Wow, excellent work!

I have been testing it during 3 hours without any problem with Traktor 3.3.2. This program has a lot of potential and I suggest to all win users that try it. I'm going to write an article for our news section in the kontrol dj website with more info about it.

[asfx]

It's great, thank you   

I forgot to add that this program is free to use and source files will be available as a free license.

For new functions, I think adding support for the four deck. And perhaps support for OSC


OSC is a new communication protocol. It is more powerful than the MIDI. And traktor supports OSC
more information here: http://opensoundcontrol.org/introduction-osc

[dros]

Sounds promising.

Should we expect a Mac OS X version to arrive in the near future? Even a command line version with a config file to set would be just fine for me.

[asfx]

This software uses the "FrameWork.NET 2.0" (Microsoft). With the MONO project, it must be possible to make it work under other operating system such as Linux or MacOS.
MONO: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

I can modify the program and test it with Linux, but not MacOS. I do not yet have a Mac 

For now, I try to remove all the problems and add some functions (Best soft takover, 4 Decks, Load / Save the configuration, auto-connect on startup).
And after I will seek a solution for all OS (Win / Linux / Mac OS X)

[L.S.D]

Working a little bit with the advanced options I have noticed that if you change the range of a slider (...for example the crossfader from 0 to 64) when you move again the slider you get a crash.

[asfx]

Yes, I confirm
This problem has been corrected, but now the options are not yet fully usable. 

I think to download the next version (V0.2) this weekend. I have reviewed the source code to make the application more stable. I also added some functions ...

Here is an extract from changelog

Excellent program!

You talk about Beat Monitor, is it what I think it is? 

[asfx]

The new version is here!
KontrolDJ.NET V0.2

I deleted several bugs and added some functions.

If you want new features, leave a message here!

[L.S.D]

Hi,

  Thanks for the new release, good work. I'm right now at holidays, when I come back I will test it in deep.

[Asca]

Sounds really nice! Unfortunately I can't have a go at it, since i'm on a mac as well... I wish I could help in the conversion, but my skills in that direction are very limited
Hope that it will see the light some day, anyways...

[bvial]

Great! Will use the new version live in my show on Brap FM tonight! 
Thanks!

[asfx]

For information: Traktor 3.4 is available in final version. And it is now possible to discover all the functions of KontrolDJ.NET, such as "Beat Monitor"

KontrolDJ.NET V0.2 works great with Traktor 3.4!

@bvial: Do you see now what is it the "Beat Monitor"?
