[Rwp] configuring midi-joystick help please

[Rusty Perez]

An update here.
Some how, but I'm not sure how, I was able to get reaper to react to
keypresses on the xbox controller.

In the actions list, I chose an action, then went in to "add" a
shortcut. I pressed a button on the controller, but, the thing is that
the controller is sending out CC messages on chanle 1 and no matter
which button I press, it only sends out cc33 through cc36 and it is
unpredictable which the button will send out.

I'm not sure if I have a bad controller, or if I've configured things
incorrectly.

Any thoughts?


thanks!
Rusty
