
Hi Joe,
Everything works fine here - what's specifically the issue you're having? What error message (if any) do you get in the Max window?
A couple things to check:
1) Make sure the controller is plugged in before you launch the patch so [hi] can find it.
2) Do you have the Xbox 360 controller driver installed? For Mac OSX, I use this one: . I'm not a Windows user, so if you are you'll need to search accordingly.
Best,
Steven
By the way, just FYI, if you are on a Mac: I had trouble with the latest version (0.12) of the driver above (on a MacBook Pro 15" 2009, OSx 10.6.8) and just emailed the developer about it. Version 0.11 works just fine for me.
Hi Steven
I did not have the driver installed no (good shout!). I will get this installed and make sure I have the controller plugged in before opening the patch. I will let you know how I get on
Thanks steven

Hi
This might sound really daft but I downloaded the driver (0.11) but I am having trouble installing it for some reason. When I click on the folder Install360Controller and open it, I see the Install360Controller.packproj, scripts folder and text. When I click on the packproj it simply says choose application, what is the application I need?
Sorry about this

Hmmm...what system are you on? I'm on OSX 10.6.8, and what I get from the download is a .dmg with the sole contents being 'Install360Controller.pkg' which is a standard installer package: when double-clicked it brings up the installer application.
""One thing to note, I am connecting the xbox 360 controller into the usb however it does not power the controller (not lights etc) does that mean it isnt working?""
are you not supposed to plug it the USB AND to the wall ?
I am running osx 10.5.8
I will try downloading some of the other files and see if I have any luck with them
Cheers.

I am also running osx 10.5.8.
