S4MK3 & S3: Performance MOD (qml coding)

This evening will be special :D

update: 7

I have now done it so that FXSelect 3 & 4 only light up if 4 FX Units are set in the software.🙂

Edit: Now it works stable, please use update 7, all bugs are fixed in my opinion, I now need a few days for another project that I'm still helping with. Then I take a break and read through the forum so I can understand Traktor better🙂

My better half is already showing me a bird here

I have also implemented the suggestion:

• when you are in rec mode, the (on button) lights up red when loop is active.
• If you switch between single and group mode or change the select fields while a loop is active, it will stop automatically

If you don't understand, please watch the video

please also use v12, this is the last version for now, I haven't found any more bugs, For now it will have to be enough

@Sûlherokhh How do you install the mods? I tried replacing the original files with the files in the package, but Traktor crashed after that, so I had to revert back from the backup. And what happens to the mod files when the software is updated?

Sami de Sousa

going to chime in on installing the mod. make sure you make a back up and all you have to do is make a copy of the qml folder that contains what you need. i use to have a mac that would ask you if you would like to replace new or old files ( i think it was in the settings). my new mac doesn't so this is what i do. open the qml folder and you will see 3 folders, csi, defines, and screens. when you download the zip file it will have folders with files. go to your qml and find the folders you received. move the new files into your folder and it will replace them automatically. you have to open the folder and grab the new files and drop them into the section they belong that's it. one folder at a time manually. it works for me and i don't have any issues. i use a mac.

almost forgot! for goodness sake! buy that man a coffee!

"Big thanks goes to Sûlherokhh,

(If you think the mod is great, please send him a coffee)"

Please create a backup of the original files

I did this quickly so you can adjust the FX color scheme more quickly.

You can now easily set this in the FourChannelFXSelector.qml file, line 13, without having to search through the entire file

// FX Mod Color Scheme

readonly property variant fxColorScheme: [

  Color.Blue,         // Single

  Color.Cyan,         // Single2Color

  Color.DarkOrange,   // Group

  Color.White,        // Group2Color

  Color.Green,        // Play

  Color.Red           // Rec

]

I also deleted a few pointless lines of code and a few pointless queries

Personally it was all too blue for me, I would rather do other colors, but as a standard it's fine.
