Technology

Rekordbox 7.0 from AlphaTheta (formerlery known as Pioneer DJ)
Pro DJ Link enabled Hardware (my Pioneer XDJ-XZ)
3rd Party Software Beat Link Trigger from Deep Symmetry
UDP as protocol from clojures driven BLT to Python
Python scripts to bring the data from BLT via UDP into an UI

Motivation

For years i like to play my favorite songs with Rekordbox, installed on my Mac. I own some controllers, the DDJ 400, DDJ 800, RB-DMX-1, DDJ-XP2 und the XDJ-XZ as standalone player.

Played around with different solutions like SoundSwitch to get my lighting in sync of the playing song.

Idea

My idea is to bring that together by using Pro DJ Link in combination with Deep Symmetry's great solution Beat Link Trigger and python
