How to do this:

There are several ways to read out a wii. There’s something called darwiin, which can send data in Opens Sound Control format. There must be similar things for windows and linux.

This OSC data can then be understood by supercollider, maxmsp and pd and so forth.
Build your fx in one of those, or cook the data and send it as midi to the effect that you like.

Mine is done in MSP, most of it by manipulating one tap-in tap-out delayline.

This one is tested on animals:

It pitches down rather than up, and controls wah, distortion, etc.

Sounds like Joe Satrioni (SP?)
The wiimote has come so far since it was released. Nice job.

Creative. I think the guitar might need an accelerometer to enhance guitar playing.

That’s a lot cheaper than a Koss touchpad, too…
