    Hello :)
    I found couple of typos in my previous version of Moonbeams mod v2, which caused wrong display of some adjacent keys - fixed in this version (matching keys were correct).
    - Also I added new setting in ModPrefs.qml - you can set there, which deck couple will be comparing for key match (i found handy to have the sign of match "●" or sign of adjacent "○" on each display (this is handy, if you have some custom mapping to operate key knob/buttons in steps and youll see the adj sign if you are close to match). I could not figure it out, how this can be tied to "what decks are on displays actually" instead of fixed value from prefs... :( .
    - For S5 - I added functionality of "long deck push" to bring MixerFx pads even in LiveDeck mode (this has to be tested, because i have no S5)

    update: "compare deck key" to "masterdeck key" added, configurable in defines/ModPrefs.qml. See picture, master deck key sign = "m", if other deck is keymatched "●".

    awesome work a5tr0. really appreciate your edits on top of Nick Moon's legendary work. wish i could assist more in this dev process but i use so sporadically these days and often with a 2.5 year old complicating things.

    Nick Moon, whats the podcast you do?

    Hello :) if there is someone, who has S5 and has installed the mod from my previous post (TP_3.3.0_QML_Moonbeams-mods-v2-beta_mod_by_a5tr0_v3.zip), please give me a feedback, whether there is no problem. Especially, if you holding right/left [DECK] button brings you Mixer Fx on the pads. Thank you very much! :)

    Nick Moon a5tr0 Guys, thanks for your great work again. Thanks to Nick Moon starting this.

    I use this very helpful mods on my D2 standalone setup a long time for now, and also implemented some small customizations.

    Nick already mentioned to bring the code to GitHub. I would love to see this happen and could also help with that, so that we maybe implement sort of "branching concept" to help others that may want to contribute and also help users to find the latest release without searching around in different forum posts.

    I don't want to just push the version I have, since this is the work you created.

    If you are interested just reach out to me, would love to help!

    Nick Moon a5tr0 congratulations for your work! I just made an account to tell you how I like the mods!
    I've downloaded your mods yesterday so I'm pretty new to it... Is there a way to access to the loop recorder in the mods? Because that's one thing that I miss on the s8

    Hi Julien, it is not (it was not modded I think). Btw, maybe Nick will say little more about it, so be patient :)

    But I think it can be accesed standard way according manual of S8. You have to set one of the decks to "remix mode", and via holding [capture] and turning [loop encoder] you will select the source: Deck A, C, B, D, Loop recorder. And then, in remix mode you will hit desired [pad] to catch the desired sound. Be aware that there is no way to "empty" the pad/slot, it can be owerwritten only via [capture]+[pad].

    I would like to point to the strange thing about loop recorder - selection of source (not the source i mentioned above, but source of LR itself): MAIN, CUE, EXT or AUX is not possible to map to keyboard or controller (only via mouse and the setting will reset to MAIN after restarting traktor). There is no such a thing to map in the Controll manager, so maybe it is not possible to mod... I posted bug report about it here: https://www.native-instruments.com/...eature-loop-recorder-source-selection.373195/ :( (i needed to change default MAIN to CUE on the fly while changing deck to live mode and capture some sound from microphone and play with them in remix deck - i managed to create some script to change it for me at startup of traktor, but Loop recorder was too complicated to use, so I rejected that thought)

    btw: all the mod credits goes to Nick Moon :) I made only tiny modifications and when I saw, that Nick is hugely busy, I posted my version and just waiting for his reaction / or maybe incorporation of something from it to his upcomming version :)

    Hi LoopGti, I can't speak for Nick, so we have to be patient :) Maybe you could describe what you have done for your D2, if you want :)

    And as I mentioned in previous post to Julien, all the credits goes to Nick :)

    Hello :) I wanted to see some basic "bpm similar/matching" in the browser mode, so... "●" - will emerge if there is 0%-4% difference compared to master tempo, and "○" will emerge in interval 4%-8%. If difference is larger, it will display nothing " ". But if you want to change it, it can be done in ".../qml/Defines/ModPrefs.qml" @ line #373 & #374 as follows in note in that file;
    // to disable it just change both of numbers to 0
    property int bpmPercent1: 4 //default 4 (0%-4% difference max.)
    property int bpmPercent2: 8 //default 8 (4%-8% difference max.)

    This is great work indeed. When I return to CMDR, I could add this feature to it.
    No Base64 encoding this time.

    Thank you for the feedback - I'd looked at your work some months ago with admiration and respect! I've not seen any sign of an update to macOS's XtremeMapping for a while and may take a look at where things stand with Mono & Wine for your app, though won't hold my breath as FakinTheFunk uses Wine and ceased to work for me on macOS Catalina which mandates 64 bit code.

    Not quite sure where the last 6 months went... But regarding the S5... I made a decision a long time ago to drop support for it. My (VERY out of date) user guide was quite explicit about that :)

    Loop Recorder is definitely something I was thinking of doing. Maybe that is the mod that will get me back into doing things again :)

    Thanks for the feedback. Indeed FtF is a great program, and this catalina change is not a good sign. So it would be a best no rush basis of course.
