Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd vrijdag, 07 augustus 2009 14:43

Mixxx het vrij populaire open source stukje dj software heeft weer eens een flinke update ondergaan en luisterd inmiddels naar het versie nummer 1.7.0. Naast de nodige bugfixes is er ook het één en ander aan verbeteringen door gevoerd op het vlak van midi en tijdcode vinyl support. Al met al genoeg verbeteringen om de boel te installeren en het eens te proberen, het is tenslotte gratis en helemaal voor niets.

Mixxx 1.7.0 released
The result of countless contributions from developers all over the globe, Mixxx 1.7.0 features an overhauled MIDI mapping system with advanced scripting capabilities, improvements to vinyl control, and many other tweaks and optimizations.

Our brand new MIDI scripting engine allows both users and developers to easily add complex behaviour to their MIDI devices. Whether you're looking to get more out of your existing controller or want to take full advantage of cutting edge hardware, our 1.7.0 release won't disappoint you. If you'd like more information on MIDI scripting, please see our documentation.

Since Mixxx 1.6.1 was released, the following changes have been made:

Improved MIDI device support:

• MIDI learning wizard
• MIDI mapping editor
• Upgraded, faster mapping system
• MIDI output now fully supported on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
• QtScript/JavaScript-based MIDI Scripting Environment - Script complex behaviour for your MIDI controller!
• Added full support for the Stanton SCS.3d and SCS.1m on all platforms.
• Hercules MK2 and RMX improvements
• Added Mixman DM2 mappings for Linux and OS X.

Vinyl Control:

• Scratching responsiveness improved, with needle-skip prevention option added.
• Signal quality indicators added to vinyl control preferences.
• Improved support for soundcards with multiple stereo inputs

Convenience features:

• The default skin is now widescreen, and fits nicely on netbook sized screens.
• Stereo master VU meter added.
• Cue points are now saved in the library for each track, with "auto-recall" cue option added to preferences.
• Support for more platforms: 64-Bit Windows and a Universal OS X package for 10.4+!
• Over 100 bug fixes and more!

With the release of 1.7.0, we've also transitioned to a more flexible development process. Because of this increased flexibility, we're already hard at work on Mixxx 1.8.0, which will feature looping and an overhauled library. With the release of 1.7.0, we're now able to spend less time incorporating support for new MIDI controllers, and more time working on the features you want the most.
