You can use a Makey Makey to control the miniMAD.
The available controls on the miniMAD are available on the miniMAD user-guide (Yourspace), although the miniMAD doesn't yet support the control mapping assigned in MadMapper.
Thanks for your reply! I was planning to use the control mapping but I guess I have to find another solution for that . It didn't work when I tried but I was avoiding the miniMad's default video playback controls for the keyboard so there would be no conflicts. So I try those and see if it works then.
