I have something similar in the works, but I'm going the GUI route: https://github.com/robmorgan/halo

Regardless, you might be able to use my timestretch library: https://github.com/robmorgan/timestretch-rs - it's still very early, but it's working for alot of my use cases, and it's pure Rust.

I'm a DJ/TUI nerd and as much as I want to like this, I don't think the keyboard will ever be the right input or mode for DJing. Maybe my mental model is an outlier, but multi-point physical controls are critical for so much of what's happening while DJing — the master level controls, effects, cueing, individual track controls, and even just being able to physically manipulate playing tracks. It just doesn't map to a…

Get something like the M-brio midi CC controller and have it output keyboard keys into the terminal.

I guess this is a boring and predictable thing to say, but I miss seeing a project like this and being excited about it. Instead I looked at the codebase, see that it seems LLM-generated and assume it hasn't had much thought or care put into it, so I'm not really motivated to even try it out. Sorry. :-/

Perhaps one needs to go a level up: if making the program is now semi-trivial, it remains to be proven if using the program to actually perform is. If I have a Star Trek replicator that can reproduce a perfect Stradivarius for me, is it any less impressive when I play a beautiful song on it? If we want to get excited about a mixing board... we probably need to see someone using it in ways that traditional mixers don'…

exactly this. Id think the main thing for this would be to get midi controllers working. its a digital tool for digital djs. looks a bit niche ofc if you look at 'the market' etc. but as OP said for newer thigs like algorave and just for fun it looks pretty cool :D.

id love this workin on a phone with a little usb-c midi controller attached!
