Hey,
Here's my take at adapting a USB joystick (purchased second hand, $20

for a pair) as a "controller" for my guitar.  I actually performed

with that thing.  The thumb sticks were replaced by photocells so that

by waving my hand in front (and changing the intensity of light

reaching the components) I could control some continuous parameters.

The buttons of the pad were mapped to various things, depending on the

"preset".

It was all hooked up to pd in which most of the audio processing took

place except for some presents where the buttons controlled a

sooperlooper instance via OSC.
I have now decided to give up the USB joystick on that instrument and

try to figure something out with the wiimote which is a lot of fun to

play with.  The other usual contender is an iPod Touch/iPhone even if

mostly used in connection with OSC.
Have fun digging, there are a lot of fun projects around.
