Hear hear.
I would expect that replicating this interface in Mixxx even when using PC keyboard or MIDI keyboard as a controller would greatly enhance pickupability for people who have a passing familiarity with industry standard gear (Pioneer). I'm all for innovation and improved UIs, but I agree, it needs to be configurable, and using a standard hardware UI as a default is a great idea. cheeers mixxxers Rua HM. ----- Original Message ---- From: Ben Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Albert Santoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 19 February, 2008 6:16:59 AM Subject: Re: [Mixxx-devel] Interface issues, revisited On Sun, Feb 17, 2008 at 10:04:42PM -0500, Albert Santoni wrote: > I'll agree with Robin here that it is awkward when I want to > "goto-and-stop".

When stopped, pressing CUE sets the cue point. When playing, pressing CUE jumps to the cue point and stops there. *Holding down* CUE plays from the cue point for as long as it's held, then when released it jumps straight back to cue point and stops there. This behaviour might not be ideal when using the GUI, but it definitely feels like the right way for a controller.
