Here's how to play a game controller as a MIDI device in PadForge. You're hearing a generated voice.

This MIDI controller came from Add Controller's music note, with a DualSense assigned. Open it.

The bar at the top sets the channel, how many sliders and notes it sends, where they start, and how hard each note plays.

The sticks and triggers send Control Change messages. These bars move as the pad's sticks do.

The buttons play notes, starting at middle C.

In your music app, pick PadForge's MIDI port as an input. The port needs Windows MIDI Services, and its card in Settings installs it on a PC that doesn't have it. Without it, an Output Port picker sends to a port you already have.
