Try PSP to MIDI While Waiting for PSP Ableton Live Controller

Since Rob King is still currently polishing his PSP Ableton Live Controller that allows you to control Ableton Live – a loop-based software music sequencer for Macintosh and Windows – wirelessly, he is releasing a “while waiting” application to keep us busy. PSP to MIDI, is a nifty little program that turns your PSP into a wireless MIDI controller and/or a wireless mouse (available only in Windows). Even if King placed it under the  “just to get something out there” category, this application is still worth a try.

Installation:
    1. Copy the psp2midi directory to your luaplayer Applications directory (usually/PSP/GAME/luaplayer/Applications)
    2. Edit the first line of INDEX.LUA in the directory you just copied to be the IP Address of your destination computer
    3. Copy psp2midi.py to a directory on your computer

Running psp2midi:
    1. From the command line go to the directory you copied psp2midi.py to and run “python psp2midi.py” (without the quotes)
    2. On your PSP run luaplayer and in luaplayer run psp2midi
    3. Choose the internet connection that your computer is connected to.
   
Using psp2midi:

psp2midi has three different modes (2 in non-windows operating systems):  Note mode, Chord mode, and Mouse mode.  When you start psp2midi it will be in chord mode.  Pressing select and the left or right trigger buttons at the same time allows you to cycle between modes (note: in this version there is not yet an indication of which mode you are in, sorry!). 

A complete how-to for the chord and mouse mode is provided in the Read Me text file that comes with the download.

Much thanks to Jonas Lindgren for sending us the tip for this application.
