    Yes. Yes (it cannot).
    No.
    Yes, but you need to map it.

    Cheers, terry!

    That’s a little disappointing. I thought one of the reasons for integrating the software into sdj was so things could be used complimentarily. Do you think it will eventually?

    Anyway, When my ssl arrives, should i install scratch live or continue to use serato dj?

    I also recently watched a video with dj rasp using the vci 380 with a dvs. He is using the vci 380 only as a mixer then, correct? If so, how does one stop using the functions of the dvs and start using the functions of the vci380 while using serato dj? How does the software know which controller to recognize?

    Thanks again!

    The problem is the HID mode of the VCI-380.
    When in SL mode also Serato DJ only uses MIDI for mapping stuff. So all the other info gets lost. You can of course map all the buttons of the VCI new when the SL is plugged in, but the jogs will become inactive as they cannot be mapped.

    Technically many things are possible, but of course Serato is also fair to its licensing partners, so they have to put a barrier in somewhere so there is still a reason to buy higher grade stuff…

    thanks again, terry!

    if i mapped the 380 to work with my dvs, would that cause any problems when using my 380 all by itself? or when plugged in by itself it would act as if it weren’t being used for anything else? (hope that makes sense!)

    If you do not change it on the fly but follow the standard procedure….
    1. Quite Serato
    2. Disconnect everything
    3. reconnent the 380
    4. start serato
    Then it should default back to the 380 “normal” mode.
