Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Mayflash Universal Arcade Controller for, well a home built arcade machine but I’m also wondering if anyone has experience with using this to also send Midi instructions. I’m specifically interested in using the joystick to crossfade between patches and textures similar to the Yamaha SY-22 (TG-33). I check through the forums here but haven’t seen anything. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it possible?
I recently purchased this jostick midi controller

It is hardwired by the builder to whatever midi commands you want. But with Cantible you can convert those to whatever you want per song or state.
I wanted a Roland-style bender so mine is PB left/right, cc1 up, and a different cc down. It also moves these functions away from the rather awkward loction up on the main panel of on my keyboard.
He also makes a smaller version like the thumb sticks on a game controller. I found them to be a bit small for PB, but might be fine for other applications.
USB-C and old-school midi on 3.5mm jack.
