Key sync button

[Daniel Schürmann]

A Key sync button could be useful. This should work like the sync button, but syncing to the other decks key.
This is desirable because a 7 bit Midi slider is not precise enough to match the other decks key by one cent

Currently the rate slider has +-10 % this means 3 cent per midi digit at the bottom end . With this slider you can change the key by one semitone.
3 cent might be close enough but the problem becomes worse, if we want to change more than one semitone

The right click of this button could be "reset to original key"

Cool, I missed that, maybe because it is not listed at http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/mixxxcontrols

Nice.

How does this work in a 4-deck setup? Does it sync to the key of the current master?
Also, pressing the sync_key syncs to exactly the same key?

Unless BPM syncing, syncing keys to the exact value is often not desirable.
Rather, it would be desirable to synchronize to the nearest compatible key.

Adding the Co to the skins is easy.

How would this work out in the real world, can someone please comment on #4?

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Currently it syncs to the same key, in full halftone steps (which is IMHO a bug that I am going to fix)

And yes, we should change it to the nearest compatible key.
Will file a bug.

Key match button was already available in Shade & Deere skin as of 2.0.0. Marking fixed.
