I have a saitek p880 gaming pad and would like to use it with reaper. whats the easiest way to do this? with built in joystick support or with a 3rdp art program?

up............

is it possible to use my joystick in conjunction with the virtual midi keyboard for triggering notes/drums via battery 3? could I use the right dpad to go to the next note and one of the buttons to trigger drum samples? i managed to use a generic script with reaper, but is not how i expected it to be

either this is an incredibly hard & unfamiliar question, or its a familiar & borderline idiotic one.

I guess I dont understand how that would function. What would it be controlling? Do you want to change MIDI values with the joystick? MIke

3rd party app script for use with reapers own joy2midi features i personally use a joy2KEY app which allowed me to map shift ctl and alt to buttons for quick use etc. and the right analog stick's axis i've set to be zoom vert and horiz for quick zooming. should help you! ;)

can joy2midi recognize mouse clicks? i know the right click controls previous/ next set of keys re: the virtual kb

tried using the joy2key but nothing happens when i try to map shit to my p880 controller

which app you using btw? i used 'joy2key' as a generic term for a joystick to keyboard app. i happen to use 'total game control' have done for years, but there are others that do a fine job too. i may remember where it was mentioned in forum, [cue search...] aha. xpadder.

yea i was gonna say xpadder too. very easy to map any controller functions to keyboard or mouse commands. and free for the older but totally functional version
