Topic: Vestax Typhoon and VDJ - Page: 3

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I've found the best way to use the Typhoon was to change the mappings slightly.

I use a separate external sound card (a U46) and an external mixer, so have changed the typhoons mappings slightly, essentially removing the internal mixer part and using purely as a controller :

As using an external mixer do not need gain,pitch or audio crossfade :

Disabled gain mappings.
Disabled the pitch sliders, instead i've mapped the volume sliders as pitch sliders. (note you need the param_invert attribute)
Changed the crossfader to crossfade video only (not audio - so now have separate audio and video crossfaders).

The latency on the external sound card is better than the typhoon I think.

For a budget controller, in this configuration it has a very professional feel to it. I think the bend/scratch wheels are the best part of it, (although I can't scratch for toffee so i'm not sure how it would compare to say a pioneer cdj, in theory it should be good as the latency of the wheel should be good as a HID device, and the sound latency is down to the souncd card which is good).

One question: If I purchase the Vestax Typhoon and get the bundled VDJ LE, will I be able to use the software after the first 5 days?

It says that after the first 5 days it will have "limited functionality" unless I upgrade to VDJ Pro, but all I want is the Typhoon to work properly. Will it work?

VirtualDJ LE can be used as long as you like.

If you are currently trying out the Pro trial, then once the time is up and the trial ends, it will revert back to the limitations of VirtualDJ LE - Please see http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html

You will still be able to use the Typhoon, but will not be able to use the software stand-alone or with any other devices. Custom skins, effects, etc. cannot be used.

hello i got a vestax typhoon trying to get it map on my mac computer to work with vdj can some one help me pls

It is natively supported, so you should not need to so anything (Unless you are looking to change the default mappings to suit your own preferences, in which case, please see http://www.virtualdj.com/homepage/jpboggis/blogs/4149/VDJscript_Mapping.html )

If you are having trouble getting it to work, please ensure that you have the latest v7.0.3 VirtualDJ Pro installed http://www.virtualdj.com/download/updates.html

Also, make sure that you have not installed a custom mapper that may be conflicting with the default built-in support. If you have installed a custom mapper, please delete it from /users/YOURNAME/Documents/Mappers and/or /users/YOURNAME/Documents/Devices

If you are having trouble configuring the sound card, then you may need to configure it for 4 channel audio:

* Open the Utilities folder inside your Applications folder. Double-click on Audio MIDI Setup.

* In the Properties for: drop-down, choose the Typhoon.

* In the Audio Output section, choose 4ch-16 bit.

* Now go into VirtualDJ, and set the following in the sound options:

Inputs: None
Outputs: External Mixer
Sound card(s): 4 out card.
Sound card: Choose the Typhoon in the drop-down list.

Click APPLY

when i copy the mappin from midi finder where do i put it so my vestax spin can work with my version of vdj

Sorry, Vestax Spin will not work with your version because you have v3 Console Edition. This version is limited software and works with the Hercules DJ Console only. During the 20 day trial of Pro, it is a trial of VirtualDJ Pro v3 which is a very old version and has no native support for Vestax Spin.

Please try the latest VirtualDJ Home FREE v7.0.5 which will allow you to test the Spin for 10 minutes at a time: http://www.virtualdj.com/download/free.html

Then if you like the software, please upgrade to the latest VirtualDJ Professional v7.0.5 at a discount: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html
