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 (which in turn triggers messages to other systems, e.g.
DMX lighting rig, Quartz Composer visuals).
* Do one of the above for each track deck that happens to be playing, e.g.
Deck A and Deck B are both playing back independent MIDI tracks.
It's almost as if each deck needs to output a timecode signal, or MIDI
timecode, that other software can pick up on, in addition to the music track
it is already outputting. Come to think of it, isn't ReWire supposed to do
this?
Might it one day be possible to sequence and play back a MIDI track from
within Mixxx itself?
Best,
Patrick

Hi all,
My aim is to control external software based on song position within a track
- to control, for example, MaxMSP, light shows, visual fx, etc.
Is there anything on the Mixxx development roadmap that would allow this to
happen?
Does anyone have an opinion on how feasible this would be to add to Mixxx,
perhaps as a personal fork project?
Best,
Patrick
