QML to MIDI out?

Hi there
Its quite impressive what you guys did by editing QML files.
I wonder if you see a way to use QML to output MIDI messages to a BOME virtual device?
https://github.com/jarnoh/qmlmidi/blob/master/README.md

Idea:
In my DDJ-1000 BOME mapping I'm currently getting the elapsed time by interpreting the obsolete DN-HC4500 info that is sent when you add this TSI to traktor.
However this method works only for 2 decks and misses other useful info that could be displayed.
On the other hand the QML have all these info with perfect fidelity.

HC4500 idea: https://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=28523
HC45000 midi codes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/S...ing/master/readme-img/denon_midi_commands.jpg

This is how the XDJ-1000 QML is implemented in traktor:

thanks...

 

Another idea would be to make a fake driver emulating the S5/S8 or XDJ-1000.
Only the deck setup handshake would be required. Hopefully at that time it would start outputing information

the real deck would be controlled by MIDI as normal.

 

I tried, but Traktor just crashes when I import a custom QML plugin. It seems that Traktor still needs to be compiled with a "qmldir" file for each plugin, so that it knows where the plugin is located.

The only way I've been able get information out of Traktor via QML is by doing HTTP requests to a Node.js server, but it was kind of unreliable, so I gave up on it. HTTP is also not great for real-time information.

 

QML to MIDI is one of the things I've been planning to attempt for a long time... My use case was being able to implement a track search system on a D2/S8 that would in turn access the standard Traktor MIDI search function which NI never implemented in the Traktor -> Kontrol API.

My initial research concluded would be tricky for the reasons already found. I have another approach in mind that I'll report back on if/when I get to do some R&D. This approach would initially be for macOS version only.

 

dj_estrela in case it's useful to you, I've publicized the QML for HTTP requests here: https://github.com/ErikMinekus/traktor-api-client

It's much more reliable now. Basically you need a webserver that listens to those endpoints and parses the request body as JSON.

QML to MIDI was something I really wanted.

Because I'm doing a million tricks to get 14 bit OUT messages:

Currently we have QML to an HTTP server:

The is a midi plugin for node.js. Next step is then adding that to the mix

Then BOME can receive this in a indendent device, and do its magic.
