Can you use a Guitar Hero controller to make songs?

I was wondering this because I don't have a converter to play guitar on my computer.
And I thought a GH Controller would make a good synthisizer.

I guess someone could interface it if they knew how it all worked but as far as native support, I doubt it.

For all the messing around, you can pick up a usb guitar adapter (Stealth Plug, M-Audio Fast Track) for peanuts to connect your real guitar anyway.

I fail to see how it would be of any use at all even if you could get it to control some event within the software.

Yup,
There won't be much Use, unless you just want to play a pentatonic in a single octave or something on similar sorts (i tihink GH controller has only 5 buttons)

if you wanna try that though, just use a ps2 to usb port so you can connect to puter and then use any joy2midi converter software. that would do it.

I myself use a cheap chinese joypad ($5) , fitted into a box with larger switices to act a midi footswitch for pc applications. 16 switches without even using axes more than enugh.

Though bear in mind that RW has not midi input as yet.
