This is a Max for Live patch which allows for up to three separate samples to be assigned to any of the trigger buttons on the Midi Fighter controller by applying different output velocities to the triggered MIDI note depending on the duration for which the button on the Midi Fighter is depressed. The velocity zone editor in a Live Rack’s chain list can then be used to set different samples to respond to specific output velocities from the Midi Fighter. The three velocities are all customisable, meaning that the patch can also be used to trigger the same sample at different velocities by bypassing the user of the velocity zone editor in a chain list; as is the response speed for the triggering of each of the three samples, with available options of fast and slow.

Using MaxMSP to receive all the control data from a PS3 controller and converting it to MIDI messages to be used with any program that accepts MIDI. I was also happy to discover that the sixaxis values and button pressure get passed to Max as well. Plus its wireless so I can just completely lean back in my chair and have fun controlling things. I’ve made each message range scalable as well, for fine tuning control possibilities. 

I added 9 nodes for each joystick which gave me 11 control parameters (including XY) for each joystick! It was a little unpredictable to know what kinds of results that would achieve but that was part of the fun:) There is also momentary and toggle Note Ons, button pressure CCs, SIXAXIS motion CCs, random scale Note assignments, 3 parallel sequencers and sample and hold CC values!
