Hi there
I bought one of sparkfuns trackballs and want to incorperate it into a midi controller. They give code that lets it control pitch and volume.
Thing is i'm new to this and can understand code. What i'm kinda looking to do is control one parameter (control change like modulation) with the x or y data and another cc change with the other cc data. I can see how to substitute this code to do that. If I could do that I wanted then to use a push button to allow me to select a number of other cc's, maybe cycling threw 3 or 4 of them. Also ithe code seems very complicated to just control two things( pitch and volume) or is it?

Roll-a-tone Example Code

This is some really awfully messy code that I created for the product video.
It's essentially a mashup of the Musical Instrument Shield example code by
Nathan Seidle and the PS/2mouse Library example found at:
www.arduino.cc/playground/ComponentLib/Ps2mouse
I left most of the original comments intact so it shouldn't be too difficult to
pick it apart and figure out what the heck I was thinking.
Roll the ball up and down to control the volume (velocity) of the notes,
Roll side to side to play different notes,
Press the buttons (Yellow and White wires pulled to Ground) to change instruments.
Have fun! Make Music! Modify my code! Who Cares?
