Well after watching this piece of art by Daito Manabe, I’m now convinced that the Wii controller can be used as a instrument. This guy is incredible and truly shows what’s possible if you get your creative juices running wild.
And to keep things interesting here are some links for you to explore:
- Some external objects for Max developed by Masayuki Akamatsu (includes one for Wii)
- Wii Loop Machine
- Wii Midi Control in Resolume with glovePIE
- Glove Programmable Input Emulator for Windows (glovePIE)
- WiiToMidi for OSX
- Wii-to-MIDI tutorial for Windows
- WiiDI: videos working with Wii and MIDI
- WiiLi.org has tons of hardware details
- OSCulator: OSC, MIDI and keystroke interface software
- Deckadance DJ mixing app now support Wii controllers natively
- Wii remote drum machine for Windows
- Coding4Fun: managed Library for Wiimote (good for MS programmers)
