python script to do some midi translations on a XONE K2 controller to make rekordbox understand it better (workaround for RB's limited midi mapping features).
- Launch te.py
- Launce xone.py
- Launch rekordbox
- Open MIDI mapping panel
- Select "PIONEER DDJ-SX" virtual device
- Delete all existing mappings (might not be needed?)
- Import "PIONEER DDJ-SX.csv"
- When two options A/B given, B is the shift feature.
- Except for the Hotcue / beatjump section -- those are toggled with the toggle button.
- Shift + hotcue == delete hotcue
- When in "PartISO" mode, the EQ knobs change to track separation ("Part Isolation") mode, controlling inst/vocal/drums instead of hi/mid/low. Note that there is no soft takeover, so if you don't reset the knobs to center before switching modes, you may get some unexpected jumps in values.

- Combine te.py and xone.py into a single file -- the reason for both, is that if xone.py crashes (ie if the XONE:K2 disconnects), te.py stays running, and te.py is what talks to rekordbox. RB does not like it if a midi controller disappears mid-set, so this lets RB keep running in case of fault. But we could combine them, perhaps having te.py auto-launch xone.py, and restart it if it fails
- Implement soft-takeover for eq vs track sep knobs
- Add some fun animations when the controller is idle (like the built-in startup animation, but continuous)
- Add a fx type selector (re-use one of the redundant browse knobs?)
