If you came here from the link in the first 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 compatible 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-0.5.4.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 MacOS 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 Win64 MSI installer (.msi file), which installs a Windows application with the Java 11 runtime built in.
  • If you are willing to test a new way of packaging the Mac application that leaves out unnecessary parts to make it much smaller, you can download the test-jlink.dmg file. If you do this, please report whether it is working for you. If you run into any unexplained problems, fall back to the larger MacOS.dmg file which is known to work.
  • If you want to test what is going into the next release, download the executable PREVIEW.jar file (you will need to have a compatible Java runtime installed, like with the first option).

What’s in the Release

An important fix for MIDI device names on macOS, display of DJ-assigned labels on memory points and hot cues, some new Trigger Global expressions, and improved expression values and functions. Please see the Change Log for details.
