Any further advice on gametrak hacks?  I found this DIY.

 Does it have to be a specific version of the gametrak?  (i.e., gametrak for x-box, gametrak for pc, etc.)
thanks,

I think that mod will work with "nearly any" GameTrak you can get your hands on, but I won't promise it.  All I know is that I bought a Game Trak for $10 on Amazon, made the mod, and it worked on the first try.

FWIW, the source code I just pushed to github has a bunch of GameTrak specific code, including a "raw MIDI to event" driver, a sensible filter (so your code doesn't get flooded with spurious updates), and a "pluck detector" (you can pluck on the monofilament to generate an event).  Relevant files are "game_trak_*" in
