VirtualDJ 8 Setup

Download and install VirtualDJ 8 from http://www.virtualdj.com/download/index.html (in case you have not done already)

Once VirtualDJ 8 is launched, a Login Window will appear. Login with your virtualdj.com account.

A Pro Infinity or a Pro Subscription License is required to fully use the American Audio 19MXR. Without any of the above Licenses, the controller will operate for 10 minutes each time you restart VirtualDJ.

The 19MXR is also coming bundled with VirtualDJ LE. In this case download and install the Limited Edition from http://www.virtualdj.com/le

A detection window will appear next, asking to use or not the pre-defined audio setup (for the Mixer mode) with the built-in sound card of the 19MXR. The audio configuration for the Controller mode needs to be manually created.

The unit is now ready to operate.

Mixer mode

By default the unit will launch in Mixer mode. The Led of the CONTROLLER MODE button (B) will be off, as an indication. In this mode the unit is able to control 2 software decks (Midilog 2 will control VirtualDJ deck 1 and Midilog 3 will control VirtualDJ deck 2). Midilog 1 and 4 can be only used as Analogue Inputs. Make sure the Midilog 2 and 3 USB/ANALOGUE switchers (16) are on USB position.

AUDIO Setup
The Audio configuration for the Mixer mode is pre-defined and offered in the Audio tab of Settings as a special button in the CARD tab. Press this button and then click on APPLY to auto-create the following audio configuration.



Note that in this mode, the audio routing is handled by the unit and even though most of the mixer faders and knobs will be visible on VirtualDJ GUI when used, the EQ, the Filter and the mixer functions are hardware operations (VirtualDJ internal mixer is not used)

MIDI Operation
The unit should be visible in the CONTROLLERS tab of Config and 2 different factory default mapping options will be available in the Mappings drop-down list. Make sure the factory default Mixer Mode mapping is selected. The factory default Mapping offers the functions described in this Manual, however those can be adjusted to your needs via VDJ Script actions.

Controller mode

If the unit is on the Controller mode, the Led of the CONTROLLER MODE button (B) will be on, as an indication. In this mode the unit is able to control up to 4 software decks. Midilogs 1, 2, 3 and 4 will control VirtualDJ decks 3, 1, 2 and 4 respectively. Each one of the Midilogs can be used as an analogue source input as well (using the USB/ANALOGUE switcher (16)), however the sound of the corresponding VirtualDJ deck will be muted if the ANALOGUE position is selected.

AUDIO Setup
The Audio configuration for the Controller mode is not pre-defined and needs to be manually configured as per the following image and click to APPLY when done.



MIDI Operation
The unit should be visible in the CONTROLLERS tab of Config and 2 different factory default mapping options will be available in the Mappings drop-down list. Make sure the factory default Controller Mode mapping is selected.
