Hi, I see that VDJ supports the DMC & Dac-2 now which is great. Does the DMC have to have the new chip from gizmolabs to work on VDJ or does the stock standard release chip work as well??

Hmmm, I was thinking I would need the chip from gizmolabs, Dams are you 100% sure I would need the chip, it appears from DJ Phil that it is not neccessary. Phil are you sure your DMC isnt chipped?
Heres what gizmos web page says about it. You should be able to tell by the version number on the dmc at power-up. Can you let me know, please.

DJ PHIL IT your controller must be already chipped, because the controllers that are sent with PCDJ are locked to work with this software only. That's why you need the Gizmolabs chip to use it with Virtual DJ.

He's right, you absolutely need the upgrade chip for the Numark DMC-1. http://www.gizmolabs.net
I am very happy that Virutal DJ supports...
the Numark DMC-1 (with uprade chip)
Visiosonic DAC-2 controller (no chip needed)
MIDI controllers
Soon to be released Virtual DJ XP-10 controller

Thanks for the info, makes sense. I am very keen to see the arrival of the xp-10 and hear what users have to say. This will be the greatest influencing decision on whether to leave my vinyl and go digital.

The reason it works is that the protection doesn't kick in immediately.
It starts after a random time, then the controller stops responding to keys pressed

The original DMC-1 was specifically designed to work with PCDJ and nothing else (locked). With the upgrade chip, the controller is unlocked to work with other programs like Virtual DJ. They also fixed some minor bugs. I highly recommend using virtual DJ with a wired controller. Either DMC-1 with upgrade chip or DAC-2 (no upgrade needed).

I have bought the DMC-1 to MixVibes website and it works fine with VDJ demo! I think they sell a version of the DMC-1 that includes de ship...

Yes, Mixvibes and DJ Power sells controllers that are unlocked as well. That chip is the magic that opened the controller up to work with other programs. In fact, I know of a black box that will allow the DAC-2 to work with BPM Studio! but why would you want to do that I would like it the other way around. A black box that opens the BPM RCP controller ($1000) to work with VirtualDJ. If anyone knows a way of doing this PLEASE drop me a line wirelessDJ@comcast.net
