Pretty awesome stuff… will have to check it out. I use my own self-written software, but Mixxx was where I started my journey and it will always have a special place in my heart.

Liking the added Denon HS5500 support :wink: Does Mixxx support the rotating platter via midi?

4

Oh, yeah, good point! The NS7 is listed too… would be very interested to see code that supports those spinning platters.

5

Now now, no code stealing :joy:

6

hahahahahahah. Considering my software is private for me only, and I don’t actually own an NS7, it is purely a matter of curiosity.

7

Are moving platters using seperate HID controls when in motion? I never had the chance to sit down and try to work with one with midi. I always imagined it was just a jogwheel with a motor attached to it.

8

Like music, the only way to steal code is to not share it. :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Is it turning the jogs? It looks like it is, although some constants are not in that file… might have to do a checkout on that. Thanks!

Just a small bump for this thread. I’ll test the software with my setup and post my impressions in a matter of few days. Post your experience :wink:

I’ve had a pretty good experience with Mixxx 2, just playing around with extra midi controllers. Pretty awesome functionality, stable, key analysis and 4 deck support. I’d like to be able to save FX chains (and see some more FX), but I can’t really complain since it’s free and all.
