A detection window will appear next asking to verify that the device is properly connected.

Click to OK.

The unit is now ready to operate.

MIDI Operation

The unit should be visible in the CONTROLLERS tab of Config and the “factory default” available/selected from the Mappings drop-down list.



The factory default Mapping offers the functions described in this Manual, however those can be adjusted to your needs via VDJ Script actions. Find more details at http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJ8script.html

AUDIO Setup

The unit is not offering any pre-defined audio configuration, as no built-in audio interface is available. Depending on the sound card you need to use, manually create the necessary Master and Headphones audio configuration.

By default VirtualDJ 8 will send the Master Output to the built-in (default) sound card of your computer.

For further software settings please refer to the User Guide of VirtualDJ 8.
