Hello there. I have a question and hope anybody can help me out. Can VDJ8 be used with an USB to MIDI cable? And perhaps later with an USB soundcard with built-in midi interface? I have an older Midi controller that does not have a USB connection/controller on board, only 'old style" 5pin DIN connectors. I would like to use this controller with VDJ. Thx!

Yes. For any Midi device that is not natively supported, you will be able to use it as "Simple MIDI" device, so most of the buttons, faders, knobs (and probably jogs) will be able to map with VDJ script actions, but not Leds (or any other Midi Out)

Thank you DJdad for quick response! Do you know if there is a page with compatible USB Midi devices, or do they work all?
Do you know if there is a way to do some midi out stuff to use LED's? Or is that nog possible?
Thank you!

As long as the device is detected as midi by your computer it will work in vdj.
For leds you need to create a definition file for the device.
You can find more about that here:

Okay. Thank you very much for all the info! I have another question. I have 2 small controllers, which are the same. They are based on a Doepfer pocket electronics Contact to Midi board.
Is it possible to use each controller for each deck? If so, how do i remap this?

In Controllers tab you should get 2 entries of the same Simply Midi device and each one should offer. Deck Assignment drop list to select the deck(s) to assign to.
I have never tried this with Simply Midi units (that don't have a definition) but should work like that
