Open source contribution: DDJ‑FLX10 mapping for Mixxx

Beyond choosing Mixxx (free software), ZiM participates in the ecosystem: when he switched from the DDJ‑FLX4 controller to the DDJ‑FLX10, he found that there was no ready-to-use mapping for using this controller with Mixxx. So he started adapting a DDJ‑1000 mapping to create a first working version that provided access to the essential controls (faders, buttons, encoders, etc.), and published it so that other DJs could use it.

This mapping, programmed in xml and javascript, is deliberately designed as an evolving base: the DDJ-FLX10 offers many possibilities, and ZiM invites the community to test it, provide feedback and contribute to gradually transforming this duo (DDJ-FLX10 + Mixxx) into a ‘magic duo’. The code and files are shared on GitHub, allowing users to track improvements, suggest corrections and distribute successive versions.
