Rejoice Midi Software
12Mar07

In an earlier post, I mentioned how I use a piece of software called Rejoice to map events from a usb joystick/gamepad to midi notes. This is so I can use a cheap usb video game joystick as a controller for audio software, for example changing pitch or tone by pushing the joystick a certain direction, or firing off loops with buttons. Anyhow, someone pointed out to me that the site for Rejoice is currently down, so I thought I’d upload the installer for it here, in case anyone is looking for it.

Rejoice will convert your Joystick or P5 Glove into a MIDI controller. Up to 1000 Button/Axis/POV actions on your joystick can be mapped to MIDI controllers. Download the installer here. Please note that I’m only hosting this freeware software as a mirror. Although I’ve personally used it, I don’t know much at all about its internal workings. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the documentation that was also on the now defunct original site.
