    Doesn’t that controller ship with Deckadance? Have you tried using that software yet?

    I’m surprised you’re having so much trouble with Virtual DJ. Does the software crash when you don’t have the controller connected?

    Yes it does ship with Deckadance but that doesn’t handle video which I use a lot. Did begin with it a while ago but moved to VDJ for video and also better autoplay handling which I use for some events.

    VDJ has not crashed on me (yet!). I use it on 2 laptops – the second is running a a constant backup in case of problems – and both are running Vista. If I get VDJ running first and then plug in the controller, VDJ freezes to be released immediately I unplug the device. The problem is the same on both machines. I ran VDJ’s MIDI Tracker routine and is shows that the laptop is receiving commands from the controller.

    If I plug in the controller before running VDJ, the software hangs on the load sequence at ‘Initiallising devices’.

    It’s a great shame as otherwise it appears a great little tool for minimal cost.

    Just a quick update on this.

    I also email the DJ-Tech team to see if they could help – not even a ‘sorry but’ reply. Not great customer service.

    The VDJ forum guys started well but it’s frittered away despite my giving them every bit of info they asked for (and more).

    Never mind I’ll send it back to Maplin and try mapping the keyboard to see if I can make life easier.
