New device.

[JSMain]

Does anyone here have a Contour USB ShuttlePro yet?

I have just recieved one!

http://www.contouravs.com/cav_shuttlepro_info.html

It is very nice, but the control is lacking compared to Girder.

I would love to see a plugin for it.

They also have a smaller version with 5 instead of 13 buttons called the Space Shuttle. :roll: http://www.contouravs.com/spaceshuttle_info.html

They have offered me access to their SDK, but I have yet to create a dll, so creating a plugin is still a few miles down the road.

Can the powermate plugin be adapted?

Anyone have the patience to step me through building one?
I am eager and willing!

spacy devices :-)

On what base is their SDK ? MFC/COM/simple C API ?

[MMcM]

The PowerMate plug-in can only serve as a template for doing a new one for this device. It will have the same basic structure: create a thread that reads button events from their device driver and converts them into Girder events. All the details will be different and depend on how their SDK is structured.

Look at this device! :o :wink:

But where will you use it for :-? ???

[JSMain]

They have offered the SDK, but I haven't seen it as yet.

I will be using this device with OtsJuke DJ. The existing software is weak in comparison to girder, as I cannot take contol of an app unless it has focus, and then I can only run one command at a time.

I can think of many uses for it. Tempo adjustment, Pitch adjustment, Track cueing forward and back, scratching, Scrolling....

What I am thinking of doing is one button will assign the jog functions to deck A Tempo or pitch, and another to deck B, and yet a third, possibly to control the scratch mixer of the software.

Contour design is very interested in this product working with Otsjuke, thus the offer of the SDK.
I personally want to see it work with girder, and then IMO there is no stoping it! :)

As a Newbie programmer, I want to do this myself obviously, but any assistance you all can offer will be greatly appriciated.

I will keep you posted on my findings.

Do you think the device could be dismounted to be modded on the computer's front bezel of a HTPC setting to control playback and volume?

If we can controll it under girder, I'm getting interested in this machine. :D

(this is an essai of answer about "where'S it to be used")

[JSMain]

If we can indeed learn events from this device, then Yes, even volume control!

As for dismantling the device, I won't go into that. You could always glue or velcro the Space shuttle to the front of your system.

Have SDK, and am trying to decifer! :D Pretty simple app. Now to dig in and get them to work together!
