S5/S8 needs Spectrum waveform colors on display

Why only ultraviolet, which is not as useful. The screen is capable of showing RGB.

 

Yea this makes no sense to me and is quite a jip, I love the S8 but its implementation and their followup with features seems lacking!

Big +1

 

I agree this is a massive flaw in the S8. UV is unhelpful and is basically just a dodgy port over from the Traktor phone app.

Slack.

 

+1 from me!

 

RGB PLEASE! One of the first things I tried to edit blue is naff!

 

Definitely a hack and not a spectrum view, but still better than blue (red bass, green mids, blue highs). Also replaced time with bar counter. Will write a blog post with how-to

 

hey how did you do this? and work this on the s8? Please send me the How-To for this "Hack"

 

Yes, it looks like S5 and S8 use the same stuff for driving displays.

 

Can you send me a tutorial for this “hack“?

 

Will post it here by next weekend (I hope)…

 

News?!

 

Did some more hacking today and wrote (very) short instructions: http://bit.ly/20ZrT99

 

Wow that's awesome, instantly makes the waveform a hundred times easier to see.

Thanks so much for finding this and writing a tutorial!

 

thank you!!! your mod runs without any problems on my s8!

 

Hi Guys,

I want to use the hack tutorial, but i didn't understand very well. can someone send a more user-friendly step-by-step tutorial of how can we change the waveform color ?

I'm stuck inside the colors.qml file. Im sure its not only to paste the all under text inside of it.

Hi! Can you upload your original colors.qml ? I will modify it for you...

 

The red lines items are coding that should be removed and the green should be put in its place. Carefully read the link he posted on how to read the files and it will all make sense.

 

Hi. Thanks it would be awesome!!

here is my colors.qml file:

Thanks a lot mate !!!

Cheers
