S4MK3 & S3: Community Performance MOD (qml coding)

pixel · March 1

@ tomy_nick: Have a look at the colors.qml of the S4. Maybe you can experiment a little with the file. But it won't work the way you have in mind.
But the way the file looks, there are ways to change the colors. (waveformColorsMap: low1, low2, mid1, mid2, high1, high2)

You can define exactly 6 colours (RGB+Alpha) for three frequency bands. Try the one i showed on a picture on page 1 (should be number 21). This is as close as it gets.

This photo is not as good as the actual screen. The mid and high frequencies are too bright on this picture.

@Sûlherokhh: I have a problem with the S3Mod together with the X1Mod.
when I have disabled the stem-reset on the S3Mod, the stem-reset is still performed by the X1, which is normal when both devices are connected.
Can you please give me a hint if I can prevent this with a tsi

I use the following switches to activate/deactivate the S3 stems-reset

S3.qml:

  MappingPropertyDescriptor { id: stemsReset1; path: "mapping.settings.Stems_Reset_1"; type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Boolean; value: false; }
  MappingPropertyDescriptor { id: stemsReset2; path: "mapping.settings.Stems_Reset_2"; type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Boolean; value: false; }
  MappingPropertyDescriptor { id: stemsReset3; path: "mapping.settings.Stems_Reset_3"; type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Boolean; value: false; }
  MappingPropertyDescriptor { id: stemsReset4; path: "mapping.settings.Stems_Reset_4"; type: MappingPropertyDescriptor.Boolean; value: false; }

Which device should reset what and when?

please watch the video the X1MOD triggers an unwanted stem reset🙂

Well. I put in a parameter reset when loading a track. So this is on purpose.

X1MK3Deck.qml, lines 466 pp

  onValueChanged: {
    …
    loadResetTimer.restart()
  }

      stemVolumeProp_2.value = 1.0
      stemVolumeProp_3.value = 1.0

I will do the same with the x1 as with the s3.
so that you can also deactivate the reset on the x1

S3:

AppProperty { id: deckLoadedSignal; path: "app.traktor.decks." + deckIdx + ".is_loaded_signal";

onValueChanged: {

 var stemsReset = false;
		
 if (deckIdx == 1 && stemsReset1.value) stemsReset = true;
 if (deckIdx == 2 && stemsReset2.value) stemsReset = true;
 if (deckIdx == 3 && stemsReset3.value) stemsReset = true;
 if (deckIdx == 4 && stemsReset4.value) stemsReset = true;
		
 if (value && stemsReset) {

   stemMuted_1.value = false;
   stemVolume_1.value = 1.0;
   stemFilterOn_1.value = false;
   stemFilter_1.value = 0.5;
   stemFxSendOn_1.value = true;
   stemFxSend_1.value = 1.0;
   stemVolumeFilterProp_1.value = stemFilter_1.value;

   stemMuted_2.value = false;
   stemVolume_2.value = 1.0;
   stemFilterOn_2.value = false;
   stemFilter_2.value = 0.5;
   stemFxSendOn_2.value = true;
   stemFxSend_2.value = 1.0;
   stemVolumeFilterProp_2.value = stemFilter_2.value;

   stemMuted_3.value = false;
   stemVolume_3.value = 1.0;
   stemFilterOn_3.value = false;
   stemFilter_3.value = 0.5;
   stemFxSendOn_3.value = true;
   stemFxSend_3.value = 1.0;
   stemVolumeFilterProp_3.value = stemFilter_3.value;

   stemMuted_4.value = false;
   stemVolume_4.value = 1.0;
   stemFilterOn_4.value = false;
   stemFilter_4.value = 0.5;
   stemFxSendOn_4.value = true;
   stemFxSend_4.value = 1.0;
   stemVolumeFilterProp_4.value = stemFilter_4.value;

  }
	  
 }

Nice. Good for you. :)

pixel · March 2

I have corrected the above code again.😆

pixel · March 2

now I am satisfied, the buttons flash when stem-reset is deactivated.
I have changed the code again🤣

EDIT: i changed the selection button again, i like it better with the cue button, now it's really finished.

tonight i will upload the s3mod here, unfortunately i didn't feel like doing it yesterday😆

Sûlherokhh · March 3

Update:

Soft takeover for FX controls (done).
Stem overlay toggle for FX section (wip).
Remix overlay toggle for FX section (wip).
Remix capture trigger and source selection (wip).

Hopefully i'll have some beta for you to test in a bit.

pixel · March 3

i'm really looking forward to seeing how you design the remix deck controll.🤗

I still have to update the readme.txt of the S3.😝

when i get over myself i will edit this post🤣
