This is the ClockBox v3. It’s a tool that creates Midiclock data and sends them out via TRS-A connector and USB. It also provides DinSync compatible tempo data via (1/8″) TS-output.

The smallest possible digital DJ-Setup
I finally did it and built the smallest possible DJ System I can imagine. Have a look at this video to get an idea of its size and basic operation. It’s an early protoype, a little rough around the edges but it allows you to get a first impression.
The system is based around mixxx running on a Raspberry Pi 4. It’s battery-backed and allows for standalone operation of ~2.5 hours. It can be connected to a power outlet anytime for uninterrupted operation over a longer period. It features 2*mono out and allows to be connected to a mixing desk or an active speaker/ boombox.

The Reloop Buddy has 3 potentiometers for dialing in the levels for master volume, cue volume and cue mix. While playing the first set with the controller I realized that the position of those potis is far from perfect and needed some tweaking.
OSC to MIDI | Midi to OSC | Midi over Network
This tool acts as a helper between Midi and OSC. It allows you to receive OSC data and forward them to a Midi-device and/or (yes, simultaneously) vice versa. I somewhat accidentally discovered that you can use this tool to also transmit Midi data over network (over OSC). It’s based on openFrameworks. It works on Mac, Windows and probably on a Raspberry Pi. Source code and binaries for Mac and Windows are available on Github .
Using Reloop Buddy with Native Instruments Traktor
tl;dr: Reloop’s new low-range controller ‘Buddy’ does not completely work with Native Instruments Traktor out of the box. This post provides a solution in form of a Python script.
DJ Controller galore
Obviously, I do have a thing with Midi controllers. This is the better part of the ones I used over the course of the last ~15 years. Each of them has a story to tell.
Hercules Starlight Midi Mapping
A few weeks ago I bought the Hercules Starlight Midi controller because … of reasons and due to the fact that I started playing music on M-Audio’s infamous Torq DVS I have some leftover-habits of how I want my software / controller to react. That’s why it was ab-so-lute-ly necessary to create a customized MIDI mapping for using Traktor. By the way, did I ever tell you? When Torq 2 came out I was one of the alpha-testers. Thank me for Torq 2.x not crashing when using a MIDI device that presents itself with an umlaut. (I guess the NDA is more than obsolete since Torq is no more for a long time already).
Creating this mapping I didn’t start from scratch but based my work on an already existing one. As far as I remember it was this one but don’t quote me on that. However, big thanks to DJ Roberts over at the DJTechTools forum.

Am Ende des vorherigen Posts zum vierten Bauabschnitt des neuen Midi-Controllers hatte ich ja bereits durchblicken lassen, dass ich mir aus lauter Verzweiflung einen neuen Midi-Controller bestellt hatte, um wenigstens ir-gend-etwas funktionierendes mit ‘Midi’ in der Hand zu haben. Das ist der Starlight Controller von Hercules.
