If you came here from the link in the DJ TechTools article, please look at my instructions for more information about how to install and use Beat Link Trigger!

What to Download

  • If you already have a current Java runtime installed (Java 8 or later on the Mac, Java 9 or later on Windows), you can just download the executable beat-link-trigger-0.5.1.jar file, and should be able to run it by double-clicking.
  • If you are on a Mac and don’t want to have to worry about installing and managing a separate Java environment, you can download the disk image (.dmg) file, which contains a signed Mac application with the necessary Java 11 runtime built right in.
  • If you are on 64-bit Windows and don’t want to have to separately install Java you can—thanks to a build server created and hosted by @Kevinnns—download the MSI installer (.msi file), which installs a Windows application with the Java 11 runtime built in.

What’s in the Release

This is a small release to fix some issues that showed up in 0.5.0 when more people started using it. (What, not everyone tries out the preview releases? 😁)

Fixed

  • The SignatureFinder would crash trying to calculate signatures for tracks without artists, and trying to import such tracks from offline media into shows would also fail.
  • When loading tracks on a player using the dbserver approach (which is still done when loading from rekordbox), the Genre menu was not implemented correctly, and genre filtering would be lost after the top level of the menu.

Added

  • The MenuLoader now supports loading tracks from the Label, Bit Rate, Original Artist, and Remixer menus.
  • Track Metadata now includes bit rate, when applicable.

Please see the Change Log for all of the great things that went into 0.5.0.
