Hi Albert Thank you for detailed answer. I think I'd go with improving the Mk2 support at first. I've managed to compile 1.7 version from the bzr repository and played around with my console. The support isn't as smooth as in Virtual DJ. Basically I miss the smooth scratching capability of the VDJ, effects/cue/looping controls(I've read that looping isn't finished yet and will be one of the "feature of interest" for the 1.8), and smart use of joystick for fast track navigation/insertion. If someone could explain me where to start hacking(scripting?) I would be very grateful.
