Was it HID-level protocol or raw USB like WireShark, i.e. would it cover all controllers incl. multitouch? I don't have much USB experience other than interfacing between a wireless RumblePad and VideoLan which I reverse-engineered from eyeballing hexdump (real science). > > Did you have plans to require less attention from the user?

Ok let me expand on what I mean by "has access to hardware". I'm thinking mostly of expensive club gear with little/no dual-use for audio production; it's bolted in some DJ cabin and unlikely to be found in a recording studio. The club owner/manager certainly won't give a crap about Mixxx but maybe a kinder soul walking through does... an opening DJ, barman, janitor, maybe a big-name DJ friend you can ask for a few non-disruptive minutes. Don't know how realistic that scenario is in general but in my case getting access to a pair of CDJ-1000s when they just came out in order to test my software was all but impossible, asking a club owner for a favour would have nuked my already dubious "hotshot DJ" facade. Mixxx adoption & hardware support seems a catch-22; minimizing physical device access time could help. Or maybe it's too convoluted, dunno. cheers, -- p ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
