Technically speaking a similar method can be used to map any game controller with some changes to the mappings between the HID outputs and ableton controls. Also feel free to clone the whole repository and make you're own version. I’ve made each message range scalable as well, for fine tuning control possibilities. Recently we did a very cool gig for Microsoft’s TechEd 2012, where Brad built a 3D game-style interface. I’m using MaxMSP to receive all the control data from an XBox 360 controller and converting it to OSC messages to be used with any program that accepts OSC, in this case Reaktor. Please feel free to raise issues and feature requrests - I can't guarantee I'll get back in any reasonable time but I'll see what I can do. Now I’ve teamed up with a game/visual developer, Brad Hammond, and started Ethno Tekh. Both seem to work fine but I'd love to know if that's true for other people.Ī massive thank you to Modul8tor for his "Joystick Gamepad Control - m8r 1.0" device which is what I've based mine on. So far I've tested this with a wireless Xbox 360 control pad via an official wireless usb receiver and a wireless Xbox One control pad via a USB cable on a Windows 10 PC. After you have Max/MSP Runtime and the controller drivers installed.

#MAX MSP XBOX CONTROLLER INSTALL#
As the name suggests, this version uses Max 4 Live (a version of Max MSP which opens natively within Ableton Live). You will be prompted to download and install the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

This is my third attempt at creating an interface to enable an Xbox 360 control pad to control functions within an Ableton Live session.
