The Binary Guitar
-----------------
 
Turns a Guitar Hero USB controller into a real instrument. Mac only, for now. Demo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cv/2399863051/
 
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!
