Kontrol DJ 500 under MIXXX sofware (windows XP version)

[kdjdem]

Great ! I'll try that this week, after work.

Then I'll come back to you for the complex operations (shift and select buttons for secondary or even 3rd functionality, endless rotary push knobs for track selection, button lights)....and finally...perhaps I will be able to use MIXXX


thanks !

All of that is not difficult conceptually and the SCS.3d script does all of it, though that script does so much that it can be a bit hard to follow. The Hercules scripts are easier to look at.

Track selection is easy: just add another 'if' clause to that .jog1 function that checks to see if you're in "track select" mode (use a global array variable probably called KontrolDJ500.JogMode for that) and if so, use the [Playlist] SelectNextTrack and SelectPrevTrack MixxxControls. (Setting either to 1 moves the highlight.) Then you just need a button mapped to another script function that changes the .JogMode variable.

Shifts are also easy: have the shift button set a global flag variable on a NoteOn event and clear it on a NoteOff. Then in the functions that do the actual work, just check that flag to decide what to do.

On the KDJ, the track selection is made by 2 special rotary knobs (endless course) that you can "click" on it. You turn the knob to select the track line in the list, then push/click the knob to select the track and "send" it to the virtual turntable (you have 1 knob for left turntable and 1 knob for right turntable).

Shifts are also easy: have the shift button set a global flag variable on a NoteOn event and clear it on a NoteOff. Then in the functions that do the actual work, just check that flag to decide what to do.

Believe me : not so easy But I 'll try and post my progress (or lack of progress...) here next week.

Hi,


Tonight I wanted to try that new thing, so I relaunched MIXXX...and discovered that the program quit after he starts

So I tried to uninstall it (and erased the drawer of it), and reinstall the last version : same problem. THe program starts, loads my music and then quit...

Try deleting/renaming your config file and/or library: http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/troubles ... brary_file
mixxx.cfg is the config file, found in the same place.

Hi,


THank you for the help. I tried your tips, and it "almost" worked

I erased the files you said, then relaunched MIXXX. BUT, when mixxx asks me to select my playlist directory, if I select my real music directory (named "techno" on a second harddrive partition), MIXXX crashs during the automatic tracks searching. If I select another drawer, MIXXX works.

My music is mainly composed of MP3 and OGG tracks.

I'll make further tests tonight, to see if it's a problem of directory or whatever.
