Blast From The Past Garage Hero!

Blast From The Past Garage Hero! In the old days, when I was in college when dinosaurs roamed the earth, or at the very least when Facebook didnt yet offer photos or groups as features and you couldnt friend folks at other schools and it was still called TheFacebook this was a better time, a time when Facebook didnt suck where was I ah yes in the old days, when I was in college, I was an Apple Campus Rep. It was basically a marketing and evangelism position for Apple, which was easy to do, because I was already a Mac geek who loved throwing events, and now I got paid for it. Back when I was a Rep, Apple was trying to generate some new ideas for projects. Thing that we could do on campus to get students excited about Apple. We all had Macs, we all could borrow Guitar Hero rigs, and that got me thinking. So I spent the better part of a month trying to figure out how to make my Guitar Hero guitar work as a MIDI controller, just like a MIDI keyboard or something else. The idea was that anyone can play a Guitar Hero guitar (thats the point of Guitar Hero), and if anyone can play it, and you could set the buttons to play certain notes in a key, literally anyone can play a (simple) set of chords and solos! I pitched this to Apple, but the folks running the ACR program really didnt get it, and they didnt do anything with it, even though Id already created a package, tutorial, setup, etc. The other day someone randomly emailed my old student account asking if Id ever gotten it working. The entire project had literally escaped my memory, but thankfully, not YouTube! So if youre bored, and you want to screw around with something kinda fun this weekend, heres the YouTube tutorial I made a few years ago: Youll need a Mac, a USB Guitar Hero controller, GamePad Companion, and the XBox 360 Controller Driver to make this work. If you install GPC and X360C, just install them. GPC will be added as a preference pane, and you should be able to follow my instructions from there. Enjoy!
