Re: gamepad as midi controller?

Xbox360:
seems like I fail. I think there were more available axis first time I tried but since then, even after restarting computer, this is what I get:
Restarting, inserting xboxcontrol, pressing gamepads powerbutton and then start Buzz, go to assignments on peerctrl and click control plugin settings, that's the way to do it, right?
I placed the template in /gear/generators. Is that correct?
Xboxcontrol keeps flashing. Never a steady green light.
PC Gamepad
Some kind of breakthrough. Today I managed to bind the gamepad to midi.
I do not succeed to move any parameters. I have assigned joystick on gamepad to parameters but nothing happens.
The only success I have is to send the keystroke "z" which means that I can insert C-4 in pattern editor (what a blast!). Hopefully there are more creative ways to use this with scalewalker and patternist. I can also fill up this forum with the letter z. This also gives a hint about how tiring this thread must be to others....
Look at me go! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
edit: WTF? suddenly, by repeating the same procedure I managed to control a parameter. Cannot say I did anything new more than just adding the same controller with another name ( so I had duplicates) in view>prefs>midi input. Still I was only allowed to choose the old one...Does this make sense? I made an extra controller called gamepad 2. So I had 2 controllers called gamepad 1 and gamepad 2 but they were the same one. And it worked. Weird... Thought I needed polac midi in but it worked anyway with the built in.
