Syphus mate you are the MAN. I actually have a nanokontrol 2 which has maybe a dozen or so extra buttons, I am playing with a few different mappings. Im currently having a great deal of fun working on my set for Sunday and learning CCDJ at the same time!
Im also making mental notes of all kinds of interesting things people could do to make MODs for live use...
I would also like mod links!
I think we will need to make a fair bit of noise about this new update. If you want any help writing documentation or anything let me know.
I must admit, I don't feel bad missing the mu3 functionality, it was like some obscure Monkey Island puzzle!
Getting down to some serious practice now.
Tempo reset - I just had a look at v0.2 and I can't see one there, but I think I had a key/CC for it. There'll still be a key/CC for it, but it might change... Was there really a GUI button for that? Did I add it for a build I sent you and then take it out, or something? It's possible...
Sorry I think you are right, that was a Midi CC, I was waiting for you to finished tweaking everything before re mapping my controller.
How many songs do you think you'll want loaded for your forthcoming set, anyway? Knowing that will help me decide whether to prioritise fixing the scrolling stuff ahead of other things.
I was thinking around 15, 20 at the maximum.
So is it usable for you yet? I'll still fix the keys/MIDI tonight and tomorrow, but I want to be sure you'll be able to use it for your set even if something goes wrong on my end
Oh it is totally useable, more so than I thought. After I finish my DJ set I am going to start writing XMs specifically to be used in cddj and will show you the results. It will probably take a while but I think there is huge potential for really exiting live manipulation with content that I am really well acquainted with.
I do keep having minor thoughts, I really like the colored bars, they make beat matching a lot easier, also volume matching is easier. I was wondering if an "unmute all" might be useful?
bug no.1 - I don't think "save m3u" is working, clicking it doesn't seem to do anything. Load works just fine though.
Akira you should post some of your favorites.
Got it, works absolutely perfectly. The only comments I would have are fairly minor layout / gui things. You could for example move the PLAY/MUTE/Q/LOOP buttons so they are vertical on either side of the playlist, then move the fader/playlist up a little, it might make things a bit neater and give users a few extra songs on the playlist without scrolling. Using a > meaning "tempo to deck on right" and < meaning "tempo to deck on left" might be a little clearer than "!" perhaps?
Oh, quick thought, did we loose the "tempo reset" or "return to original tempo" button somewhere?
But seriously this looks slick as hell, the GUI looked good anyway but it looks SO clean now. It really is an awesome job.
Yup, thanks for the reply btw but this is one of the posts i got confused with, as it says
"› 3 - Chipmusic for Classic consoles on Classic consoles
› 4 - Chipmusic for classic computers on a classic computer"I don`t want to make it for a console, i want to make it in general so i could put it on video sharing sites etc,and it doesn`t really explain how to get started. And i also thought you do chipmusic on a normal modern computer.
Well, your own post would seem to indicate link 3 and link 4 are not relevant for you so don't read them. Avoid the confusion.
Try clicking this
"‹ 1 - Chipmusic on a Modern PC"
I just edited that to make things EVEN clearer.
Have you tried reading this?

Should answer most of your questions
You were also talking about instant pattern-restart - can you clarify that a bit for me please? The crude spacebar sync thing effectively does that right now, but I guess it's not doing what you need... Is it just that you want to be able to restart the pattern in Deck A without restarting the pattern in Deck B? Let me know and I'll work something out.
Oh spacebar does exactly what it needs to do, it is super handy, I think the discreet restarts would be handy too. and I did mean exactly this.
"Is it just that you want to be able to restart the pattern in Deck A without restarting the pattern in Deck B"
I think that would be another handy tool.
By the way, the bpm-match/master-slave thing is coming, don't worry
Awesome news, a couple of other ideas, would it be possible to have Continue/Row on keys/CC rather than dropdown? might be a little more flexible. Lastly, did I miss it somewhere or it pitch not mapped to a CC? Tempo and fine Tempo are I think.
Now I promise, I will not bug you for anything else, other than bugfixes!
This is kick ASS! I have found a tiny bug which is on deck B Alt plus Q - I will also mute the channel while "slicing". Shift plus 1-8 on deck A doesn't seem to do this.
I only had a 3 or 4 minute session , just out the door to work. Will give more in depth feedback tonight!
Aight, Lazerbeat, it's done! Shift + 1-8, q-i, a-k, z-, for Deck A; Alt + the same for Deck B.
You sir are a hero! Can't wait to try it.
Do you think it's worth my while adding another dropdown so you can choose resolution? For example, with a resolution of 4, a 32-pattern module would be mapped across keys '1, 2, 3, 4' so that each trigger had an increment of 8 patterns. Make sense? More to the point, would it be useful?
Would a resolution of 4 add any functionality different to 1/q/a/z on the default setting?
I owuld get a small mackie 1202 VLZ or 802 VLZ and keep it for life.
I found some of the larger MODs like the turrican intro took a few seconds to load which would lock up the GUI for 10 seconds but anything loading from the HD was instant. I am running on a fairly beastly modern desk top at the moment but I am going to be playing live on a core2duo Thinkpad X60.
Great info, Any chance we could link specific tunes rather than archive sites with composers names? If someone is looking through this thread wanting to get a general taste of some awesome mods, 85 tunes from one artist might be a little unwieldy.
What are you running on? Also do you mean the MODs load kinda slow?
Oh so THAT is was the midi shift key was for I didn't realize, I had no idea the cross platformness would be such a pain. Lets see how Left shift works and I will be happy to try anything in Linux for testing purposes.
