Hi!

I'm neck deep in coursework at the moment and don't have time for an in-depth answer, but yes that should be entirely possible.

I'd suggest you have a look at the ProMidi library at:

http://texone.org/promidi/

What you're going to have to do is capture and interpret the MIDI inputs provided by your controller, then use that data to alter the properties you want to change. For example, a rotary pot on your controller will produce a certain MIDI control code plus some value(s) between 0 and 127. These could be used, for example, to create positional data for graphics, or to alter performance variables.

Or you could check out themidibus

What you want would look something like this:

Code:

import themidibus.*;

MidiBus mybus;

void setup() {
  size(500,500);
  background(0);

  MidiBus.list();
  mybus = new MidiBus(this, "IncommingDevice", "OutgoingDevice");
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  int channel = 0;
  int number = 0;
  int value = mouseX;
  mybus.sendControllerChange(channel, number, value);
}
