More information from DJ Ed, another user who noticed the problem:
When trying to use Vinyl Control, the pitch controller is constantly varying by +/-0.1% ... +/-0.3%.
Thus the playing track's speed is constantly varying by that amount, meaning that tight mixes are not really possible.
The music sounds "instable" (high wow/flutter like cassette tapes in the old days) this being caused by the varying pitch.
(With vinyl control switched off, the playback is rock solid, I never hear any hickups or other sound issues, even on lowest latency).
The timecode signal quality "scope" shows a circle with a constantly (slightly) varying circumference (becoming wider and narrower all the time even while the control cd is playing at normal speed.)
Pioneer CDJ1000Mk2's with Serato Control CD (image burned from Serato support site), line-out connected to a stereo Line-In pair of the audio interface.
I've tried everything in the manual and troubleshooting guide, Mastertempo on CDJ is off, Correct input volume / gain settings, latency, different inputs, etc.
When recording the timecode signal from the CD player to e.g. Audacity on the computers, makes a perfect rendition of the timecode audio signal.
I haven't tried other timecode sources, as the Serato control CD is the only one that works with Mixxx and I don't own any Timecode Vinyl.
Additional info: When using a virtual audio cable / VBcable as timecode input and then playing the timecode wav file in a media player on the same pc where Mixxx is running, the same continuous variation in the pitchcontrol and timecode "scope" is seen.
