SuperCollider's communication is built on OSC, I'm not sure how Overtone
interacts with OSC but I'm guessing you should be able to get Wiimotes
talking to SC via OSC using Overtone as the interface? (Someone please fill
in the huge gaps in knowledge here).

Hi James,<br>
It would be great to have game controller support for manipulating synths a=
nd other stuff in Overtone. If you get something put together let us know, =
and feel free to ask here if you run into problems. I did experiment with J=
Input in the past to hookup with a playstation rock band drum kit, and it w=
orked fine. Unfortunately I can&#39;t find that code right now, but I&#39;l=
l look around.<br>
