Thanks a million for the Wii Controller implementation - I replaced the Motormix with the Wii for a festival performance on the weekend of a piece for HurdiGurdi and Kyma - you can hear a sample of the piece here - http://www.syncsonics.com/blog/?page_id=39.

I noted a couple of things.

If i use the ButtonA to control a toggle in the GUI, it does not toggle - ie. it is active when the buttojn is down and goes to the off state as soon as the button is let go, so acts more as a button. I am using this function to freeze a granulation buffer, so need the toggle behaviour - I could not see how to change this behaviour.

I would also be really pleased if the other buttons on the Wii could be implemented as I need lots of control and would use the buttons to redirect the X/Y/Z behaviours to different variables if they were available directly in CapyTalk.

The audience were fascinated, and so was I :-) It felt nice to be able to just sway along with the music and control everything without looking at the computer at all.

Thanks a million - lots of fun

Right. To make a toggling widget in the VCS, use a SoundToGlobalController. The Value expression would be !ButtonA asToggle. The GeneratedEvent would be !ToggleA (or whatever you like). Use the VCS Editor to change !ToggleA widget into a fill Button, and you will have some visual feedback on what state the toggle is in.

>I would also be really pleased if the other buttons on the Wii could be implemented as I need
The quick way to do this would be to use OSCulator to map those buttons to specific MIDI controller numbers. Then you can make your own global map in order to map those MIDI controls to more meaningful names, ranges, and widget types.

That's great news!

I am sorry, there won't be a Windows port. I have the time to support only one implementation. A Mac Mini with Intel processor runs just fine!

this is exactly what is so exciting about the Kyma/OSCulator/Wiimote,
just yesterday whilst trying out the new sounds from SSC [which are really great!! thanks a lot ] I found myself playing Kyma for the first time! With the Wiimote, I suddenly found myself taking my eyes off the faders and really listening to my interaction with Kyma and feeling like I was performing rather than trying to get faders/parameters into interesting combinations.

My Thanks to SSC for the great new sounds and to Tucsland/Camille for enabling this!
