Not a bug, maybe just a wish.
In waves i can see the beat grid. There is a way to get a value each time a beat is playing?

In practice, I mean:

• Eg.1) Mixxx would output values (for eg. from "[Master],volume"), so I´ll grab that values, and send to (eg) USB and a light is turning on, or to an screen graphic that changes its color intensity/opacity/etc... everything sync with that palying song beat.
• Eg.2) Something similar to: http://www.lightjams.com/musicPlayer.html
• Eg.3) Example videos: http://www.lightjams.com/videos.html
• For the graphics, I mean something like the visual VUs and Peaks Insicators already do, but instead of its height/width/visible/hide change, being set to graphics opacity/color intensity change ...

Or maybe, after all, all of this is not needed?
Maybe I could get already the volume values, grabing them from "[Master],volume", and could output them by simply creating a plugin for Mixxx?...

Lets hope that I had explained this well...
Sorry for my engrish!... I´ll forgive for yours too... :p

Thanks!

Hi Jorge Rosa

have you seen the controller "MIDI for light"? Maybe, it can be what your are looking for.

Hi Michael

Thanks for the tip!
