looks excellent :) makes sense to be part of your master sync work. i'd
love to help with the midi clock part - especially if that may mean master
sync + midi clock in/out would make it into 1.12 ;)
will it also be possible to get the distance to the next/previous beat as a
number of sample frames as opposed to percentage? that would be useful for
when you jump to a hotcue but behind the beat so the engine could jump to
the hotcue location + the same number of frames after the beat that the
current position was?

midi clock would also need some UI mods. as well as send on/off and a
button to actually send out a quantized midi clock start message we'd need
a clock offset value that can be easily tweaked too, maybe not hidden in
some prefs page?
the midi clock will be very useful for synching apps like ableton - we'd
need to be able to separately select midi in and output ports though - else
mixxx will open both 'in' and 'out' instances of the virtual midi port and
not allow ableton to open it. the code that links midi in and out ports by
name is great - but fails for virtual midi ports. OT slightly on this point
i realise :p
