Controlling a game

My goal: to use my Korg padKontrol in the game "Warhammer Online".
I got as far as translating the MIDI messages to regular characters, using the excellent Midi Translator. Tested the output on notepad: works fine.

However, in-game the translated messages don't seem to arrive.
Is the output format technically different from a regular keyboard output? Or is it a 100% emulation?

Hope you can help me out here. I've checked with the game developer to see if the fault is with the game (no replies yet).

Ah, found the answer myself: http://www.bome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1221

Hi,

please tell us if it works

A video will also be nice. To have a great example for gaming with Midi Translator.

Best regards,

Nope, it's not working in Midi Translator 1.61 / Windows Xp / Warhammer Online.

Tested on:
- Note Off (note Off generates a key stroke emulation)
- Note On (note On with fixed velocity generates a key stroke emulation)
- frets on fire (Key down + Key up)

All worked fine on Notepad, but not on the game.

So if you want that video, you'll need to give me the working software first.

[Update 2009-03-29]: It works in Midi Translator Pro version 1.7 ! Yaay!

ah, great to hear it works with version 1.7!

Does Midi Translator capture the x-y pad of a Korg padKontrol?
I would like it to control the movement of a game character.

Hi,

should be all midi, so it should work. Try it out with the Trail version!

Best regards,
