Re: [Mixxx-devel] Pioneer DDJ-SB mapping
Hi, I made some improvements: - Jog wheels now work as intended, including touch sensitive scratching. - FX knobs now work, I emulated soft takeover in JavaScript as a workaround. It's not nice, but it works. - Cleaned up the code. https://github.com/jardiacaj/mixxx I think that solves all the major issues, I intend to make some smaller improvements over the next week. 2015-07-24 1:36 GMT+02:00 Be : > You can simplify your BindControlConnections function.

[Mixxx-devel] Pioneer DDJ-SB mapping
Hello, I just pushed the current state of my work on the Pioneer DDJ-SB mapping to my fork in github: https://github.com/jardiacaj/mixxx/commit/9f479f3e7d31b9faec755153cfe7a2f5f3f5de03 Please note this is unfinished work in a "works for me" state, I would like to continue working on it. I mostly tried to reproduce the way the controller is intended to work when using Serato. Some things that bother me: - Code quality (I'm not proud of it). - Jog wheels, especially scratch mode is missing. - Soft takeover is not working for the effects knobs. - Most knobs send two MIDI messages when their position changes, but I'm currently using just the most significant one, losing precision. - And some other smaller issues. I'll be glad if someone can take a look at the mapping and maybe even try it out if you have access to a DDJ-SB. Comments and criticism are more than welcome. If someone is able to give me a hint, I'll explain the problem with the effects knobs: soft takeover is not working or not working properly for those. The controls look like this: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D1gvHsyoSBQ/maxresdefault.jpg In Serato, pressing one of the FX buttons lights it up. If the knob is then turned, it changes the "main parameter" for that effect, allowing to control three effects at once if all three FX buttons are lit. I took a different approach: turning the knob changes the mix parameter of the effect. But if the knob is turned while one of the buttons is kept pressed, it changes one of the parameters of that effect, allowing control of up to three parameters this way. Yet, even though I'm activating soft takeover for those controls (see the function PioneerDDJSB.setFXSoftTakeover), sudden changes on those controls happen. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Mapping effect parameters
Thank you Daniel, that does exaclty what I need :) Now I just have to polish some details and the mapping will be done. 2015-07-03 7:15 GMT+02:00, Daniel Schürmann : > Hi Joan, > > I have just updated: > http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/effects_framework > > The _value and _value_normalized COs were removed during development > because they were > redundant.

[Mixxx-devel] Mapping effect parameters
Hi, I'm trying to map the effects buttons and knobs on the Pioneer DDJ-SB controller and I have the problem that when values are set with engine.setValue() for the effects parameters, these are not normalized, making each parameter behave differently. I read in the documentation that there should be a parameterK_value_normalized control, but I have not been able to find out how to use it in the javascript file (if it's implemented at all). I am using the latest git master. Can someone give me a hint? -- Don't Limit Your Business. Reach for the Cloud.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Pioneer DDJ-SB mapping
Yes! It works flawlessly on my box (Arch Linux). I will change it in the wiki. I had a difficult time setting it up, until I found out I needed to load the snd-seq-midi kernel module. I think most distros have this module loaded by default, otherwise it could help other people a lot to have this documented. 2015-06-18 20:47 GMT+02:00 Be : > Do you know if the sound card in this controller works on Linux?

Re: [Mixxx-devel] wiki overhaul
Hi! I have been lurking for some time in this mailing list, this is my first time writing so I just wanted to say: hello! I am improving the mapping for the Pioneer DDJ-SB that can be found in the forums and I wasted some time trying to find out how to map the effects until I found out how well the MIDI learning feature works :) I thought it would be nice for other contributors to have it documented in the wiki. I would do it myself if that's okay, but I don't know in what version those controls were introduced. I'm guessing 1.12.0, but can anyone confirm it? 2015-06-18 8:11 GMT+02:00 Be : > I added another example to the MIDI scripting page.
