I do not know why, but @Vivaldi on my tablet always leaves space at the bottom, even in fullscreen. This does not happen on my phone, with an older version of Android! Anyway, this is part of a VJ tool I made as a prototype.

Testing a VERY simple idea of beat matched visuals, influenced by MIDI, like notes and CC.

Reactive Visuals... like TouchDesigner, but from HTML5 (WebGL and/or Canvas2D)

Got bidirectional updates working, so Regroove Meister requests a DECK STATE with SysEx and #mixxx provides this, so the web UI can be updated to reflect the correct state. And the Web UI can also have an input device to control the faders, but can be […]

Works!

Progress! This is the emulation code... And on the device it is now garbled, but almost working. Must be the order.

The fire controller arrived much quicker than expected.

... at the same time my emulation works

Are there people who really believe this? That is not a scratch, but chalk or some other stuff they remov with the pentomake it look "like polymers fuse with the paint instantly" or whatever crap they said. Scams...

It seems #mixxx has very limited conditional logic when dealing with variables/toggles in the UI/skin. It is quite hard to get exclusions to work, especially when you are actually in need of a tri-state

I have a 4 decks option, but not the way I wanted it […]

Quite satisfied with my minimal skin for @mixxx . For advanced function you can use a controller otr Regroove Meister which has a DJ Decks scene for this.

... touch and interaction friendly 😄

Got the first version working of a custom minimal skin for #mixxx and my web-based control interface; Regrooved and Regroove Meister.

I am not satisfied with the faders I made for Mixxx, but it got close... and took a LOT of effort. More than I hoped was necessary.

$100+ shittiness. Guess Android doesn't have Ed not like SanDisk, as these all got corrupted whike copying on Android. They are now 'read-only'. Files aren't persisted anymore. Checking on Windows fails, checking on Linux returns clean. When I put files on […]

Experimenting with the slicing tool to produce SFZ (rex-like) files. Already works, just need a nicer UI that feels like a 'tracker' 😄

This does not look impressive... but I just got onset and pitch detection working.

What you see if the waveform for the Prodigy - Omen - Musicbox (xylophone) segment.

While Samplecrate is not the end goal, it does have an integrated sequencer (tracker view), and this can be remotely fed with a pattern from Meister (webmidi).
November 14, 2025 at 12:42 PM
Made a piano component for Meister: this plays notes to the assigned device. Which on Android already can be an application like SynprezFM. Will use this to send sample triggers to samplecrate, and to feed a possible sequencer. Still experimenting! Never […]

Got all effect parameters in the web UI; observable and controllable!
November 9, 2025 at 11:47 AM
Meister can perform almost all functions the normal interface also does; except for channel playback indication (when notes/samples are played).

Working well; WebMIDI is really great!!!

Next step is to really build on Android, and headless on RasPi
