Hi @ecutsa,

thanks for showing interest in this. :) In the current state the following should be possible:

• Connect from your laptop via ethernet either to a CDJ directly or via network-switch to a network with 2 CDJs
• Connect a USB to MIDI dongle from your laptop to a drum machine.
• Change your network settings so that DHCP is disabled on the ethernet interface and make sure that you are in the same IP-Range as the CDJ network. (I don't remember the exact subnet, maybe the IP part is not needed)
• Compile the binary in https://github.com/IljaN/canihazmidi/tree/master/src/prolink2midi
• Run it like so: prolink2midi sync /dev/midi0. the device-path /dev/midi0 might be different depending on your midi-interface.

Now the CDJ which is the master should start/stop you drum machine in time when you hit play on the CDJ. Tested it last time a few years ago on linux with CDJ2000NXS2. Dynamic pitchbend is also partially implemented but does not work very well.

Hope this helps. Ping me if you need advice.
