RockBandDrums to MIDI (using Python)

For Art|Everywhere one of the projects for the event was 6 sets of Rock Band video game drums hooked through a laptop computer to a MIDI controlled Yamaha synth module/drum machine (RM1X.)

The python script that allows rock band drums to drive midi devices is online at:

See the wiki page for the project at:

The script is easily modified to relay any sort of USB game controller through to midi, and should be useful to run RockBand guitars and other controllers.
