First announced in September 2005, the Wiimote didn't ship until 14 months later, and for at least a year following the first shipments, the demand far outstripped the supply. The Wiimote, as its friends call it, is arguably the greatest achievement in game controller history. These days much of the buzz, in the NIME crowd and among hackers all over the world, is about Nintendo's wireless Wii Remote. There's a vast international culture devoted to thinking about these questions and devising possible answers to them, and they meet every year at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference, which I reported on in the January 2006 issue of Sound On Sound ( Many in that group make their own interfaces, while others like to use off–the–shelf hardware borrowed from other areas, especially toys. So should we now be making rather more interesting choices about what constitutes a 'musical instrument'? What are the musical instruments of the future? Are we going to be using keyboards, guitars, saxophones, and drum kits forever? Thanks to digital technology, what an instrument sounds like doesn't have to have any connection with what it looks like or how you play it. Its potential as a music controller is unlimited, and you don't even need a Wii console to use it! when you start a new song/clip in Ableton Live.Nintendo's ultra–affordable Wii Remote controller can sense movement in every direction, and even knows at what angle you're holding it. You could use OSculator for that purpose as well, but I think Ableton Lives midi effects are giving you a better control and if you want to switch between presets you can automate those switches e.g. I can edit which notes are being created for each drum pad and I can send velocity as well, which to be honest wasn’t that useful, as the Wii-Drums are not sending that accurate velocity values and a very ‘quiet’/low velocity values – it is useable if you edit the velocity through the VELOCITY MIDI EFFECT in Ableton Live to a smaller and higher range, but if you are playing electronic music I guess you would be happier if you find a concept where you don’t necessarily need different velocity for your sounds.
I use Ableton Live for triggering my samples (and in my video for recording and looping the beat I play), Ableton Live receives MIDI notes via an internal virtual connection (IAC driver) which are being send by OSculator. Of course Max for Live is always a way to go as well, but as I have used OSculator for nearly a decade now on numerous shows and it never crashed or did anything weird, this is definitely a solution I can recommend as a stable solution.

There are Apps for Windows as well, which will work with the Wiimote but I can’t say if they are any good for working with the Wii-Drums.
OSCULATOR WIIMOTE TUTORIAL SOFTWARE
I am on a Mac, so this guide only works for OSX, as the software OSculator which translate the signals from the Wii-Drums/Wiimote is only for Mac. It is know working much better then before, still latency is an issue but it’s now much better then it was before and I could start thinking again about using a move-able drum set-up for shows. A few weeks ago I stumbled over a forum where people were discussing that issue, this way I found out that the software, I was using to connect my Wiimote was updated to work with the Wii-Drums and gave it another try. I tried if I could just hit them a bit earlier but this wasn’t working at all. I used the Wiimote in conjunction with a Wii-Guitar, so I was looking into Wii-Drums and got some 2nd hand ones of Ebay for, I think it was 15 Euros.īUT – the latency was to high and even just using them for just one song as a special effect wasn’t an option. As I’m playing a hybrid kit with a Drumkat and Roland triggers, all my electronic drum sounds are coming from Ableton Live anyways. Using acoustic drums would have ment to have multiple sending/receiving audio units and set-up costs would have been very high and would have been not very handy at all – that’s why I thought about midi drums. As I’m standing while playing in this band anyways and wanted to be even more pro-active, able to move and dance on stage, I thought this was a good idea but hard to realize.

Some years ago I was thinking about how to make my bands ( Ego vs Emo ) performance more lively I had this idea about creating a drum set-up which would allow me to move around on stage.
