What are using to control 4 decks?

Love jogwheels. Can' t live without!

Jog Wheels are over rated in my opinion

They could build something based on the VCI 100, so only 2 jog wheels, but have an extra set of controls for decks C & D. If I was a whizz on some form of design software I'd knock up a design cos I know exactly how I'd have it.

But you put two of them together and you get 4 deck control.

true that. the vms4 looks very promising!

my old mc 505 had multi mode faders, so you'd always get value jumps. that experience definitely turned me off to multi mode controls, unless its endless encoders.

heres my solution for 4 deck control...both vci's are running fw 1.3

Too much...
I really like the stanton scs.3d interface. You can still scrach and pitch your music and you get a plus with the touchable surface to control anything in anyway.
The sky is the limit :D

Maybe the ohm could take up the job? I've been contemplating a setup back and forth lately but for now I'm using my remote zero and Touch OSC. I'm using touch osc only for loading tracks though. I created a layout for effects but i don't really enjoy using the small screen and constantly changing pages. 4 Decks on the remote is really pushing it for me.

We can't forget the B33SON Video, he was the winner of DJTT competition and he was using 4 decks with traktor 3.4 and only 1 VCI.
Pretty sick set, he's da man:

Agreed!

That was the shit! TOTALLY!

But....remember, he is using the Audio8 and routing all 4 channels to the Xone mixer.

So in essence..not JUST the VCI-100.

This is what i am aiming for.
Seems the best way currently to use 4 decks.

Easy enough to control start stop etc.

But the Channel and EQ controls are now on the XONE.
Makes a HUGE difference IMO.

But still......I watch it once a week!

:)

HEHEHEHE

It could be a good way to be a portable 4 deck DJ right?
Every club has a 4 channel mixer, you can have your 4 channel mixer at home and there is no need to get your mixer to the club because there is one there...
I think B33SON figure out this at that time...
To control separated 4 channel FXs, loops and cue points you could have a unit like VCI or anything else...
The majority of national/international DJs that I see playing with notebook at Brazil uses this setup, even Ean uses it, external mixer + one controller.
The answer is simple, with the full-midi hardware we have at market right now we can't be full-midi-4-decks DJs without the loved and hated "shift" :(
Again, I wish I could have the money and knowlage to build a unit that could achieve what I want in a controller...
