Well I see we now have the Midi clock in 8 but when I go in and right click activate the clock VDJ still does not show up in Resolume.
What am I doing wrong here?? Any setup help would be greatly appreciated 👌

PC or Mac?
You probably need to run some sort of routing software that creates a virtual MIDI cable between VDJ and Resolume.
What are you right clicking to activate the clock? What does the text/option say?

Well I'm on a Mac using an NS7 (which doesn't send a clock out) so I just clicked on a blank space where out controller names are and checked Midi clock.
Next I open Resolume assuming VDJ would show up but nothing related to VDJ is there.
Why would I need yet ANOTHER piece of software to get this to work?? Shouldn't I be able to turn the clock on the VDJ would show up in any software I choose?? At least in my mind that makes sense, am I missing something here?

What you're missing is that the list of devices is hardware.
So for instance if you had a hardware MIDI interface connected to your Mac, then you'd see a MIDI output listed there.
Software MIDI in/outs don't get listed. MIDI is still regarded as a hardware thing.
In the same way that a plug is required for VDJ to communicate with Freestyler, something needs to emulate a MIDI interface in order for it to be listed in VDJ as an output.
I see there's one for Mac called MidiPipe. There's another called MIDI Patchbay.

Well no, you need something to pass MIDI data between applications - MIDI doesn't have a concept of applications. The MIDI data has to be sent to a port - and that port will be on a device, either real or virtual.
So on the PC you would use something like loopbe1, and on the Mac you would probably just set up a virtual port. VirtualDJ opens the output port and sends the data, Resolume opens the input port and receives the data.

It looks as if Macs may be able to do this "out of the box" (IAC Bus)......

Ok I get it now, Thanks fellas!!
Now only if I could launch lighting cues from ShowXpress from VDJ we'd be on a roll......

ok I found where I read it, on the wiki page, not the sticky post. So you have to have your controller connected to activate it? Or can I activate it on my loopbe?

Loopbe would in fact be the recommended thing to activate it on for PC users.

Ok I got it figured out. I was expecting to find the setting in the Options menu. After I re-read above a few times I figured out to right click on the Midi driver you have installed from the controller button settings in config. In my case, the LoopBe; to transfer the signal to my DMX software. Works like a champ! Glad to have it back!

Ok the IAC driver is working but when I opened VDJ it has a mapping attached to it??
This was causing conflicts with Resolume so I went back into VDJ and just hit ignore for the mapping, this in return disconnected the IAC driver so I had to reconnect it and everything is good now mapping wise.
I noticed that the BPM isn't as steady as I'd like but I can work with it!!
So once again Thank You 👌 This is one step closer for me.
