A detection window will appear next verifying proper connection.

Click on the "Use Soundcard" button and VirtualDJ will apply the pre-defined audio configuration (Speakers need to be connected to the Master Output of the DDJ-Ergo at the rear panel)

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.

A Pro Infinity or a PLUS license is required to customize the mapping of the unit.
