Looking for DJ timecode software?

Who TimecodeLink is for

TimecodeLink is made for clubs, bars, mobile DJs and independent artists who want their lights, lasers or visuals to follow whatever track is playing. It runs on the laptop you already DJ on, or next to a few CDJs.

• Works from Rekordbox, Serato and VirtualDJ on a laptop, with no CDJs needed, and with Pioneer CDJs / XDJs
• SMPTE timecode out over LTC, MTC and Art-Net, all at the same time
• Tempo out: BPM and beats to Ableton Link, grandMA2 / grandMA3 speed masters and OSC
• OSC triggers on track load or at chosen moments, to start Resolume clips and lighting cues
• Works with Resolume, grandMA, Pangolin BEYOND, lighting consoles, lasers and video

Timecode from DJ software on Windows

Every TimecodeLink input runs on Windows 10 and 11: Rekordbox, Serato (beta), VirtualDJ (beta) CDJs / XDJs and Denon players (beta). Art-Net timecode goes out over the network. For LTC, send the audio to a spare output on your interface, or route it to other software on the same PC through VB-CABLE.

How it works

Your DJ software or players tell TimecodeLink which track is playing and where it is. TimecodeLink turns that into timecode, tempo and triggers, and sends them to every output you've switched on.
