16.5. Mixxx Controls

Nearly every knob, button, or fader you see in Mixxx’s interface is controllable via Mixxx’s «control» system. The control system allows skins, MIDI controllers, HID controllers and keyboards to control Mixxx via a single interface.

A control is identified by a «group» (which is used for grouping associated controls) and a «key» (the name of the individual control).

For example, the volume fader for Deck 1 is identified by the group [Channel1] and key volume. Similarly, the volume fader for Sampler 1 is identified by the group [Sampler1] and key volume.

The group is used to collect all the controls that affect one component of Mixxx into one collection. Some groups have a high overlap of controls in common (e.g. samplers, decks, and the preview deck all share the same control keys).

In addition to controlling Mixxx, the control system can be used to inspect Mixxx’s state. For example, the sample rate of the track loaded in Deck 1 can be accessed via the [Channel1],track_samplerate control. You can read the [Channel3],play control to determine whether Deck 3 is playing.

The default value range is 0.0 to 1.0, unless otherwise noted. Binary means that it is either “ON” (non-zero) or “OFF” (zero).

Suggerència

Discovering Controls used in Skins

You can view the control connected to any part of a skin by running Mixxx with the --developer command line option and hovering your mouse cursor over part of the skin. If no tooltip appears, enable tooltips for the Library and Skin in Options ‣ Preferences ‣ Interface.

Suggerència

Changing any control from the GUI in Developer Mode

When running Mixxx in Developer Mode (with the --developer command line option), you can view and manually set the state of any control in Mixxx by going to Developer ‣ Developer Tools.

Suggerència

Simplify mapping of more complex behaviour

While simple mappings with just a few buttons, knobs and LEDs can easily be created with the MIDI Wizard and some basic scripting, implementing more complex behaviour like switching deck layers or pad grid modes can be tedious and error-prone. For these cases you can use Mixxx” Comonents-JS library which provides building blocks for single controls as well as entire containers like decks and effect units.

ControlPotMeter controls

The following extensions add some features to ControlPotMeter controls (volume, crossfader, …). Use in conjunction with [ChannelN], [SamplerN], [Master], … groups.

Control Suffix	Description, example
`_up`	Increases the value, e.g. `[ChannelN],rate_perm_up` sets the speed one step higher (4 % default)
`_down`	Decreases the value, sets the speed one step lower (4 % default)
`_up_small`	Increases the value by smaller step, sets the speed one small step higher (1 % default)
`_down_small`	Decreases the value by smaller step, sets the speed one small step lower (1 % default)
`_set_one`	Sets the value to 1.0, sets the channel volume to full
`_set_minus_one`	Sets the value to -1.0, sets the channel volume to zero
`_set_default`	Input: sets the control to its default, return to default waveform zoom level
`_set_default`	Output: set to 1.0 if the control is at its default, light up the pitch fader center indicator
`_set_zero`	Sets the value to 0.0, put the crossfader in the middle again
`_toggle`	Sets the value to 0.0 if the value was > 0.0, and to 1.0 if the value was 0.0, will cut off/on a track while you’re playing
`_minus_toggle`	Sets the value to -1.0 if the value was > -1.0, and to 1.0 if the value was -1.0, can tilt the crossfader from left to right

These controls can be used in JavaScript files like this:

// This won't work:
engine.setValue(group, "pitch_up_small", 1.0);

// Use this instead:
script.triggerControl(group, "pitch_up_small", 50);

To use *_toggle the respective shortcut for scripts is:

script.toggleControl(group, "keylock_toggle", 100);

The `[Master]` group

None	0	Not controlled by the metaknob
Linked	1	Controlled by the metaknob as it is
Linked Left	2	Controlled by the left side of the metaknob
Linked Right	3	Controlled by the right side of the metaknob
Linked Left Right	4	Controlled by both sides of the metaknob

Link Inverse	Integer Value	Interpretation
Normal	0	Linked in equal relation
Inverse	1	Linked in an inverse relation.
