Started experiments using an Xbox (usb) controller along with PureData (extended version) and loopMIDI as a midi controller through renoise. Not all controls are mapped as yet, however I have made some progress manipulating MrhythmizerMB plugin. I had compiled something in PureData previously, however was unavle to get some controls to work properly. Got some help from this: https://www.tigermendoza.co.uk/2015/03/xbox-360-control-pad-ableton-live-with-pure-data/ and plan to work on problem solving the missing buttons as the previous example does not include all buttons on the xbox controller. This is my progress so far…
Eat that shit FL!
Clearly an XBONE controller tho! :)))
So it is. Did use a 360 also previously. edited. 
I think it is even possible to control things with Kinect or other gestures technical solution?
how is it in practice tho? is it usable? can imagine laying in bed with renoise on the tv tracking away…
It’s usable, I would use it live and had seen something similar previously. I had the intention to use kinect or something similar, think it can be done. Perhaps the guitar hero drums, I did plan to try that. Predominately this would be for live.
