In a recent pull request ( https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1244 )
I modified the SyncButton object in the Components controller mapping
library to behave like the sync buttons in skins. Short presses only use
the beatsync Control for one-time sync and long presses use sync_enabled
for master sync. Previously I had it so it just used sync_enabled like a
normal toggle button. The more I use the new way that mimics the skins,
the less I like it. I always want to use master sync when I press the
button, but sometimes I forget to hold down the button. That is not
something I want to have to think about while mixing. Forgetting to hold
down the button has messed up some mixes because I expected decks to
stay synced as I changed the tempo of one of them, but only one of them
changed tempo.
Is there a use case for using master sync sometimes but not all the
time? Perhaps it would be better to make a new preference option that
determines whether the sync button is a toggle button for master sync or
a push button for the old one-time sync. What do you think?
