What's new

1.0.22026-10-15 macOS Win

• CDJ/XDJ and Rekordbox: the waveform no longer drifts ahead late in a track
• CDJ/XDJ: timecode and waveform stay steady when the computer briefly stalls
• CDJ/XDJ: a (?) hint lists what to check when no player data arrives
• New "TCNet (master)" output: Resolume and other TCNet software see every deck at once
• Serato: color waveforms, hot cues, saved loops and the beat grid
• Serato: live loops show in the right place on the waveform
• Serato on Mac: explains why it needs your Music library before macOS asks
• OSC triggers can fire on a hot cue or memory cue, not just at a fixed time
• OSC triggers can send several commands, and one trigger can fire on several cues
• New trigger editor with a ▶ button to test the commands right away
• The playlist shows each track's triggers and where they land on the timeline
• grandMA3: BPM with one decimal, a Half tempo switch (e.g. 128 to 64), and fewer BPM commands
• Ableton Link: drift correction is on by default and warns when another app moves the beat
• In-app updates: install new versions in one click, or opt in to betas
• Compact always-on-top mode to park over Resolume; the LIVE view fits 13" laptops
• COMPACT switch in the DECKS and LIVE views
• Waveforms scroll smoothly while Resolume runs on the same graphics card
• BPM shows one decimal place
• Mac: the window drags normally and the green button goes full screen
• Personal and Business licenses are now Standard and Pro
• The trial includes every Pro feature, marked with a PRO label

1.0.02026-10-06 macOS Win

• Rekordbox: experimental option "On-air from faders" (Settings → Rekordbox, off by default, Rekordbox 7.2.19 only) uses the channel faders to tell which decks are audible, so auto-master follows the deck the crowd hears
• Rekordbox on Mac: setup now warns you to log out of Apple Music first. Apple Music isn't supported alongside TimecodeLink on Mac
• Rekordbox XML import: exports with damaged characters in a track's tags now import instead of being rejected
• Rekordbox XML import: the import screen now says imported cues are saved for an upcoming update (they don't show on the waveform or trigger OSC yet)
• Steadier timecode on LTC, MTC and Art-Net: the one-frame back-and-forth jitter seen with VirtualDJ, Serato and Rekordbox is gone, and the output no longer steps backward during steady play
• LTC: the signal now follows the deck pitch exactly, with no dropouts at high or low pitch, and resuming after a pause no longer steps the receiver back a few frames
• MTC: timing is now exact at every frame rate (at 24 and 30 fps it ran about 4% fast before), and the once-a-second one-frame wobble is gone
• MTC and Art-Net: new per-output option "When paused: Hold position" keeps the receiver on the paused frame instead of stopping. The default, "Stop sending", works as before
• Art-Net "All networks" now sends on every network the computer is connected to, so a console on a second network gets timecode too
• Hover an output chip on the master card to see its full status, including the frame rate; the frame rate setting now reminds you to set the receiver to the same rate
• Pro DJ Link is out of beta
• Pro DJ Link: the input status now warns when another app on the same computer is taking the players' data, or when players are found but no data arrives (port 50002)
• Denon (beta) is now listed for everyone, with overview waveforms for tracks played from the players' media
• Denon (beta): fixed the track length and the pitch shown for players on Engine OS 5, and MTC no longer jumps once a second
• VirtualDJ: overview waveforms, hot cues and the active loop now show on the deck cards (restart VirtualDJ once after updating so it loads the new bridge)
• VirtualDJ: exact track length, so on Windows the waveform playhead no longer runs ahead of the audio near the end of a track
• Ableton Link: new option "Follow track bars" puts Link's beat 1 on the track's downbeat from the Rekordbox or CDJ beat grid. Off by default
• Tempo (OSC): optional "Beat Within Bar" message sends 1 to 4 on every beat, 1 on the downbeat, like Beat Link Trigger. Needs a CDJ/XDJ or Rekordbox track with a beat grid. The Tempo switches now explain themselves on hover
• Fixed false beats from the Tempo outputs (OSC, grandMA2, grandMA3) when a deck is scrubbed backwards fast
• OSC on-master triggers now fire every time a deck becomes master, not only the first time after a track load; the trigger time reads "On Master" instead of "On Air"
• Deck cards show an ON AIR badge when the deck's mixer channel is up (VirtualDJ, and CDJ/XDJ or Denon with a mixer on the link); the badge for the deck feeding the master output now says MASTER
• Web remote reacts faster to deck switches, play/pause and seeks

0.1.82026-09-25

• Import a Rekordbox playlist straight into your track list from Rekordbox's XML export
• Added support for Rekordbox 7.2.19
• Waveforms are now drawn by the GPU, so the playhead glides smoothly instead of stepping

• Ableton Link: new option to correct slow drift during long mixes
• CPU and GPU load meters in the footer
• VirtualDJ: timecode now follows the crossfader and volume faders, and switches decks without a delay
• Fixed VirtualDJ tempo and timecode going wrong at extreme negative pitch
• Fixed TimecodeLink restarting over and over while Rekordbox is closed
• You can now cancel the wait when TimecodeLink asks you to quit Rekordbox
• grandMA2: you now see a message when the console rejects the login
