How it works
Bridge your Serato Rekordbox VirtualDJ CDJ/XDJ Denon setup to show control in real-time
When you switch decks, the new track's timecode flows through TimecodeLink to BEYOND, and the laser and lighting shows follow the mix. Move the pitch fader and the timecode moves with it, so the visuals stay on the beat. OSC triggers fire on track load, or at moments you choose, to start Resolume clips and lighting cues.
Use cases
Play any track, in any order, at any pitch. The show follows.
Laser shows
Sync Pangolin BEYOND laser shows to your mix. Each track starts its own programmed timeline, and it stays locked through scratches, loops and pitch changes.
Lighting control
Feed timecode to any lighting console or software. Program the cues once and play whatever you like on the night.
VJ integration
Start Resolume clips when a track loads, or at any moment inside it. OSC cues land on the drop without anyone pressing go.
Pre-program your entire show. Play it live. Stay in sync.
