Peter builds analog synth controller from PS2 handset

Please note that I didn't build it myself. All credits go to Dave Krooshof.

Earlier this year he made an MS10 ccontroller also (check the video: url=http://fint.textamerica.com/?r=4217420 )

Finally; it maybe interesting to know the specs for my controller:
2 trigger outs, 1 continuous CV-out, 1 cracklebox-like touchpad CV-out, Left Joystick X/Y +8V CV-outs, Right Joystick X/Y +/-5V CV-outs. (I do hope I've got the voltages right but I'm sure Dave will correct me if I'm wrong ;-)
 

And I didn't notice you already edited your post Tom... Doh! :-)
 

next step: guitar hero controller!
 

Of course we won't even mention the difference in sound between Max/MSP and a Korg ms20..

Cool to see Dave's stuff here! I have a big PC joystick he rigged to work with my Doepfer Modular.
 

This is brilliant, Im planning of utilizing all my junk joysticks and create some sort of synth station.

keep up the rocket science
 

that's nice, but peter is taking a hard route to something xik (guy who made the midines) whipped up a couple years ago. I can't find it now, but what it was was a small aplet called xikstick that when used in conjunction with another program called midi-yolk, turned any computer joystick into a midi controller.

you'll have to ask him about it I can't remember the details.
 

Hard to use MIDI to control parameters on a MS20, though...
 

a good read.
