I turned my Dreamcast arcade stick into a midi Controller!



 A friend recently gave me this Dreamcast arcade stick. After ordering an usb adapter and downloading a software called Multicontrol I was able to send midi data to Ableton.
You can do this with any old controller.

Man, this is insane! Very ingenious idea. I've seen people use old Atari controllers to control a circuit bent device but this is a lot more impressive. Keep up the gadgets! It keeps people like me starting out inspired and wanting to eventually create stuff as good as that. Thanks for posting!
