This patch (buzz_360) has issues, but it shows how to use and calibrate a Guitar Hero guitar controller in Max/MSP.
Use /guitarhero/buzz_360_tz3 version
There’s no way to make this work clean for a demo without taking apart the whole button driver patch (buzz_setup_360) and it has some serious max6 compatibility issues. So it just needs to be calibrated everytime for now.
Use the GRY mode for a demo…
Before using patch, restart Max.
Works in Max6 – need to calibrate first, don’t worry about tilt and whammy for this app but you need to calibrate them first anyway by pressing the X toggle, tilt, then unpress, or it wont work. when you calibrate the buttons, the X toggle should disappear. then save and untoggle the config box.
To set a mode,

update 6/2014: This patch seems to be broken. Christopher Konopka is actively working on setting up a process to 3d print OpenGL objects – based on the work described below. Stay tuned…

Btw., this google search finds some very cool projects: max/msp jitter “3d printer”
open GL 3d printing in windows…
Jitter tutorial 27 explains how to bang at the beginning of each phasor~ ramp. The result looks amazing if you increase horizontal scan rate to something like 22 hz.
