Waveform out of Traktor

[Yul]

For what?? touchOSC will not do any of the things mrdorianjames was asking for!!

I understand what you mean here but actually your statement is false, touch osc can receive and display messages/info from your host, in midi it can of course only display incoming midi messages (like a cc value) but in osc (I think) it can display any info received so probably not the waveform (as it doesn't have a proper 'object' to host/receive that) but most track info sure it can/could if one finds a way to get that info from traktor.

but most track info sure it can/could if one finds a way to get that info from traktor.

that's why I was hoping the cdj HID might send that info to be intercepted some how.

Lemur could also be used as far of my understanding goes.

[mrdorianjames]

I'm not sure I understand what lemur is TBH. I thought it was just a multi-touch screen/controller that used OSC. Am I wrong in assuming that?

yeah sorry I wasn't clear, yes Lemur is like touch osc on steroids , way far advanced. I meant it can display incoming messages like touch osc.

Sorry, I specifically meant displaying the waveform via TouchOSC. I agree that there is probably a way to get the track info etc. out via midi (As this is already possible, I have a tsi that outputs track name etc. to my SC2900's), but I have no idea how it works.

VLC should be what you are looking for, but with a ton, really a ton of work.
VLC can stream a stream of your desktop, even just a rectangle of it. You would then need to set up another computer with a program that takes the stream and divides the big rectangle with the two waveforms and part of the mixer into two video streams of just the waveforms themselves.
Then you could output those to whatever you wanted.
Of course, the latency with this method would be simply enormous, far too big to do anything practical with it but some visualizations.

Reverse engineering proprietary HID protocols is going to be hard, if not impossible. Only "easy" way would be for you to contact a software engineer at either NI or Pioneer, and try to get some info on how the actual raw data is transferred.

Third option: Output the audio to a second computer, and use some waveform monitoring software to get the actual waveform image. Fullscreen that, and mirror the image to whatever you need to mirror it to.

I use splashtop to send my traktor screen to my ipad. I then just zoom into the browser for track selection. I use DVS so dont need to see anything else.

No reason you couldnt do the same and just zoom into the waveform section.

I really wish NI would open up the protocols. I would love a remote browser app.

Browser info would be awesome.
