Video: New American Audio VMS Touch

The American Audio VMS touch is a small DJ controller with a built-in audio interface and a novel control area.

American Audio has come up with something a little bit different for the latest DJ controller to be added to its range, the VMS Touch, which is being shown here at NAMM 2012. The VMS Touch is a metal-chassised, two-deck, two-channel DJ controller with lit, touch-sensitive jogwheels, and a large control area that comprises almost entirely of touch-sensitive controls, similar to the Stanton SCS.3.

The unit has a large X/Y touchpad that is designed for use as a mouse controller in conjunction with a laptop, and has 1/4″ TRS balanced outputs plus microphone and headphone jacks.

No word on what software it will come with yet, or price / availability.
