Hi all,
any ideas to control Mixxx dj software from a Pure Data patch?
...essentially having control of the Mixxx buttons and above all this: being able to control the scratch from Pure Data by moving a slider.

Thank you,
a.

it says it uses midi so check the midi help files on pd
you need to get the controller #s you can look at them as you hit buttons, their numbers show up in pd.

Thanks, using [noteout] in Pd and "Learning Wizard" in Mixxx, Mixxx buttons are easily controlled from Pd. It works well.

I just need to figure out how to control the "scratch" with a slider in Pd, I don't think there is any associated control. If anyone has any ideas...

@atux You probably need to map a slider in Pd to the scratch control in Mixxx.
Mixxx will auto map if you install some DJ surface, but it seems that it can "learn" from received midi....

So if you have a slider sending to [midiout] on a channel then probably "vinyl control" could learn the parameter.

In Pd: I put a vertical slider connected to [midiout] object.

In learning mode ("vinyl control"), moving the slider in Pd, Mixxx says:

Didn't get any midi messages. Please try again.

@atux Sorry, it's probably a [ctrlout] message needed, but I cannot be sure.......
This video probably helps .....

As it is xml and javascript based then if the Mixxx wizard doesn't help then it will be harder.
You might need to be sending relative position info...... there is some help in this forum for that but searching on the net "pdpatchrepo whatIAmLookingFor" is the easy way to find stuff on this forum.
