How it works
Three steps. Zero config files.
Step 1
Connect over Ethernet
Plug your Mac into the same network as your CDJs. HitLight auto-discovers every Pioneer device on the link.
Step 2
Load your tracks
Play music like you normally would. HitLight reads the BPM, beat position, and phrase data from Pro DJ Link in real time.
Step 3
Watch the room react
Your lighting scenes advance on every beat, bar, or phrase — perfectly locked to what the crowd hears.
Features
Everything Pro DJ Link gives you
Beat-lock effects
Scene steps advance on the exact beat from the CDJ's internal clock. No audio analysis latency, no drift. Your strobes, color chases, and movements are frame-accurate.
Deck awareness
HitLight sees which deck is on-air via the DJM mixer's on-air flag. Lights automatically follow the active track — no manual switching during transitions.
Phrase transitions
CDJ-3000 broadcasts phrase analysis data (intro, verse, chorus, outro). HitLight can auto-switch scenes when the phrase changes — hands-free, perfectly timed.
Metadata integration
Track title, artist, key, and tempo are available in real time. Build context-aware scenes that adapt to what's playing — darker looks for darker tracks.
