Midi Clock Out

[SephReed]

Feature Description

I've wanted to sync Bitwig and Mixxx for years. I do live improv looping with one, and DJing with the other. I've never been able to sync them.

Many other people have had projects where they wanted to midi sync. It is currently not possible as far as I can tell.

Here's the links:

• Wiki on MIDI Clock for lights (not for audio)
• My question on Mixxx Forum (2025)
• Other user, same question (2020)
• User wants to control Arduino (2017)
• Feature discussion (2011)

I think the absolute most ideal feature would be what AI hallucinates:

1. Open Mixxx and go to Preferences > Controllers.
2. Click "Add MIDI Device" and select YOUR CONTROLLER AND BUS.
3. Enable "Send MIDI Clock".
4. Apply and close the settings.

There is #10999 which provides Ableton Link support.
If you like to test that PR, here are instructions for testing and backup

I don't know Ableton Link - does it work on Linux? Can it send Midi Clock to non-Ableton devices?
