Easy guitar hero synth

Step 1: Get the software

Google "Electronic Piano 2.5" and download it (mac users can use garage band)
next Google "Joy2key" and download the software ( web sight looks a little old but its good)

install Electronic Piano 2.5 and you now have the software

(i recommend making a folder on the desktop that is called joy to key or something an have the joy to key in there and a shortcut to Electronic Piano 2.5.)

I have windows vista and When I try to download the "Electronic Piano" It installs no problem, but when I try to run it, I get an error message that says " Cannot find file C:\PROGRA~1\Electronic Piano 2.5\Pianoo25.exe (or one of it's componants.) Check to ensure the path and filename are corect and all that required libraries are available." anyone know what I am doing wrong????

rockband strat works too (not the drums though {there is a delay}) you can try any guitar controller the wii controller i know you can do but you need a com with bluetooth and some cool extra software What controller were you thinking

[MilotisX]

the drums work, u need a good sound driver, use fl studio and asio for all

i used my standard xbox 360 wireless controller and i noticed u don't have to strum. is there any way you could make this so you have to strum. i like struming, and pie. mmmmmmm.... pie.....aple with bannana nut pie.....

[sashadalton43]

you sound like my friend, he is alwoys eating and has a strange obssesion with...mmm...PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes there is. When pushed down a button is TRUE ( 1 ) and released FALSE ( 0 ). Multiply the value of the button and the value of the strummer. 1*1=1 so note=(button) * (strummer.down) With the boolean logic that glovepie or any other joy-to-key program uses it should work.

[Spense09]

im not trying to be rude but, could you explain that in english. i would appreciate it.

[duckythescientist]

Sure, When you strum the computer sees the strum button as a 1 and when you leave it alone it sees it as a 0 similarly with the fret, when the fret is pushed down it is seen by the computer as a 1 and when it is not pressed it is seen as a 0. Also if you make a noise command equal 1 then the computer will make the sound. So using the simple math property that 0 * anything == 0 (0xANYTHING=0) you can set it up so that the noise equals 1 and happens only when both the fret and the strummer equal one. In your program you will probably see a line somewhere that looks something like this note.1a = joystick.button.1 it needs to be changed to note.1a = (joystick.button.1) * (joystick.button.{strummer button number}) or you could just use the AND operation in your line of code like this note.1a = joystick.button.1 AND joystick.button.{strummer button number} I hope that helped...

[rootbeerben3]

how do you get to the code

[Spense09]

what code?

[rootbeerben3]

Where do you write 1a = (joystick.button.1) * (joystick.button.{strummer button number}) I have a wii rockband guitar by to way

[duckythescientist]

The code you write for joy2key or glovepie. Download one of them, look at it, then have your epiphany and ask no more. :p

[rootbeerben3]

I need to know what to do. Could you give me step by step instructions on what to do?

[duckythescientist]

You write it in glovepie or joy2key. Click file, new.

[Spense09]

Yes it did help. Since anything is equal to 0 just change the settings so a strum+a fret button is equal to 1. Instead of only a fret=1 or a strum=1

[jajabyron]

oh, just any. I just got Rockband,so now i have a strat

[jajabyron]

where do you find the part where, on JoyToKey, to find game controllers

[hockeybuggy]

google joy2key
