VCI-380 is a 2 channel DJ controller with a built-in Digital DJ mixer, powerful & creative, opening the door to limitless possibilities of controllerism. Mix, scratch, cue, effect, sample, trigger, loop & slice. Every feature of the VCI-380 is optimized to enhance the DJs performance & take a new approach in manipulating music. Designed hand in hand with Serato, 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 & 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 & popularized by Ean Golden to describe the process while paying homage to & giving respect to the art of turntablsim. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) EVERYTHING IS AT YOUR FINGER TIPS 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 & Pad FX. With the given features you can trigger cue points, samples, loops, slice up beats, & shoot off Pad FX together. 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.FX are 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 & needle drops tracks. ULTRA-STABLE PERFORMANCE The legendary jog wheels from the Vestax VCI series have stepped up in their game with an advanced structure & larger platters for extra stability & 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, & as like all VCI series controllers you can pitch bend the track by touching the sides of the jog wheels. STAND ALONE MIXER The stand alone mixer function of the VCI-380 has great capacity for adaptability. The two hybrid channels are capable of mixing external devices such as CD players, turntables & MP3 players, together with tracks & samples Serato ITCH is playing. Each channel has an RCA Phono/ Line input for limitless connection options, & the crossfader & input faders curve can be adjusted like any DJ mixer. Mixes with the input source can be tweaked with Trim, EQ & in addition, the FX knobs on each channel function as Hi-Pass filters, to add an extra touch to your performance.
