Hi Brian,
People put time into mixing consoles because:
A) they have one
B) there is no interface of teaching mix how to map midi signals
interactively
If you look a the time investment of cooking up an interface to do B, you'd
see that it's
- a lot of work for something people would only do once per piece of
hardware
- it's not that hard to config the midi via XML
- the devs have things they consider to be higher priority (fixing crash
bugs, making the code more portable, add features like vinyl scratch
support, etc).
I don't by any means want to discouraging anyone from picking up the banner
and creating a midi learning interface for Mixxx, it could be quite cool to
have... just tryin' to shed some light as to why no one is probably doing
it yet... :D
Cheers,
-G
