S8/S5 Display Mods

Tommyjarvis I filed a bug about it during the 2.11.1 beta, but I never got a response. There is no documented way to get the assigned color, although you could probably use Sydes' code to parse it from the collection.nml file.

 

Hey guys,
you're doing a great job! Thank you for sharing those awesome Mods with us.

I've got a little (hopefully) easy to solve question: is it possible to set the move of a loop to 1 bar permanently, like on the X1 for example?
I tried to find the setting in the codes, but damn... those are complex to a beginner like me.

Thank you so much

 

Quick question:

I have just bought Mixed in Key and the Traktor Cue and Key (TCK) tool.
My tracks are key analyzed and the Camelot keys also have a 0 in front of values lower than 10 (which MiK does not create so far, thus using TCK).

Is there a way to have the D2 sort by key text instead of key?
Or is it possible to overwrite the key field with key text in Traktor?

Thanks!

Thank you!

A combination of your link, this topic: https://www.native-instruments.com/...lumns-in-the-browser-screens-possible.229115/ , the Traktor Cue and Key(TCK) tool and some manual tag editing in Traktor (for the keys that Traktor got wrong) helped my achieve it.
I'm glad I've had nothing else to do today

hello, is there a new version 2.11.13 17?
unfortunately the filter knob in the new version does not work anymore!
and why are the beats not sync in the S8 display vs. Mac?
Great job, thanks

hello guys, there is a recent version for the s8 2.11.13 17, thanks.

 

If you want to fix the channel filters yourself, you can download CSI/S5/Channel.qml and CSI/S8/Channel.qml and save them to those paths.

 

Those are the finished files. If you don't know how to download a file from the internet and save it in a folder, I can't help you.

 

Super thank you. I think I have to change something. I did it
Is it necessary to exchange this file with every update of traktor?
thanks for the file.

 

Hi,
I made an update of my mod based on Snydes Display mod. Mainly a slight rearangement for better visibilty. Also now the remaining time to the next cuepoint or whatever is displayed and the box dispaying the actual key flashes if it differs from the original key of the track (so you do not accidently play a track at a strange key involuntarly).

 

I fixed a bug in my mod. Previously the (elapsed/remaining to cue point/total remain) time was not adapted to the actual tempo. Instead, the original tempo of the track was used and the time did deviate from the real time. Now it is fixed.
PS: I had a look in the original code (unmodded version), to me it appears as if this bug is also present in that version. However I am now to tired to check.

 

anyone know how to take all the QML stuff and create a new QT app or widget that can display windows
like Traktor does (with our own custom Mods) and even feed it our own data? (from a XML)

or are there any QT widgets that can grab the rendered windows from Traktor live?

 

Whilst trying to finish/debug something on the mods I've been working on I was thinking along the same lines, and installed the Qt development environment in the hope I could use it to debug from, but didn't get very far due to issues importing a "CSI 1.0" which is included in many/all QML files. My best guess is that library is the "glue" NI wrote (in C++ I'm guessing) to achieve some of the integration with Traktor. I suspect full exposure to that would explain a few mysteries I've found had we full access to the libraries. As it is I've dug into the Traktor executable and discovered a few things not obvious from the QML files we've learnt from. Being able to render things on a larger screen such as an iPad would be amazing.

I intend to look again at using Qt Creator - my failure was due to time and technical knowledge constraints - a lot of this has been trial and error so far.

 

Hi Everyone, lately I've been working on this Mod, which i call the Supreme MOD. I would like to thanks ErikMinekus & Sydes for their big efforts and their first research, and specially ErikMinekus, the Prime Mod developper, which has inspired me for this mod (as you can probably appreciate).
So here is the current status of my mod:

#Displays

# Track Deck Header MOD

• Sync & Master indicator (Sync MOD)
• Snap & Quantize indicators
• Displays BPM & Tempo
• Tempo Range Colour Indicator MOD
  • Green - Current Master BPM ±2%
  • Orange - Current Master BPM ±5%
  • Red - Out of Range
• Displays Camelot Key
• KeyLock indicator
• Displays Remaining Time
• Displays Beats & Bars

# Spectrum Wave Colour (PERSONALIZABLE - See instructions)

• Traktor Colours
• ErikMinekus Prime Mod Colours
• Sydes Nexus Mod Colours

# Minute Markers
# Improved FX Select
# FX3 & FX4 Overlays are always large
# More beats are visible when on a nearer zoom
# Amplified the Zoom Out Range
# BPM Overlay MOD

• Now it indicates what BPM are you modifying (better to try and see than to explain)
• Indicates you whether if you are modifying the masterclock bpm, the master bpm, the synched bpm or the bpm of the focused deck

# Key Overlay MOD

• KeyLock is more visual

# Browser MOD

• Track Name & Artist Display
• Letter on Deck in which a song is Loaded in top of the Cover Art (if a track is loaded in 2 decks, images of the Deck letter overlay… to be solved in the future)

  • Green - ±5 BPM
    
  • Orange - ± 10 BPM
  • Grey Out of Range
• KEY range colour indicator (if NOT sorted by key)
  • Green - ±1 Same Letter or ±0 A/B
    
  • Orange - ±2 Same Letter
  • Grey - Out of Range
  • Known Bug: if when you open Traktor it was already sorted by Key you wpn’t see the Key colors until you sort by another sorting option and you get back to sorting by Key
  • Known Bug: if you Load a song which isn’t analysed, the Browser “””freezes””” à it doesn’t update anymore Key range colour indicator until you restart Traktor
  • It’s the legacy key… to fix for the display key…

#Mapping

# Independent Screen Browsers (Partially Implemented)
# Reduced Disappearance Time for Overlays
# BPM MOD

• Fine/Coarse BPM adjust switched for individual decks & Master
• You can adjust individual deck BPM without needing to open the BPM Overlay (You have to deactivate on Traktor PRO 2 settings of the S8/S5/D2 the option of opening Browser when touching the Browser knob)
• If there are NO Overlays - Hold Back - Tempo Reset (Partially implemented, you have to maintain it, not just push it)

And here below i list some of the future plans that i already have in my mind... i don't know which of them will i be able to implement, specially the ones related to the LED's because i've not been able to find yet which is the code that i should modify nor which archive should i modify. Any ideas or suggestions are accepted and i will try to satisfy them as i can. I'm not an expert nor an informatic but as a hobby i really like Djing and I'm also quite good at programming.

#Displays

Crazy helpful in my workflow and performance..
Where can I donate to show appreciation?
Cheers

 

Wow. That latest one looks super duper clean. Makes me miss my D2's

 

https://www.paypal.me/ErikMinekus should work. Thanks!

 

Hi, see this thread hasn't died in the mean while ... Nice to see so many people still active. Erik, could you update me a bit on the current status the modding is at? thx
