Sync CDJs with Ableton Live

Thats cool, James :-))

SP-16, Pioneers first sampler syncs with CDJs, here a

It has Pro DJ Link and MIDI clock, you can connect other devices via USB and stay in sync – and according to the press release, Pioneer will add connectivity with DAWs and synths at a later date.

To clarify you don't need pioneer brand anything to run this, it just runs the cdj directly into live?

Dave, I’m not sure I understand the question. These programs work to translate network messages from Pioneer brand CDJs to other software like Ableton Live. You need a computer to run them on, and put them on the network with the CDJs and Ableton. Beat Link Trigger has advanced a great deal and has many new features since it was last discussed here; it can now work with Ableton Link for even better sync, and can display the waveforms and current playback position of the CDJs. https://github.com/brunchboy/beat-link-trigger/blob/master/README.md

I actually started working on stand-alone prolink to midi box based on raspi a while ago before discovering this thread: help and feedback appreciated :)

Neat! Good luck, this is definitely a fun and useful area to work on, especially now that we have figured out so many interesting details of the protocol.

Georg, maybe moved forward with product to producing? :)
