    Default Midi track string

    So how easy would it be to port the string information coming out of the denon driver into osc to send track titles to touchosc or lemur? because that would be awesome.

    I have put Arduino to one side temporarily, I have been developing with PIC and C more recently and now have a working USB MIDI core design. After manufacturing my first Arduino design (01M) I decided that I just couldn't move forward without being able to add USB to my designs. I have not abandoned Arduino, I have just developed a way to add full speed USB MIDI to any of my projects The chip I have been working with is a PIC8F4550 (same as the one on the CUI board). Although I could now theoretically add USB MIDI to Arduino with my recent project, im not sure if it is 'ethically' right to use AVR and PIC in one design!!

    So with regards to the Denon LCD MIDI project, I would hope that utilising full speed USB MIDI (no UART emulation / FTDI chip) could iron out some of the issues we were having.

    Im currently working some really exciting projects and will no doubt return to the forums in the near future when I have some new and exciting developments to discuss

    The data produced by Traktor for the Denon is all MIDI so I would have thought this would be quite straight forward given the right tools. The MIDI data could be passed out of Traktor over a 'virtual MIDI cable' to a program which could convert the data to OSC. This program would also need to be able to convert the MIDI bytes into a format which controlled a display over OSC. I have not had any time to experiment with Max for Live yet, but I think this program is the kind of thing you would need to use to achieve this.

    Can Traktor output deck playing/deck not playing info? I'm building my own MIDI controller and I've got LED indicator on the play button so if I could somehow get info about when the track stopped playing I would turn that LED off.

    Sorry for bumping btw.

    Yeh, add out > deck common > play/pause.

    huge bump here

    Is there any clear guide/tutorial/easy way to actually do that ?
    via the HC4500 or via Autohotkey or via anything else ? Also saw in another thread the same question raised (http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=17719)

So far, I've got a Windows exe that acts sits between Traktor and your controller and reads the artist/track name (endlessly! see the 'bugs' above). This information could easily be written to a text file. Can I ask what you intend to do with this text afterwards? It might help me to customise the script to better suit you.

    Two disadvantages:

    - It requires Windows (no AHK support on MacOSX)
    - It requires a virtual midi input, rather than being plug'n'play
    @MiL0 did you manage to do it finally?

    or to make it even easier, is there any way to extract just the trackname/artist name of deck A/B to a txt file ?

    thank you for ANY help !
