For an upcoming holiday with a few of my friends I needed a Midi-controllable software which allows me to play different audio-samples – some might call this a ‘soundboard’. On top of my wishlist were things like<\/p>\n
-open source<\/p>\n
-runs on Linux (Raspberry)<\/p>\n
-fully customizable<\/p>\n
Fortunately, before starting a new project myself I came across Mixxx<\/a>. It’s an open source DJ-Software with a completely customizable user-interface that also\u00a0includes a multi-cell sample-player.\u00a0Mixxx version 1.10 is readily available for various platforms (“sudo apt-gt install mixxx” on a Raspberry PI) but has been superseded by version 2.1.1 (as time of writing). There are no precompiled binaries for Mixxx 2.1 on a Raspberry PI yet so the first step was to build a version myself. The necessary steps are documented in Mixxx’s own Wiki but it’s partially outdated and not everything is located in one place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Building Mixxx 2.1 on a Raspberry PI is not that complicated but if you are like me and not knee-deep into Mixxx’s development it might be a little hard to get it all together. This is mostly copy-pasted from here<\/a> and a little bit from here:<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n First set your Raspberry’s memory split to 256MB. Then issue the following commands:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Version 2.1:<\/p>\n Or when pulling from the master branch:<\/p>\n Now wait for ~1.5 hours . If everything went fine you are granted with a shiny new version of a Mixxx executable in your ~\/mixxx – folder.
