Hey guys,

Over the past few days I've been playing with "peer control" in Jeskola
Buzz (music production software). It's this neat thing that allows you
to map a bunch of parameters from effects, synths, etc. onto a single
control (like a MIDI knob). I didn't really understand why this would be
useful until I started playing around with it. To demonstrate simple
usage of it, I whipped up two demos:

http://downloads.mixxx.org/beats/Peer%20Control%20Demo%201.ogg

http://downloads.mixxx.org/beats/Peer%20Control%20Demo%202.ogg

In the first demo, I've chained the note length, a wet level of a delay,
and a highpass filter's cutoff frequency together, and I'm varying them
together using peer control during the breakdown sweep.

In the second demo, I've chained just the delay wet level and the
highpass filter together, again during a quick breakdown.

I'm posting these to mixxx-devel because I think it'd be neat if we
could implement this sort of thing in Mixxx somewhere down the road.
Being able to chain LADSPA effects together could lead to some pretty
crazy stuff, and I think people would dig the simplicity. Remember, I
did those funky breakdown sweeps by turning a single knob. :)

Anyways, my other random idea is that it might be useful for new DJs if
we bundled some ~2 minute long "training" tracks that can help people
learn to beatmix. If we had some YouTube tutorials showing how to use
them, it might be a hit. What are people's thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Albert
