Mixing Capabilities

With the SUI development, will there be any way to have a mixer/DJ type skin, like Virtual DJ?In other words, have multiple instances of Xion running.

I'm sure it will be easier to simulate one, I was just wondering about the possibilities of a real one... :)

No there will still be a single instance, just the ability to skin multiple canvases.

If you're after launching multiple Xion instances for some manual mixing, you can use the secret command line option " /multiinstance "

In order to use, you add that switch to your Xion shortcut. So for example, the target field changes to:

"C:\Program Files\r2 Studios\Xion\Xion.exe" /multiinstance

This will mean that every time you launch Xion, a new instance will spawn, ignoring the existing one.

It was fun having multiple db1011s and drd17s on my desktop :D I gave each a playlist with some sound effects to play. Took me around 10 seconds to get bored with it #-o

Any other hidden commands Cliff?

That's certainly the first thing I thought of, hehe, skins fighting on the desktop.I suppose this could be extremely valuable for comparing skin ideas...

and I was happy to have found an Elise... :) I will try and make it worthy of Xion.

There are some others but they're related to registrations, installation and other things. Nothing that you can play with like this.

Step 1: install virtual machine

Step 2: install Xion in virtual machine

Step 3: enjoy listening to two Xions at once!

On a related note... when going through folders of music in Windows 7, you can preview selected songs from the Windows Media Player controls in the preview pane (Alt+P)... you can play one song in each window you have open all at the same time. It's madness I tell you!

Could multi-instance be turned into a script/plugin to make it accessible for skinning some dual decks?The end result (wishfully) would be the ability to add a button to the skin which calls the second instance.

Even if they have to be snapped together, it would be awesome to use... :)
