.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
lsmi-joystick \- Linux Pseudo MIDI Input -- Joystick
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B lsmi-joystick
|
|
.RI [ options ] " files" ...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This driver allows any joystick supported by the Linux joydev interface to
|
|
be used as a MIDI pitch/modulation controller. Of course, some joysticks are
|
|
more suitable than others. I use an old analog flight stick. Holding down
|
|
button 1 causes the vertical axis to send pitchbend messages, while button 2
|
|
causes the vertical axis to send modulation messages. Holding down both
|
|
buttons causes the vertical axis to send pitchbend messages and the
|
|
horizontal axis to send modulation messages.
|
|
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
|
|
Distribution specific init scripts are not included. The drivers may be
|
|
started from init, your .bashrc, by qjackctl, etc. In order to be run by a
|
|
non-root user the drivers must have access to the device files in /dev/input.
|
|
This may be accomplished by adding a group 'input', adding desired users to
|
|
this group, and configuring udev to assign the appropriate ownership to files
|
|
in /dev/input. It should be perfectly safe to run the drivers as root,
|
|
however.
|
|
|
|
For realtime scheduling (the \-R option), either use set_rlimits, or set the
|
|
appropriate POSIX capabilities on the executable:
|
|
.P
|
|
/sbin/setcap cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_nice=ep /usr/bin/lsmi-joystick
|
|
.P
|
|
The lsmi.SlackBuild script already includes RT scheduling support.
