Hello mates!
I just got a Nanokontrol2 last week and, since the current mappings do
not match the way I play, I decided to write my own. And, ok, I hate XML
and Javascript, and in my previous experience, writing Mixxx scripts is
tedious, and error-prone. So I decided to write my own framework for
writing mappings in CoffeeScript: no XML, no Javascript.
With the MixCo project I try to solve these problems, providing (still
under development) these features:
- Your script file is a single CoffeeScript file
- The same file can be executed to generate the XML mapping and
converted to JavaScript to be used as the script.
- Generates direct-mappings to controls whenever possible, but this is
transparent to the script writer.
- Most of the API is very declarative.
The current state of the project can be followed here:
https://gitorious.org/mixco
Note that it is very inmature yet, but I wanted to announce this early
so you guys can give feedback soonish. Do you like the approach? What
features would you like it to have?
I am building the framework incrementally so far using my Nanokontrol2
mapping as driving force. Future features include declarative ways of
specifying modes, and so on. After this, I plan to also rewrite my
M-Audio Xponent mapping using the framework, with hoping to solve the
several bugs it now has and update it to better use Mixxx 1.11 features.
I might also write mappings for Ableton Push, which can be an
interesting project, but lets not talk too much about that now...
Ok, I will shut up now and come back when the project is more mature.
Just to show what this is about, I put at the end of the email the
current very basic Nanokontrol2 mapping.
Cheers!
