I saw the other Feena controller talked about on the forum, but I hadn't seen the FMDJ9303 mentioned. Just curious if anyone has ever used this thing:

On their website they say they will be providing mapping files for VDJ but can't find any sign of them.

looks pretty cool.
You can change the midi values for the controller (neat!)
And the midi chart is here:

Should be pretty easy to map in VDJ ;)

Again A very nice looking peice of kit.
But Similar to the X-session Pro, there is no sound card Therfore you need a second mixer. This a pet peeve of mine..... Why purchase a midi mixer, and then have to purchase a second audio mixer on top of the first one?????
My Impression would be that UNLESS the mixer is permanently installed in a booth that has all three formats happening (vinal, cdj/dvdj, and Compy) and it runs to a house/line mixer, then it's kinda just for home use. Why cart two mixers to a show? Especially if you only use VDJ, and no other formats???

You don't need another mixer, just a sound card.
Any word on the price? That website says they're sold out.

better to say 'sold out' than 'hasnt got out of prototype yet'
looks good but its got competition from other 'all in one' controllers like
herc control mp3
faderfox dm2 (or something like that)
vestax have shown a prototype of an all in one MIDI controller
m-audio x session pro
behringer ones
and there is that funny other one that was quite wide but not very deep, little cigar-box sized beige box with 2 jogs and some buttons on
anyway, ill wait and see how much it is!

It seems they're bringing out a new model next year. They are having 12 special edition models made which will sell for around 350 US Dollars. There seem to be a number of stores in the US who have them in stock for immediate shipping. One is http://store.topdjgear.com/fefmdjmicofo.html
I know a guy in the UK who has one and raves about it, the build quality, etc.
I ordered 1 yesterday so that I can make a small very mobile briefcase setup for very small pub gigs or for home use. I'll use my NU04 and DN-S3500s for bigger gigs.
It's a bit cheaper than the DAC-3 which works fantastically well, but is 19" rack mount format. The Feena will sit on top of the laptop keyboard if wanted so can be very compact, but it might be hard to do a search for a track like that. I'm planning on making a folding case that folds to the size of a hard briefcase, but the lid will open sideways with the Feena in and then the laptop lid will lift up, all in all a very compact alternative. Hoping to just carry that and a couple of active speakers for a small gig with no lights.

Not bad, but no jog wheels? prefer the Hercules MK2 ;).

Yeah, seems that they are trying to decide whether to put jog wheels on their new model. I'm not worried about that myself though.

Found a video of a guy in UK using with Traktor. Should be great with VDJ.

He has done a review at

Good point that the Feena offers more than a Faderfox (which also needa a midi interface as an extra if not on soundcard).

Yes you do need a second mixer. How else would you get the audio signal from the soundcard to the P.A and have enough volume to hear a head phone mix.?
This is the pet peeve: Controller that has mixer controls and no audio. A person would need a Second Mixer/audio input device such as a line mixer to input the soundcard signal to the Amp.
Why Use two mixers?
Can these Intelligent people who design these things not look on these forums and others like them?
All-in-one baby, either that or I'm staying with the DAC.
BCD 2000 - Returned it due to Quailty issues
Hercules DJCv1 - Liked it but Button quailty wasn't there and so I sold it to a beginner freind

Yeah I guess I will use a mixer, because I like to have balanced outputs to my speakers. But I would also use a mixer with a DAC-3. (which defo is great)
I've got a spare mixer I could use. I'm an old established standard dj so I would find it hard to forget using a mixer.

have you ever been to a DJ booth that doesnt allready have a line in socket somewhere?
even if there was only a direct line input to the first amp/speaker management unit its defenately possible to cue even in a loud environment with the 2nd output from a sound card (ether by using efficient headphones (SHURE etc) or by using a headphone amp. also you could use monitors that are designed to have a line input
