What you have here is a couple of things going on, max/msp reads the game logfile (which is a text file which updates as events happen), you can use these to trigger stuff in max, then max sends keystrokes to the game. I got this working directly from max/msp in the end with a mxj object someone made which does precisely what i wanted (you can send keystrokes directly from max/msp to quake) My next project will just be to solder the pedal’s circuit onto a keyboard or gamepad PCB.

#Midi input to keystroke pro

So, I tried MT pro and it works to left click the mouse… But, I can’t get it to “hold” the mouse button down (and then subsequently release) which is what I need it to do. Anyway, same problem… PPjoykey wouldn’t recognize the key. (I use it to remap keys for doujin shooter games that don’t allow remapping). So I tried another trick which I call “ppjoykey back to keyboard”, which is … If you run PPjoykey to emulate a joystick with your keyboard, then use Xpadder to emulate a keyboard with your joystick. I tried using MT but same problem as you, nothing would recognize the keystrokes. So I’ve got the foot controller hooked up thru the midi keyboard. I tried tonight with some different utilities than you used, but still to no luck.īasically all I need is one additional key which would be controlled with my foot controller. Hey Genfu… I’ve always wanted to do this as well for gaming.

Incidentally, i dont know how to program or use visual basic or anything like that…

#Midi input to keystroke windows

perhaps there is another programme though which would allow me to do windows scripting based on midi presses, and then i can just send midi data from max. i’m looking at this with respect to getting max msp to send commands to other programmes by triggering key press data, but as far as I can tell there is no easy way to send key presses in max, only recieve them. There is plenty about getting joysticks to control midi, but not the other way around!Īny hints would be useful. Say a certain midi cc value is 10, i want that to trigger the letter Q on my keyboard, as if i pressed Q physically in windows, so it could for example trigger something to happen in an application which responds to keyboard presses.Īlternatively can you convert midi data to some form of control pad data, so basically speaking perhaps you could press a midi key, and that would translate to the same effect as hitting the fire button on a joystick.ĭoes that make sense? what i want is to change midi data so it affects things as if it were a normal keyboard mouse or joystick input device. I hope this helps or at least give you some ideas on where to go from here.Take MIDI data, and get certain values to trigger keyboard presses. Too short of a delay may result in duplicate key message and too long result in too much latency. Of course you can change the letter pressed and released to anything you want.Īlso, I’m only evaluating the C major chord within one octave, Also you might want to tweak the delay to your needs. All 3 keys will need to be released to trigger the letter “A” as a key up message. If all keys are done the letter “A” is send as a key down message. Then the timers evaluate the value of ga to determine if to play a chord or to release it. It is likely that you will not press the 3 keys at exactly the same time so 8 ms might be good compromise for introduced latency. Then we have 2 translators that look at any note within the range and trigger a timer with a delay of 8 ms to give time to evaluate the incoming value. The rules are bitmapping rules that individually set of clear the bits. The second 3 translators clear the bits as the key is released. The first 3 translators set the bits when a key is pressed. We have 6 translators that set or clear the 3 bits of a global variable ga with notes C,E and G. You request is a bit complex, however it can be done.
