Harmonic mixing helper section in library. #5655
Comments
Commented by: rryan Similar to Bug #872006. |
Commented by: norayr i second this. when you play for hours, and are not able to prepare everything in advance, or if you have to improvise because you read the audience, this is very helpful. and absence of it is literally a showstopper for using mixxx in many cases. |
Commented by: Be-ing You can already sort the Mixxx library by key. That's not exactly the same as this feature, but it is very helpful. |
Commented by: norayr thank you. |
Commented by: Be-ing You can change the key notation in the Key Detection section of the preferences if that helps you. |
an handy way to implement this could be to have a "KEY FILTER" button on each deck , close to the key section. |
So pretty much the same as just as one-button solution? |
Yes exactly. When I'm in performance, I want to use the keyboard/pad the less as possible. |
I think we can come up with something better that does not require using the mouse, keyboard or a controll button at all. How about when a track is selected, the key column of matching tracks is automatically highlighted or something like that? |
Looks like Rekordbox has such a feature: https://djmag.com/content/new-rekordbox-makes-it-even-easier-mix-key |
Sure, that would be a better solution. I think we could move step by step, i.e. first use what we already have
and then try to adopt/tweak the Rekordbox solution. IIUC that would required a KeyDelegate that's connected to PlayerManager (or some other manager) and paints the index accordingly. |

Also Traktor Pro has such a compatible key colorize feature: https://youtu.be/bKJ3j8LRtg8?t=267 |
Some food for thought.. Here's the Camelot Guide for DJs app wheel again; There's also the Dj Harmonic app which has the option of what rule to use; The Camelot Guide app rule is equivelant to the Dj Harmonic "Exclude 'cross tone transition'" but also including 4B, which is A flat, the parallel of 1A (i.e. minor to major A); (google says: No results found for "cross tone transition") I'll save posting shots of all the same for a major key.. Here are some written definitions of some varieties of change: https://github.com/regorxxx/Camelot-Wheel-Notation#harmonic-mixing FWIW, there is https://github.com/hotwatermorning/related-key-map which has an interesting visualisation of relationships, and for A flat minor it's; (Also FWIW is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_table_note_layout) Aside from the option to change the rule/scheme, the ability to set the relative colours used would be handy. If there were presets that copy the big commercial apps/systems, that would be good to help on-board users who familiar with those. Last of all; given tracks can be pitched up and down, there are extra options available, and Digital DJ Tips has a couple of PDFs that list all the relative Camelot numbers for -2, -1, +1, +2, as a wheel and as a strip. |

It would be handy if Mixxx could have a library view where all key-compatible songs with the currently playing one are listed.
That will surely help beginners as well as experienced users.
Here is a sketch:
