I think the smart hula hoop idea is great :)
Also, I've had some further thoughts about my sync idea.
What if each deck in Mixxx, as well as outputting the track audio, was also
outputting a timecode signal on another stereo pair? This could then be routed
to any other application, to be used
There are a couple of options you could try right now:
* use the javascript / midi interface in Mixxx to write a fake midi
device that can relay information from mixxx to your other software. We
don't support clock information, but you could relay midi CC or key
events. I have some boilerplate
Also, just to clarify, the idea is that the audio track and the MIDI track
would be loaded into a deck as one entity, rather than two separate decks. As
you scratch the audio, your MIDI data would be outputted in sync.

Hi Owen, thanks for your ideas!
The idea behind playing the MIDI track is not to play music, but rather to
trigger lighting rigs, real-time graphics (e.g. Quartz Composer), or anything
else that you want to sync to the track.
For example, imagine deck A has a song loaded with a typical beat
Someone recently wrote a JS library for this:

Personally, I'd love to control a smart hoop (Hyperion or Pheonix) over
Bluetooth with Mixxx. The thought of a smart hoop changing patterns
along with scratching is really exciting! That would be so fun and
To expand my idea a little…
The world of digital DJ software is sadly lacking in tools that allow you to
synchronise other media to your music performance.
Personally, I would like to be able to do a number of things:
* Play a video track (apparently supported by Serato)
* Play a MIDI track
