feature request: more/custom pitch slider range

[ghost]

Feature Description

Hi

The pitch slider ranges are now fixed and can only be chosen from a given list:

• It would be useful to add more ranges between 24% and 90% because there are no intermediate choices there. The steps go up big: 24 - 50 - 90

• maybe custom % choice can be added too: in this way we can choose the exact %

• adding 100% value too (or maybe even more like 150%). Sometimes for chiptune music, high speed values are needed because there can be a big speed difference between tracks.

The chipmunk issue is covered by https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1767.

Here we "only" need to descried where the ultra slider should go to. I think a reasonable way forward would be to implement a "transport effect" an effect that can be controlled from the effect region in your controller and remote controls the EngineBuffer, the mixer pitch and key control, but with a wider range.

Would that work for you?

For the additional range values, you may edit the mixxx.cfg file directly. That is the "RateRangePercent" value.

Once you are confident your setting is good for you and probably other users you may issue a pull request to add it here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/3db5755418a51b709da73bd5a1c07c8fa1da97b6/src/preferences/dialog/dlgprefdeck.cpp#L244 This should be possible with only a minimal programming knowledge.

I'm not a programmer so I can't say anything about this :) (I don't know anything about code)

Can you tell me where mixxx.cfg is on Windows? I can try this maybe. I don't find it in the folder where mixxx is installed

That does not work unfortunately.

• When setting RateRangePercent to a chosen value nothing happens in Mixxx (when Mixxx is running).

• If I restart Mixxx (with a saved mixxx.cfg file with changed "RateRangePercent" value), the file mixxx.cfg is overwritten immediately with the selected rate range in Mixxx preferences even if you don't change the value in preferences.

So I'm still interested in new rate ranges added in Mixxx! :-)

I need to have a look why the custom range is not kept. Which value you need btw?

[ronso0]

If the config range value exceeds the max value (90%) the default is used (8%). If we increase the max value to 100% or higher the sliders will allow -100% (stop) and below (playing backwards), but that's currently also possible by setting rate, rate_ratio or bpm to negative values in controller scripts.

It would be nice to add the following in bold text:

4% - 6% - 8% - 10% - 16% - 24% - 50% - 75% - 90% - 100%
