Forum: Virtual DJ Plugins - Topic: Looking for a developer to create a plug-in for me

I thought MIDI Time Code was an absolute timing mechanism without tempo information, and if wanting to sync to audio that MIDI Beat Clock would be more appropriate?

As has been discussed, VDJ 6 includes a MIDI_CLOCK function for the Simple MIDI Wrapper - although I'm yet to even try it out properly. I did also partly write a MBC plugin.

From my understanding it is an absolute timing, which is what I need.

The lighting software that I use is Sunlite Suite www.nicolaudie.com. In that program, they have a timeline based editor where you drop and drag lighting sequences onto a timeline and in doing so can sync them up with cues within the song, just like a rock concert. The problem is, the absolute position needs to be sent. So basically, I need a way for the active deck to send out it's absolute position in the song via MTC (MIDI Time Code). The thing is, as DJs, we never know where in the song we're going to start the song or where in the song we're going to mix into the next song, so this is the only way I have to sync lights. Also, when we adjust pitch it changes the timing too, which can be addressed with MTC..

Anyone? Buehler?

Thanks,
