The VDMX is composed by different modules(also known as racks). The Head Rack is your main control center letting you control basic elements of your project as EQ, Pitch control, and beatmatching. The Archive rack is similar to Itunes or Windows media giving you access to all tracks on your hard drive. The Cue/Loop Rack has 6 programs dedicated to making sure your loops are right on point to give you perfect seemless looping. The Spin-Mix Rack enables you to scratch and mix your mP3 database as two turntables. Finally, the included Sampler Rack gives lets you sample different noises and parts of songs to mix into your set making this the ultimate DJ software package!
