Something exciting for DJs who own iPads just happened. In a nutshell, the answer to the question “Will my DJ controller work with my iPad?” has just changed from “probably not” to “yes, it’s pretty likely”!

With iOS6, we’ve learned that as long as your DJ controller is “class compliant” (best test: when using it with a Windows laptop, it doesn’t need audio drivers to be installed), it should work with iPad just as it is. The short of it? You may no longer need a Numark iDJ Live, iDJ Pro or Vestax Spin2 if you want to use a DJ controller with iOS. And as iOS6 includes multi-route audio, your controller’s sound card should work just fine too.

Before we start…

Djay

The Free version of djay includes the following features: Two-deck Classic Mode, with vinyl control, a mixer, scrolling waveforms, looping, EQ, filter, and five FX TIDAL integration, with Playlists, Browse, Match, Search, and more (requires TIDAL Premium or HiFi subscription). The Vestax VCI 400 is the hardware solution for DJs who have been seeking an instrument that perfectly adapts to their style of performance. Shifting compatibility to any DJ software has made the VCI 400 the most versatile and intuitive DJ controller in its league. From Vestax, Spin2 is an all-in-one DJ controller designed together with Algoriddim, the creators of the popular music mixing app djay for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Spin2 plug and plays with Algoriddim djay, bypassing complicated setups to immediately mix songs from your iTunes library. INTRODUCTION Spin is an all-in-one bundle of digital DJ hardware and software, offering total control to mix, scratch, and play music as a DJ would right at your fingertips. The included software, djay seamlessly integrates with your iTunes library and transforms your Mac into a full-blown DJ system.

This is all new stuff. Many of the manufacturers we spoke to at BPM 2012 weren’t even aware of this, and they also didn’t know if their controllers were class compliant. It’s also massive news because potentially your iPad could replace your laptop as your DJ computer – as of now!

Learn to DJ and sharpen your skills. Algoriddim teamed up with the most talented DJs to teach you the art of mixing music. Phil, founder of Digital DJ Tips, the biggest DJ training website in the world, has written a best-selling iBook about DJing with djay on iOS. Jul 25, 2013  In the past, only Numark iDJ Pro or Vestax Spin users had sample pads in the original version of djay. However, Algoriddim has listened to user requests and now all users can access sample pads from within the app.

But it’s all experimental too. We want to know what does and doesn’t work, so we’d love you to share your results. We’ve started a list of USB class compliant DJ controllers, but we want your help too. Here’s what you need to know and do in order to test your controller and start using your iPad in place of your laptop for DJing…

1. You’ll need aCamera Connection Kit. This basically plugs into the connector on the base of your iPad and gives you a USB; it’s this you’ll plug your controller into. (As it only works with iPad, currently if you want to use an external DJ controller with iPhone or iPod touch, you’ll have to use one of the Apple approved models like the iDJ Live or Spin2 mentioned above)
2. Something’s got to power your DJ controller. It more than likely the case that your iPad can’t provide enough power. You’ll therefore need a powered USB hub, which has the added advantage of also charging your iPad. If your DJ controller has a mains lead, you could plug it in and see what happens
3. You’re going to need DJ software that can work with this. The first DJ app for iPad that advertises the ability to work with multi-route audio and have Midi mapping is DJ Player 5, so if you’re serious about doing this, you’ll want to go and grab a copy of that should you not already have one, and be prepared to start doing some mapping. But just for testing purposes, you can use free app Midi Monitor

How to do it

Get Midi Monitor (or DJ Player 5) installed and running. Plug a camera connection kit into your iPad and USB that into your plugged in, powered hub. Put another USB between the hub and the iOS device fitted with the camera connection kit. That’s it! Playing with controls on your DJ controller should now show Midi messages being received on Midi Monitor, and on DJ Player 5 you should additionally see your DJ controller’s sound card recognised.

So, does your controller work? Great! Please let us know. Your next step is to come up with a mapping. Doesn’t yours work? Sorry to hear that, but again let us know – manufacturers ought to be considering this stuff or risk getting left seriously behind, so we can help by making them aware.

If you love digital DJing but think having to set up your laptop just to see your waveforms and navigate your library is a bit of a pain, now you have an alternative – if you’re a Vestax Spin owner, that is. Because it’s now officially possible to use the Vestax Spin to control djay for iPad, meaning you can take your iPad, your Spin and your headphones to the party with you… but leave your laptop at home.

Djay Pro Free Download For Windows

As reported last week, if you’re using iCloud to keep your music synced between your devices, you can also do so knowing that your cue points and BPM information is all there too, meaning work done preparing you tunes on your laptop at home is all ready for you on your iPad when you get to the party. It’s not quite so simple, however: You also need Apple’s USB Camera Adaptor kit for your iPad, and a power adaptor to power your Spin. Also, if you want to use your headphones for cue monitoring (and who wouldn’t?) you’ll need a headphones splitter cable.

However, as a proof of concept (and definitely as a concrete example of the shape of things to come), it’s a noteworthy development. The laptop’s days do indeed seem to be numbered. Who’d have thought the term “laptop DJ” may go the way of “vinyl DJ” or “CD DJ”…

Would you prefer to use your iPad as a screen/computer than carry a laptop around with you when digital DJing? Do you agree that this is the shape of things to come? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
