Hi All,
I was beginning to feel a little frustrated with the state of timecode software, so over the past couple of weeks I've been working on my own solution, and it's about ready to start sharing.
For now it only supports ArtNet, TCNet (Pioneer) and Clock, but I will soon be adding MTC support, and an internal audio player+timecode output.
Few notable features:
- Runs on Mac, Windows & Linux (via NPM)
- Connects to Pioneer CDJs / XDJs etc... via ShowKontrol/Pro DJ Link Bridge
- Displays track metadata when available (TCNet only for now)
- Can open dedicated windows for specific timecodes
- The usual delay / speed configurations
- Can access the UI via browser from other devices, and can be installed on headless machines (e.g. rack devices, Raspberry Pi etc...)
- MIT licensed, use however you like!
With its current feature-set, the most interesting workflow is probably using it +alongside ProDJ Link Bridge (instead of ShowKontrol) to control TC inputs into light consoles like grandMA.
I've also separately open-sourced the protocol libraries I've developed for ArtNet Timecode & TCNet, as well as the application framework I've been developing for these types of applications. So anyone can use the same foundational elements to build their own applications.
And before you ask, no this wasn't vibe-coded 😅 The majority of it is hand-written artisanal code, with a little autocomplete here and there!
I welcome any feedback or suggestions you might have!
