Vestax Spin on PC via Virtual DJ7 or Traktor pro
Hi, I am trouble having my Vestax Spin detected on either of the above softwares, I cannot connect to play through the SPIN. please help. Thanks
Hi Martin,
Did you follow all installation instructions from manual?
Yes. I did, nothing much to it though. It’s just that I cannot control the vestax spin on virtual dj or traitor pro. I don’t know what additional tools are needed. Thanks
If you got your controller properly installed next thing you need to do is import midi mapping for your vestax.
Yes. This is the part I need help with, I am not that much of a computer person, so that’s why I would need your assistance. Where and how do I get this Midi mapping. How do I install it on the virtual dj. Thanks
Sorry, I’m not VDJ person… I guess somebody else can help you with it.
If not, google is your friend.
You need to get a .tsi file for Traktor, the spin afaik doesn’t have a default one. I’m using this one Vestax Spin/Typhoon : 4 Decks Mapping (Traktor TSI) it lets you control four decks. You import .tsi files from the preferences and there are numerous tutorials on how to do this and the manual has a section too. Setting up the audio is another thing as you need to again go to the prefrences and select it as your sound card. The manual has pretty clear instructions on this.

Thans Rdale, Actually I imported the tsi file, but got lost after that, if you could tell me a step by step process for this, would be great, really sorry..Thanks
Hi. I installed the tsi file, but could not get any further than that, I tried out all options. Any suggestions, or can you give me the steps I need to follow. Thanks
Use big import button twice and set midi in/out port by selecting your controller’s name in drop down menu.
Make sure that you are using right mapping for your version of traktor because earlier versions of mappings won’t work correctly with 2.5 and vice versa.
Hi Stewe. Thanks for the response, but the software is not detecting the Spin anywhere, thanks
Your controller should appier here:
Also try to set “all ports”. If it doesn’t work ether way then it’s something wrong with driver or it’s unit malfunction.
Hi Stewe, Under device i could see the spin, and i selected all ports, unfortunately no luck. The device i know is fine, because my friend has tested it on his macbook. No issues.
Make sure it sends midi by pressing any button on your controller and looking at little blue blinking dot at the master section of the screen. If you got blue light then midi is sent to traktor and issue is with mapping.
What version of Traktor are you using out of curiosity?
Hi, I am using the traktor pro.
@steve..i cannot see any blue light..
Do you think I should try out a different software,
Which audio device do you use? Audio must be selected in order so midi can be sent. If you dont have audio card you cant use mapping though.
Asio4all and or asio for typhoon
Try to switch on you comp sound card and see if any changes. If not, then uninstall both asio drivers and reinstall only asio for typhoon. Also reinstalling typhoon driver can’t really hurt.
