Hi. I just bought a MIDI drum set for use with GHWT. (It for my son's birthday, 12/24, and Christmas. He's wanted a drum set for a long time, and I thought an electronic drum set that could also be used with the XBox 360 would be a better, more fun way to play.)
Anyway, I've been looking around on how to set up a MIDI (anything) to use with an XBox 360. I need to understand how this is supposed to work, rather than creating some sort of hardware. (I can do that after I understand the flow.)
I realize now that I need an extra piece of hardware (and software), but how does it work? Right now, I just need a high-level explanation of how the controller fits in with the XIM (XIM2, what's the difference--sorry), how the laptop fits in (other than programming the MIDI to the controller buttons), and finally, how it connects to the XBox 360 (USB, I hope.)
The MIDI drums have a firewire out. I have not opened anything yet, for fear of my son finding something.
I will continue reading, but if someone can offer any tidbits to me, that would great.
37 days and counting....
Thanks, Steve
