Complete DJ system with 4-channel DJ mixer

Review: If you want to get people moving on the dance floor, the Mixdeck Quad is a complete DJ system with 4-channel mixer that puts you in complete control at any event. Thanks to the integrated 4-channel mixer, you can cue and layer to your heart's content.

Based upon the popular Mixdeck controller, the Mixdeck Quad kicks it up a notch by adding support for core MIDI on the iPad, opening the world of Apps like Algoriddum's DJAY to your DJ rig. In addition Numark added a fully functional 4-channel digital/analog MIDI mixer, allowing total control of both the iPad and DJ software while mixing from CD, thumb drives, mics or external sources.

The Mixdeck Quad comes complete with Traktor LE software in Europe so from the moment you open the box and connect to your computer, you're spinning tracks digitally. In addition, you can play from virtually any kind of media with Mixdeck Quad including CDs, MP3 CDs, USB flash drives and of course the iPad. BPM analyzation and tap tempo ensure that you never miss a beat. With Mixdeck Quad you can control your favorite MIDI software, with no timecode needed, using a simple USB connection.

On top of playing all kinds of music media, each one of Mixdeck Quad's decks enables you to add flavor to your performances with integrated, beat-synced DSP effects that include chop, echo, filter, flanger, pan and phaser. Each is completely adjustable and a dedicated wet-dry fader controls them all.

The Mixdeck Quad contains a set of beat and pitch tools that will help you with beat matching and harmonic mixing. Start playing a track and the Mixdeck Quad automatically analyzes its BPM (tempo) and displays it on screen. There's also a tap tempo button for manual BPM entry. You can alter the track's BPM by 6, 12, 25 and 100% using the pitch fader. For each of those ranges, you can also engage Key Lock, which holds the pitch (key) of the track while you independently manipulate its BPM. There's also a set of pitch-bend buttons on each track for quick tweaks.

The Mixdeck Quad has a full-featured 4-channel mixer built right in. Each input channel has its own gain and 3-band EQ/rotary kills (+12dB/ -INF). The mixer channels control the audio from Mixdeck Quad's onboard players, incoming audio from your computer, or external sources such as turntables, MP3s players and more. The Mixdeck Quad has 2 sets of stereo, switchable phono/line inputs for external sources. The Mixdeck Quad's replaceable crossfader has switchable slope and reverse so you can customize its performance based on your preferences.

The Mixdeck Quad gives you a complete range of remixing tools for on-the-fly creativity, including seamless looping on a set of easy-to-understand controls, sampling, and easily accessible hot cues. Numark's familiar bleep/reverse gives you the ability to keep time moving forward while you cut or reverse the track.

You can play tracks from discs in single-track, continuous, and programmable playback modes for flexible performance. Fader start enables Mixdeck Quad to start playing the track you have cued up when you move the crossfader for effortless transitions. You can also use fader start with compatible CD players connected to the Mixdeck Quad's inputs.

There is so much you can do with the Mixdeck Quad because Numark jammed it full of world-class features like DSP effects with wet-dry fader, chop, echo, filter, flanger, pan and phaser. It also has smooth, fast, slot-loading drives with large, touch-sensitive illuminated platters so that the moment your fingers touch the platter, you know your performance is on. You can work the room thanks to Mixdeck Quad's 1/4" mic input with its own gain and 15dB high and low EQ. There's also a complete cueing section with dual 1/8" and 1/4" headphone outputs, dedicated cue gain and mini-crossfader control. You'll also never miss what's happening with the Mixdeck Quad thanks to its 2 large, backlit displays.

The Mixdeck Quad has a flexible output section too. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA stereo main outputs along with booth and record RCA outs allow for sending your mix to different locations and systems, including recording to your iPod. There's also a direct stereo output from each deck for use with timecode control interfaces including Serato Scratch Live software or external effects processors.

The Mixdeck Quad gives you the ability to perform, mix, remix and record with virtually any popular music media. Whether you play parties, clubs, events, or in a group, the Mixdeck Quad controller also gives you the freedom to DJ from nearly any source all in one unit, with the flexibility to add on and expand as much as you like.

2-channel DJ controller with a built-in digital DJ mixer

Review: The VCI-380 is a 2-channel DJ controller with a built-in Digital DJ mixer, powerful and creative, opening the door to limitless possibilities of controllerism. Mix, scratch, cue, effect, sample, trigger, loop and slice. Every feature of the VCI-380 is optimized to enhance the DJs performance and take a new approach in manipulating music. Designed hand in hand with Serato, the VCI-380 is bundled with ITCH, providing an arsenal of musical craft tools with perfect integrity, straight out of the box.

