Arcade controller to send MIDI

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?
