American Audio VMS4 DJ Controller

The VMS4 is a 4-channel table top MIDILOG controller and is American Audio’s top of the line controller. One feature that separates this controller from others is the built in soundcard, which eliminates additional interfaces needed between the controller and computer. American Audio has incorporated a built-in USB port onto this controller, this provides plug-n-play right out of the box and allows the VMS4 to be used with any MIDI audio software titles. This controller is equipped with two velocity touch sensitive jog wheels, a full function mouse pad, two 10- bit resolution pitch sliders, 62 assignable MIDI buttons and switches (50 with LED illuminations, 18 with dual blue/red LEDs), 4 assignable rotary encoders, 34 assignable rotary controllers, and 5 assignable linear fader controllers. All audio control faders, knobs, switches, and buttons have been smoothed to eliminate popping, wiper noise, and zipper noise. This versatile all in one DJ controller is perfect for beginner DJs and has all the features that will satisfy a professional DJ.