Controllerism is the art and practice of using musical software controllers (e.g. MIDI, OSC, Joystick, etc) to build upon, mix, scratch, remix, effect, modify, or otherwise create music, usually by a Digital DJ or Controllerist. The term was coined by Moldover in 2007 and popularized by Ean Golden to describe the process while paying homage to and giving respect to the art of turntablsim.

The 2 x 8 banks of FSR trigger pads on the VCI-380 are jam packed with creative performance modes such as the slicer, roll, sampler, loop, hot cue and pad FX. With the given features you can trigger cue points, samples, loops, slice up beats, and shoot off Pad FX together. The pad FX creates amazing combinations to manipulate music in ways nobody else has before: holding each pad (aftertouch) will modify the FX parameter, along with triggering performance mode functions. The FX is an essential tool to spice up your performance; in addition to pad FX, each deck features classic FX controls.The Ribbon control on each deck alters the parameters of pad FX, swipes, holds and needle drops tracks.

The legendary jog wheels from the Vestax VCI series have stepped up in their game with an advanced structure and larger platters for extra stability and smoothness. The platters of the VCI-380 are highly responsive, transmitting MIDI signals with extreme accuracy. The LED needle point embedded in the jog wheel provides excellent visual monitoring, indicating the decks playback position. The torque of the jog wheels can be adjusted to your preference, and as like all VCI series controllers you can pitch bend the track by touching the sides of the jog wheels.

The stand alone mixer function of the VCI-380 has great capacity for adaptability. The 2 hybrid channels are capable of mixing external devices such as CD players, turntables and MP3 players, together with tracks and samples Serato ITCH is playing. Each channel has an RCA phono/line input for limitless connection options, and the crossfader and input faders curve can be adjusted like any DJ mixer. Mixes with the input source can be tweaked with trim, EQ and in addition, the FX knobs on each channel function as Hi-Pass filters, to add an extra touch to your performance.

The built in high quality 24bit/48 kHz audio interface based on technology developed with the critically acclaimed Vestax VCI-400, features BIT-Perfect audio powered by a studio grade asynchronous USB streaming system. This extremely advanced technology provides low latency, premium sound quality and outputs your mix, analog or digital, at its true clarity. Some say seeing is believing. For the VCI-380, listening is believing.

All buttons and knobs have been pre-assigned, so users can quickly connect the controller to their laptops via a USB cable, enabling them to start their performances without adjusting any complicated settings. Additionally, the DDJ-S1 can be powered through the laptop's USB port.

Review: *** B-STOCK: Box opened. There is a minor mark in the plastic fascia and Virtual DJ isn't included but otherwise product is in excellent condition and in perfect working order ***

Reloop are proud to present its first digital mixing controller designed especially for the Serato Terminal Mix 4.

By introducing the Terminal Mix 4, Reloop have broken new ground once again with this fully integrated 4-channel mixer offering a wealth of features, including 3-fold EQ with intelligent kill technique and filter modulation capabilities per channel. Any of the 4 channels can be easily assigned to the crossfader via the controls on the front panel, where you will also be able to adjust the crossfader curve.

In addition to the popular Trax Encoder, the master section is now equipped with 4 convenient management buttons which allow direct access to playlists, crates or further layout views without the need to touch your laptop. This means a desired track can be located and loaded instantly into any deck via the designated load buttons, a fader start function can also be activated if desired.

As a further highlight, Reloop have developed brand new ultra-flat aluminium jog platters which with an impressive XXL diameter of 15.5cm have also been enhanced with a non-slip vinyl-grip coating for even more control over your tracks. With a total of 3 modes (pitch bend/vinyl/quick search) it's possible to easily switch between pitch correcting, scratching, or browsing through tracks on the fly.

The entire transport section is fully equipped with rubberised buttons which offer a comfortable pressure point whilst also being extremely durable.

The performance section features an extensive 8 button layout which can be utilised over 2 separate layers for true versatility. On the first layer 4 hot cues can be fired off and 4 sample decks can be triggered simultaneously. Depending on the software used, other creative possibilities are available, for example the option of accessing hot cues/samples 5-8 on the second layer, or with future software updates this section can be enhanced even further with brand new performance modes (cut'n'slice) for live remixing.

The extensive FX section is equipped with 4 buttons, 3 rotary knobs, and 1 endless encoder to provide even more creative possibilities in the mix. The smart loop section also features 4 independent controls allowing users to quickly set beat-precise loops, adjust the size of the loops and even move the loops whilst in a live situation.

Reloop also listened to the requests by many DJs and for the first time has integrated a 14bit pitch fader with 100mm increments, allowing ultra-precise mixing and blending.

The audio section offers a vast array of connecting possibilities for your master PA (including balanced output jacks), a zone function and a DJ booth system. Also very practical are the 2 headphones connections (6.3mm & 3.5mm) which can be adjusted with a 1-band equalizer. A microphone connection with a 1-fold EQ for MCs, hosts or singers has also been integrated and can be adjusted via a flexible routing switching system. Furthermore, it's possible to connect a turntable, CD/MP3 player, or iPhone/iPod to the Aux input which can be routed to the master or even software!

