Description:

This small program transforms your joystick inputs into midi controllers.
It implements a pitch pod, a note pod, a pitch wheel pod and 2 midi control pods.
Axes, buttons and sliders can be freely assigned to any of those,
allowing you to play your favorite midi instruments using your Direct Input device.

The Badstick program can also be seen as a DirectX Dinput to midi gate.

Requirements:
- at least 1 joystick
- at least 1 midi output
- DirectX 8.0 or higher
- Only tested on Windows XP, but might work under Win9X and Win2000.

This software is mostly free and comes with no guaranty of any kind.
It was coded pretty quickly and should note be relied on.
As an example, I would not recommend using it for live performance.
Eventually, I will try to bring it to that level, but I am busy enought for now.

Note that for 5$, you can unlock pitch range.
This feature allows the controlled instrument to be played over the full frequency range.
Just search for "BadStick" on www.shareit.com to get the unlocking key.

If you are interested in using BadStick in collaboration with other softwares such as Cubase, you should
take a look at MIDI YOKE from www.midiox.com/.
