Programming XIT

[JJ4SDR]

I realize that I could always use VFOB on split rather than XIT, but if the off-set is just a few kHz I prefer using XIT. Now, I programmed both a cross-fader on my Hercules Compact DJController Starlight and one of the Volume pots for a look-see to see which one works better, but I only get an off-set of a little over +/- 1kHz. How could I increase the off-set without having to resort to using VFOB?

sliders/knobs etc are 7 bit messages in thetis, so we only get to use values 0-127 from them. After a quick look at the code that raw value is multiplied by 20, so we end up with 20Hz granularity, and a range of +-1260Hz or some such. If we want more range for xit/rit then we would end up with more of a Hz step per slider/knob change.

Hi Richie!

OK on the granularity. So, I guess I will just need to, either not use the DJController and tweak the off-set using the mouse or use VFOB instead (could use the controller in that case). I was hoping that the controller would give me a much faster way to change the off-set in the XIT when working a DX pile-up.

Cheers!
