Maybe the capacitive switch sends one midi message and They seem to send a continuous midi message that changes when the capacitive switch is touched.īut then again maybe its not a continuous message. I hear you about the VCI-100 that was the unit I had my eye on–and will probably still get and eventually use as my primary controller–but once I’ve got the IDDJ properly mapped it’ll serve me well.Īfter paying with it i now know all it’s midi-outputs. If you’re a mix dj, then it’s probably fine. I guess the version of mixvibes cross that ships with the IDDJ is okay… if you’re into scratching its algorithm doesn’t produce a good sound. Again, depending on your style and the types of gigs you’re doing the IDDJ might do you fine). The main thing is will you be able to perform well, and will the client be happy with what you do. (I’ve been using the bcd2000 for paid gigs over two and a half years now… so running with a controller that others scoff at isn’t a big deal to me. You could certainly use it as a primary controller depending on the type of mixing style you have.

I’m hesitant to dip my toes into the scripting language… but if a group of us put our heads together and jointly worked on the code for this controller, we could probably get the jogwheels working just I’d consider the IDDJ a solid secondary unit. Jogwheel features aren’t there for me yet… but then, again, I’ve only spent 30 minutes playing around with it in mixxx at most.

With the midi learn feature I was able to get about 70 - 80% of the features to work. I’m running PCLOS which is a Mandrake offshoot, and for my system I just needed to modprobe snd-usb-audio, plugin the IDDJ, start Mixxx and it was there. My system wasn’t recognizing it because I wasn’t loading the usb audio module.
