Built a full-featured Windows companion app with RGB effects, macros & audio-reactive lighting — interested in collaborating #159

Description

Hey @omriharel! 👋

I'm a huge fan of deej and the whole DIY mixer concept. I've been building Amp Up — a Windows companion app originally made for the Turn Up mixer (which uses the same CH343 serial protocol). It's grown into something pretty feature-rich and I think parts of it could benefit the deej community.

What Amp Up does today:
🎛️ Mixer — per-app volume, response curves (linear/log/exponential), volume range clamping, live VU meters, monitor brightness via DDC/CI

🎮 Buttons — 18 action types across 3 gestures per button (tap/double/hold) — media controls, mute toggles, app launcher, audio device switching, keyboard macros, system power, profile switching

🌈 19 LED effects — solid, blend, gradient, fire, comet, sparkle, breathing, candle, ping pong, wave, and more. Plus 4 global-spanning effects that treat all LEDs as one continuous strip (scanner, meteor rain, color wave, segments)

🎵 Audio-reactive RGB — 3 modes: beat pulse, spectrum bands, and color shift driven by real-time FFT analysis

🎨 Full theme engine — glassmorphism dark UI with customizable accent colors, OSD overlay, profile system with colored icons

📦 One-click installer with auto-update, auto COM port detection, and start-with-Windows

Why I'm reaching out:
The serial protocol parsing and hardware abstraction in Amp Up could potentially be adapted to work with deej builds. I'd love to explore:

Compatibility — making Amp Up work with standard deej Arduino builds (the serial frame format is similar)
RGB support — if deej hardware adds LEDs, Amp Up's effects engine is ready to go
Collaboration — contributing features back to deej or building a bridge between the projects
Happy to demo anything or chat more about it. The full source is at github.com/audioslayer/ampup and there's an installer on the releases page.
