Ingredients
-----------

# PureData [1]
# Quartz Composer [2]
# MidiPipe [3]
# Xbox 360 Controller Driver [4]
# GarageBand or other software that understands MIDI

Running
-------

# Install everything
# Open PD to MIDI.mipi in MidiPipe
# Open Binary Guitar.pd in PureData
# Go to Pure Data / Preferences / MIDI settings... and point the MIDI inputs and outputs to MidiPipe
# Open Binary Guitar.qtz in Quartz Composer
# Connect the X-Plorer Guitar. If everything's working correctly, the Quartz Composer viewer should be black (rather 
than a checkered pattern)
# Open GarageBand, select your favourite virual instrument.
# Rock on!
