To Zomo or Not to Zomo?
Posted on: 08.03.2013 by Doreen Schurle


I can't decide :-\ most clubs around here don't use DJM-style mixers, so I'm kinda missing out on that aspect of its appeal, but I DO like the idea of having something REALLY small to rock up to a venue with. Just not sure if I'd miss the jogwheels.

Well, thanks to the jog-free reassurance, the MC-1000 is currently winging its way to me Will post a review and my custom mapping once it arrives

Not the drivers, the device firmware like the VCI-100 firmware updates DJTT did a while ago. Managed to wipe the flash memory before I had a chance to upload the firmware as a backup..

Hopefully should hear from Vestax during the week.

P.S. the NI power supply works for the VCM/VCI 100s too.

Easily. I have seek encoders mapped on my K2. Thats how i get around not having jogs.

I had seek encoders mapped on my Faderfox DX2 years ago.

If it works with Traktor DJ app dude. Would be prefect if they implemented midi functionality for a little setup.

If you have an iPad and Midi Monitor app and connect it with the camera kit and Midimon shows midi input it should be class compliant.

It's a really nice piece of kit, solid all-metal like the VCI and does everything a two-deck controller does minus jogs+FX.

Shame I had to go and break it so fast..

Seek for large changes, pitch bend for small.

Denon one looks interesting, although no filter knobs I might just buy the Zomo, see how it feels and then decide whether or not to keep it. Just need to hunt down a reasonably priced used one now haha.

EDIT: AFAIK, the MIDI on all of these is class-compliant, the audio stuff is typically supported natively as WASAPI/CoreAudio, with additional ASIO support for some devices.

This. Never liked the idea of having my filter knobs one above the other, makes manipulating multiple filters at once a pain in the arse :-/

Zomo + Ipad might be win win as a high quality tiny rig if its a class compliant soundcard in the zomo

*Just says core audio for Mac and no driver download so bets are its class compliant, nice
