Almost forgot ...

looking at your specs it has d/a convertors

24-bit 48 kHz analog audio

16-bit 44.1kHz USB audio

Does the unit have a digital output ?

thanks

[IDJNOW]

No digi outputs.

[gunmansole]

This is a very useful desirable product .

I can use it with cubase as a proper durable vst mixer with midi mapping & also use it for djing.

can you please clarify a few things?

Does it have 4 single audio outputs so you could record as a multitrack & can you route the mic inputs as a separate audio output ?

Does the eq have a push on / off kill function?

can you adjust the jog wheel sensitivity & stiffness?

will it have optional face plates.

Thanks

[IDJNOW]

From the information I currently have available the answer to all questions unfortunately is no. However, as the product is still unreleased there is a possibility, though unlikely, that may change. Thanks.

[SaxManDanDotCom]

VMS4 brand new out of box, just demonstrated a master mix, the thing freezes but not to bad. I may have to go analog.

[ROYALAPA]
