DJ feature / UI for ROCKBOX - Discussion
rockerboxer:
OK, it's been a while we've been talking about this. I haven't used rockbox for a while, and development has continued.. I'm still quite interested in seeing the dj functionality of rockbox improved.
So, let's imagine a minum scenario: the DAP is used as a single deck, for example just as a supplement to a pair of turntables/CDJs or whatever.
When going to the "pitch" menu, we have the following options at hand:
Pitch adjust - via scroll wheel (ipod etc.) or buttons
Pitch bend - temporary pitch change via buttons
(the other options, toggle semitone mode and reset pitch don't are not of interest here)
With these two things we already have the basic operations for beatmatching a track ready. What is missing is quick access to cueing the track. In order to restart the track from the beginning, or restart from reapeatA-B marker (abusing it as a cue point..) one would have to exit the menu and go back to the WPS. Which is not quite intuitive.
For a first try, we can set the A-marker in normal WPS. Then, in the "pitch" screen, we can hijack an unwanted button and let it change playback to the A-marker. Thus, we'd have pitch, pitch bend and jump-to-cue in one menu.
I'm just browsing through the code, hope I can do it..at least in a quick and dirty way.

I have a Sansa Fuze V2 and a retired Ipod Nano V2. I have always wished there was a demo/plugin that could scratch the music. I do realise that many players do not have the feature of a scroll wheel, but it would be fun to scratch using a wheel with compadible devices. I mean, rockboy does not have the most ideal button scheme to work with either, but i occationally use it and have alot of fun.

The MP3 decoder uses both cores though.
