Hi
The D2 Director has finally hit the shops in the UK. I was wondering. It doesn't have any midi output, so couldn't be used as a controller in that way.
But. Wouldn't it be possible to use theVDJ timecode file and play it in the d2 director to control VDJ? Might be using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut, but might be useful too.

its like a computer
it plays mp3s of external drives
it doesnt have a midi output
im not sure how it would react to a timecode singal sorry
although you can play the timecode on a normal mp3 for testing purposes so it might work

If it has separate outputs for each deck (I expect it does), it should work fine for timecode control if you load the timecode MP3 onto it. It should work the same as if you were using a timecode CD in a CD player.
However, you will not be able to control other functions of VDJ with it (FX, samples, etc.) You might be better off waiting for the DMC-2 (Similar to the D2, but is a proper controller for VDJ.)

Yeah, I guess it would work, and I posted really to see what others thought. I can't afford one either at the moment.
As you know jpboggis I've been using the DAC3 and I am your number one fan cos your mapper is the dogs unshaved spanish bits and pieces. (if you've read the thread) ;-)http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/65396/General_Discussion/How_Far_Will_They_Go.html?page=1

It should work just fine for timecode use...the output signal will be just the same as a normal CD/Vinyl output...
But you said the D2 is in the stores allready??Are you sure??