The Terminal Mix comes plug and play ready with Serato DJ Intro and a Virtual DJ 4-Deck LE (Reloop edition). The Traktor Pro 2 mappings are also available.

Firewire MIDI mixer control surface with soundcard for PC/Mac with 4 channel strips

Review: Stanton present the world's most advanced mix controller. Although the SCS.1m is in some ways a mixer, it's more appropriately called a mix controller. Designed in an intuitive DJ mixer format that should be instantly familiar to anyone who's ever stepped behind the decks, the SCS.1m features four channel strips with faders, EQ controls, and high-precision metering, as well as a responsive crossfader, and a straightforward Cue/Monitoring section. The surface layout has been carefully designed so that any experienced DJ can simply step up and begin basic mixing within seconds. The difference, of course, is that tweaking an EQ knob or channel fader, for example, is not actually adjusting analog audio it's controlling the corresponding EQ or level parameter in your DJ software.

The SCS.1m controls your DJ software and sends/receives audio to Mac or PC via its onboard, studio-quality FireWire connection. FireWire allows a simple, single-cable connection, with all the bandwidth required to handle just about any mixing and controlling task you're likely to need. It also ensures ultra-low latency (delay) of only 1.5ms and high sampling rates (sound quality) of up to 24bit/96 kHz. This translates into lightning-fast responsiveness and sound quality that's far beyond competing mix control products. Rotary Controls (aka Super Knobs): Beyond basic mixing and control, the SCS.1m makes a radical departure from traditional mixers via four rotary encoders (virtual knobs) with LED rings and corresponding LCD scribble strips. These fully assignable encoders can be mapped directly into functions in the DJ software while providing visual feedback of knob position, even in low-light settings. Underneath, the LCD scribble strips confirm the software parameter being adjusted by each encoder, without the need to check your laptop. Of course, common assignments for these encoders can be saved as presets for fast recall.

Auxiliary input for turntables and CD Players. Although designed primarily as a software control surface, the SC System provides DJs with the ability to connect a real turntable or CD player into their Macs or PCs via a switchable Aux input. This input is useful for mixing real world sources along with your software, and for sampling or archiving vinyl and other audio into your computer. Superior build quality unlike other DJ control surfaces, the SCS.1m Mix Controller and SCS.1d Deck offer truly professional, no-compromise build quality. Every knob, fader, LED and LCD is of utmost quality, and even the chassis is designed for years of real-world use in demanding live and studio environments. The world's premier mixer control surface for laptop DJs and remixers. Familiar 4-channel design with intuitive high-precision metering. Assignable Encoder section with 360- of LED feedback, LCD scribble strips for two-way communication with selected DJ software. Easy controller mapping into popular DJ and VJ software. Navigation section for remote browsing through playlists. Mic and Phono/Line input for sampling, archiving vinyl, and remixing. Built-in FireWire connections with full Mac and Windows compatibility. Perfect as a standalone mix controller, or in combination with SCS.1d deck. Balanced, studio-quality TRS output for mains; RCA booth output and 1/4" headphones output. Unique footswitch input enables hands-free control of software parameters.

Review: The DDJ-ERGO-V brings simplicity into both setup and performance, without compromising sound quality or features. Portable dimensions and sharp styling are complemented by a single bus powered cable connection to your laptop.

All major controls and effects are intuitively positioned and ready on the first press of a button. Quick access features include four-deck control, filters, FX, Hot Cues and sample banks with loop sampling too. Features you may not expect at this price point, such as high quality audio circuitry from the Pioneer professional mixer range and dual positioning options, mean the DDJ-ERGO-V will have wide appeal.

The DDJ-ERGO-V comes bundled with Atomix Productions Virtual DJ Limited Edition, which is ready to use straight from the box. Packed with features that even top of the range software can't boast, Virtual DJ LE lets DJs scratch, mix and add modern remix effects to your music and video sets without paying for an upgrade. On top of the four decks with autosync, you get instant access to eight samples, smart loops and much more. Automatic beatgrids, high-detail waveforms and a software interface that matches the controller will make it easy to keep track of the mix.

A new approach to the DDJ-ERGO-V adds a visual dimension to DJing. Pulse Control uses lights to highlight what features are in play, how accurate your beat matching is and which track is loaded.

Features include gain and filter per channel, improved library access, crossfader curve adjustment, 15.5mm vinyl-covered aluminium platters, booth output, and 2 layers across the 8 performance buttons for sample deck control, cue points and smart looping.

In addition to the popular Trax Encoder, the master section is now equipped with 4 convenient management buttons which allow direct access to playlists, crates or further layout views without the need to touch your laptop.
