; also a big huge thanks to Tom Boughner over at AutoHotkey cause without his midi output functions,
; well, this would have been POSSIBLE, but waaay more difficult!
;
;and also to Laszlo over there for the work he did improving said midi functions
;and the help he gave me with getting pitch bends working

;
; WELCOME to the chordally focused edition of the xbox 360 midi controller.
;
; A,B,Y,X buttons play different tones of the chord.
; Left thumbstick selects different chords.
; Chords available are based off the tetrachords.
; Each thumbstick position gives you access to two triads in root position.
; Push in left thumbstick for sixth set.
;
; Back button selects major/minor tonality.
; Start button cycles through four inversion (first, second, third, and seventh)
;
; L Button temporarily shifts you down an octave.
; R button temporarily shifts you up an octave.
;
; D pad left/right control "permanent" home octave selection.
; D pad up/down control "permanent" transposition
;
; Left trigger has two modes. Velocity and root-doubling. Press L, then R to toggle between them.
; Press R, then Back to lower the root-double by one octave.
; Press R, then Start to raise the root-double by one octave.
;
; Left trigger controls velocity (do not use both triggers together, they cancel eachother out.
;
; Chords available from the left thumbstick positions are as follows:
;
; MAJOR:
; center= I, iii. Up = ii, IV. Right = iii, V. Down= IV, vi. Left= V, vii o. Press left thumbstick in for vi and IIX (I one octave up).
;
; MINOR:

Nothing seems to happen when I start the exe, only an AHK icon appears in the tray, where I can exit the program. MIDI-OX does not show midi activity when I press the gamepad buttons. I use the controller as a USB joystick.
Do you plan to post the source code? |

Sorry for not responding. This was my first "programming" project, such as it is, and while I think my actual system is musically sound, the code could really use a lot of optimization. SO I'm going to rewrite the entire thing from scratch without referencing the old code or repurposing it and post again.
