Macros

Macro Format

This is the format specification for Mixxx Macros, a feature that allows the recording and reproduction of jumps and particular control changes.

See Mixxx Macros for more infos as long as this is a WIP project.

Needed parts

• send info on cue jumps (but not on scrubbing)
• database table to store Macros
• recording buttons (deck-independent)
• macro list for each deck with name, loop option, enable option
