Numark Mixtrack

[matteo]

Yes, I've also made a few changes to the mapping I've submitted. I'll finish to polish a few things and submit a new version along with a wiki page.

I'm running mac osx and I can't find the folder to add new scripts, can anyone help me?

The MIDI mapping files are located in the following paths:

Windows: C:\Program Files\Mixxx\midi
Linux: /usr/share/mixxx/midi (or /usr/local/share/mixxx/midi)
OS X: /Applications/Mixxx.app/Contents/Resources/midi

http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/midi_controller_mapping_file_format

For OSX select Mixxx.app in Finder ->Right click-> Show Package Contents

isn't the numark mixtrack almost teh samen as teh ion discover dj (pro) ?
Just with more butons.

Maybe it's easier to combien the development of both controlers, instead of having to invent the wheel 2 times.

Would this be mostly the same as the Mixtrack Pro/can someone help out with that if there isn't one already made?

Hi Matteo,

I've just added your mappings to the Mixxx 1.8 branch. They will be in Mixxx 1.8.2 (coming out soon) and Mixxx 1.9.0. Just update this thread if you update the mappings and I'll see it and update Mixxx as well.

Thanks,
RJ

I just tried the mapping in 1.9 with my mixtrack. It seems way, way off and I'm not sure if these are bugs or just problems with matteo's mapping.

1.) For scratching the platter response is all wrong:
A)When you hold down the platter the track continues playing after there's no active movement. (It should pause as long as you're touching the platter.)
B)The acceleration and sensitivity don't seem to match the platter size.
C)The scratch/back cue sounds artifical...very grainy with audible digital artifacts...almost like a bad key lock is engaged.
D)The cut on the crossfader isn't sharp enough. It should be an immediate on/off click.
E)You should be able to nudge (by touching the outside ring) and scratch (by touching the top of the platter) at the same time...but you can't.

2.)It also seems that the effect knobs and loop buttons don't seem to match up as well. That should be an easy fix in the prefs though.

Hey coolout,

Thanks for the feedback. As for the crossfader, you can adjust the curves in the Mixxx preferences. No idea about the rest since I don't own a Mixtrack.

Hi Matt,

I have been adapting the script for the Mixtrack mapping you created and had a question. I've been trying to reverse the selectKnob so clockwise equals down in the list and counter-clockwise is up in the list and can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Every change I make pretty much switches the knob to a page down or up capability. I have also tried editing the midi xml and adding an <invert/> into the options area for the control but this basically negates the script function altogether. I have some scripting knowledge but this one has me kind of stumped...any suggestions?

Thanks
