Hello everyone!
Generic midi controller support for xwax is currently in (very early) development but I think once it's off the ground it may mean that we can have some very nice integration between xwax and your CDJs. The idea is basically to pop a timecode CD into the player, as per usual, but then rather than hooking it up to an external interface to just use the CDJ as one. And then, on top of that, to also use the CDJ as midi controller, loading tracks, firing off hot cues, etc. The advantages of this are that setup is just 1 usb cable and 1 CD per deck and your hands never have to leave the CDJs or the mixer while you're spinning :)
It does, however, rely on the CDJs ability to do certain things. I had a leaf through the manual but I didn't find the answers I was looking for so I'll ask here:
- Does the CDJ's audio interface have a stereo input that would allow audio from a CD can be routed into the computer while simultaneously routing audio from the computer out the RCAs on the back?
- Are the CDJs class compliant midi devices?
- Is it possible to simultaneously use the CDJ as a CD player, retaining use of the jog wheel, pitch fader and play/pause button while sending midi data via USB from all or some of the remaining controls?
This is still really very much in the idea stages but it'd be nice to find out to what extent this is possible.
Thanks guys,
Louis
