Either we can get it from sniffing the traffic or we'd have to ask Roland about it.

So, this probably needs additional support in Mixxx. The controller responds to (and sends) MIDI beat clock signals. This means for every beat one needs to send twenty-four 0xF8 messages. Hence, for faster tempos one hits the 20ms limitation on scripted timers in Mixxx.

Also this might require measures to compensate for drift, not sure.

Lastly, since only one deck should send the clock, some GUI to select the synced deck would be needed.

Google turned up an old Mixxx issue, but it doesn’t look like anything ever came from this. Maybe @Be-ing knows if this is on somebody’s radar.

Does this controller use the same MIDI interface for the controls and the MIDI clock, or do they appear as separate MIDI devices?

It uses the same MIDI interface.
