The VMS4 will work with any Midi Software, ie. Serato, Traktor, Virtual DJ etc.
We will provide Midi mapping files for all popular software titles.

Los, you see that I moved your post to the newly created Media controller section on the American Audio Section of the forums. so any further post related to this topic can be made in this section.

i recently bought the vci300 errr... i think thats the model. anyways, all those uttons are way too crammed and i end up pressing the cue, throwing me off completely. thi seems to be a bit more user friendly. is there a price fir this yet?
Layout and ergnomics of controllers is very important. It's not just about slapping everything on there, some thought has to be done to it.
Then again, there are so many controllers because there are so many preferences.
The VMS4 seems to have some nice spacing and light up knobs and buttons. I'd still prefer to have a light over it, but I'd want to see how this looks in a dark environment before I were to think about purchasing it.
If ADJ Audio is going to provide profiles and layouts for other software packages, that's awesome. This unit is of no use to me since I don't do DJ work, but regardless, a company coming out with that kind of statement, that's just not heard of too often anymore.
Now, excuse my ignorance on Serrato, I know someone using it for Mac. I don't know what interface he has, but I see no MIDI interface on it. I bet he's had it for a few years so it's probably an older interface. Not sure if Serrato is like Pro Tools, where it needs PROPER hardware to function(say, the interface for example). But I could certainly see if you have a MIDI interface, taking advantage of that. With MIDI IN and OUT, you can get dynamic feedback from your activity at the controller.

Serato Itch is Serato's MIDI platform, but only works with certain controllers. Serato SSL1 is controlled exclusively by TCV or TCCD's. (tc= time code), SSL3 added MIDI capabilities.
AA has been working hard to provide multi software support with their controllers. I actually worked with Virtual DJ on the first mappings provided (by Virtual DJ as a download avaiable) for the DP2. I told Tom Freret that I would love to lend my time developing a mapper for VDJ for the VMS.
Tom you still have my address right.

is there a possibility that you guys will be making a software yourselves? I think that would really put you guys over the top! just make sure you make a package deal with the htd turntables again

I have a question regarding VMS4. it has an internal soundcard, but is it possible to use an external soundcard with the VMS4 when using the USB audio (laptop)?
cheers,

Yes the VSM4 has 4 audio inputs, that can be used as an analog mixer. But out of curiosity, why would you want to use an external sound card when one is built in?
Thanks for the reply. Well it would be just a matter of the sound quality. Just in case something more is required, I just wanted to know if the possibilty existed.
But I dont know if you answered my question though. My question was regarding use of an external soundcard when using a software on a laptop for mixing.
Also I have another question...Will the VMS4's eq act as midi when using a software and let the software eq do the work, or will it use its own eq? (for example, when i use a software with the Xone4d, its the Xone's eq that are being used, not the software's)

Well you can run an external sound card into any of the inputs.
If you wanted the midi to control the software eq.s you could assign to channels as midi control, to control the software, and use 2 channels as analog to control the volume from your external card. To me it seems like a waste of channels, and it would be a little confusing.
So if the channels are assigned as midi = They will control the software EQ's and mixers.
If the channels are set to analog = They will act as a separate mixer from the software.
But I do not believe you can do both. As in you cannot use the faders as analog and the EQ's as midi.
As I don't have one in front of me, I cannot verify this though.

Thanks for your help, it clears some of it up for me. I guess I would also need to find a shop to get my hands on it to have all my questions answered.
Also I guess it definitely doesnt have an Isolator EQ and nowhere could i find the specs on its analog eq boost and cut range (and if full kill or not)

Hi everyone!
Prompt please. Suitable for the Comptroller VMS4 (Velocity MIDI station) bag http://www.torq-dj.com/news.ph...655e701c5b1e21c5#new Torq Xponent Gig Bag? Or advise another bag.
Thank you

I believe the VSM4 will for into the Xponent bag, but you could just as well use a good targus laptop bag and save a few $$$'s
does it work with vista 64???
I can't give you a definitive answer, but as a tester for the DP2...the DP2 worked flawlessly with Vista 64 and Windows 7 64, so I would expect no less from this.
Captain Smackdown, The VMS4 will work with any "Midi Learn" music software. Regarding "Vista 64" - It all depends on what computer software you use. Think of the VMS4 like an open source controller. You just need to add the Midi Mapping files for your chosen "Vista 64" software.
i use traktor on a HP 64 vista machine
good to go???

Yes that is what Brian is saying. Yes it will work.

occam's razor applies, i have been looking for a controller for a while that will control all for 4 channels/tracks of traktor..
you will been receiving my financial application for this mixer when they are available
all the best ADJ...love your light and will hopefully love your DJ gear!!!

Hello and greetings from Greece
I have to say that i m' very excited about VMS4 and i m looking forward for the releasee date here in Greece in a reasonable price to purchace it.
Got a small question abou the hardware because i didnt notice the answer in any video.
- The EQ knobs have puss-kill function?
I realy like the controller layout and i think is very dj friendly but i have to say that i m not very positive about the touch load buttons for the two decks, i will prefer hardware buttons for this ones.
keep up the good work!

Couple of issues, no overhead light which makes operation difficult in live situations and the volume on the headphone cue output way to low, mic channels need the mod internally.
The light over the unit should be a number one priority on all mixers, yet it seems only those that make rack style equipment have the sense to do that.Volume Cue/headphone level is way way to low, it's a big issue when playing a live set

The EQ buttons do not have a "kill" push button which is a big mistake, no overhead light and low headphone output are no no's for this unit otherwise a great product for the money. Also the fact that there are a bunch of controls of the front face panel and a headphone output makes it impossible to put a keyboard and mouse in front of it. should have been on the side.

overhead light???????
Nah unfortunately, it won't fit in the Xponent bag. I tried.
Something to keep in mind - if you're planning on using the VMS4 with Serato, you still will need a Serato box to run the software. You can't just hook up the VMS4, download the Serato software, and expect to use Serato.
of course not.
neither would you be able to use traktor scratch with the vms without the audio 8.
these softwares are "dongled" to their respective hardware.

I know YOU know that, Fluke! But I wasn't sure if other users knew that.
oh no! you again!
Hey guys!
Just a question: Can I assign my touchstrips in VDJ 7LE? or is it just for the pro? Because i wanna use them az fx controllers and now they are functioning only as mouse scrolls.

i'm not sure about the feature set of VDJ LE - if no one comes up with an answer here, i'd recommend you to ask in the VDJ forum or at ADJs user support...
Hi!
What is the recommanded settings for the latency in ASIO settings? Now i have 20 set in, and with VDJ it distorts in some track...i tried it with 10 aswell but same..

if it distorts in some Tracks than it not the ASIO driver but your files. If it where the ASIO driver all your songs would have the same sound for the entire duration of the song. FYI the ASIO does however communicate via USB if you are running your WIFI card this can be causing the CPU's clock source to have a process lag every 3-10 second this will be a problem that happens on time all the time to resolve this disable the wifi card.
well ok, but i always disable the WIFI.
The strange thing is with Traktor it works fine...i tried it with the same tracks..

dunno for VDJ, but traktor has a limiter which is probably on? you can activate/deactivate it in the prefs.
