Mixxx DJ Hardware Guide updated; contribute a mapping for your controller!

I have worked hard the last couple days updating the Mixxx DJ Hardware Guide with lists of controllers and sound cards. It lists whether controllers have mappings for Mixxx and technical specifications for sound cards, both stand alone sound cards and those integrated into controllers. It also lists prices and brief descriptions of controllers so it can be used as a shopping guide. Linux compatibility for sound cards is noted too.

Mixxx is cross-platform DJ free (as in artistic freedom and price) software for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows developed by an international community of volunteers. We can only make mappings for hardware that we have. As you can see, most of the mappings for Mixxx are for controllers that have been discontinued. You can help us fix that by contributing a mapping for your controller.

We are getting ready for a big release of version 1.12 after more than two years of development. Among many improvements and new features, the GUI mapping interface is now easier to use than ever. If you want to make a mapping, get Mixxx 1.12 beta and try it out. For jog wheels and advanced functions, you can write JavaScript to make your controller do just about anything with Mixxx such as turning a 2 deck controller into a 4 deck controller. See the wiki for more details on how to make mappings. Post your mapping on the Mixxx forum and/or make a pull request on GitHub and your mapping could be included in the next Mixxx release. :slight_smile:

Nice one - we look forwards to contribute with MFT and MF3D mappings :slight_smile:

Will check 1.12 for sure!

Huh? What happened to the initial post?

Must be some glitch. I approved it again.

I have also reorganized the MIDI Scripting wiki page and added more examples with lots of comments to make it more accessible to people new to programming. You can use JavaScript to make your controller manipulate anything in Mixxx. You can even turn a 2 deck controller into a 4 deck controller!

It would be cool to have a mapping for the MIDI Fighter 3D. There is one for the original MIDI Fighter but not the 3D, Twister, or Spectra.

It might have been because I edited the first post.
