Quick follow-up — connecting some dots between threads. @kyleawayan’s djay-pro-bridge (see his thread “[Created a ShowKontrol-like deck monitoring tool for djay on macOS”](https://community.algoriddim.com/t/created-a-showkontrol-like-deck-monitoring-tool-for-djay-on-macos/41823)) reads real-time deck state from djay Pro through the macOS Accessibility API — title, artist, key, BPM, BPM%, elapsed/remaining time, play/pause, per deck. No database access at all. @tfmeier — this might solve your problem more directly than watching the database: for MIDI triggering from live deck state, reading the UI sidesteps the whole “when does djay write to its tables” question. For my phrase counter, it becomes the foundation: elapsed time × effective BPM = current beat, displayed as beat/bar/phrase with a countdown to the next 16/32-beat boundary. Works even with Apple Music tracks. The missing piece remains the first downbeat position, which lives in the database beatgrid — so my question about the current blob format still stands. On that front, some prior art on GitHub: parabolala/djtools and xsaardo/Djay-Pro-2-Export-Tools both decode the djay Pro 2 database (tracks, cues, BPM). Has anyone tested these on current djay Pro versions? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.algoriddim.com/t/djay-database-and-cue-point-feedback-from-mixmasterg/42569)._
