Forum: Old versions

It wasn't easy to figure it all out, as there are several things to set, and they're in different places - both in VDJ and on the HS5500s.

This is how I did it:
Set both 5500s to MIDI 1&2 but set one as Unit Number 1 and the other as Unit number 2 (all done on the 5500s).

In the Denon ASIO util, make sure both your 5500s show up, as unit 1 and unit 2, and enable both of them.

Start VDJ and check that both your 5500s display the 'twin deck' screen layout.

Using a four deck skin, open config and under the sound setup tab, select the outputs option and choose advanced config.

Depending on what's shown, you may need to add decks here. Set it up so that it displays a list of four things - deck one, two, three and four. From the sound card options you should see Denon ASIO but also two options called 'speaker HS5500' or similar.

You may find that selecting Denon ASIO only shows you 'outputs 1&2' as options, so what you need to do is choose the 'speaker HS5500' option, which then displays outputs 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 7&8. Choose the first 'speaker' for decks one and two, and the second for three and four.

Set each deck to output on its own individual pair.

Back on the mapper tab, click on the square 'mappers options' button and you should see a menu choice called 'deck assign', which tells VDJ which on-screen deck you want your 5500s to control. Set one 5500 to control decks 1&2 and the other to control 3&4.

At this point you should have individual control of the four VDJ players by using all four layers of the 5500s.

If the sound is still not routing correctly to your four separate mixer channels, you may need to switch the output assignments back to 'Denon ASIO' in advanced sound config. Despite it displaying as only outputting to 1&2, you should find it routes the audio to all four stereo outs
