Hi,

is there a way to use a wiimote (as a midi controller) to "conduct" music played back by Sibelius - making tempo and dynamic changes when moving the wiimote?

The wiimote can be used as a midi controller (using Windows) via GlovePie, Midi-OX and Midi-Yoke.

A very interresting video about something like that can be found here:

Hi,

What I've tried so far is to use the Wiimote for tap tempo imput (midi clock) in Sibelius, but so far it doesn't work accurate enough.

Working with Ableton Live seems to be more promising at the moment, because of its midi remote features (changing tempo, volume, start/stop, jump to locator,...) - unfortunately it has no score editor.
