Dumb question but help appreciated as always pls.

If I try to add a Midi controller (APC Mini) to trigger Frestyler on a PC running VDJ8 and a Denon MC6000mk2, will the APC and Denon clash as they are both midi controllers?

Only want to be able to toggle cuelists etc. from an external control surface.

Thanks.

You can run two controllers side by side in VDJ. Obviously if you have the same command mapped on both controllers it will execute whichever one is pressed however they will work independently with no issues.

Actually there are two options:

1) In VirtualDJ controllers tab set your APC to ignore. This will make VirtualDJ to stop listening on the APC. Then set Freestyler to listen for messages from the APC

2) Use the Freestyler MIDI Remote Control plug-in (Freestyler MRC). This will allow you to control Freestyler from within VirtualDJ and this means that you can use VDJ Script to remap APC and do much more than just toggle cuelists.

Finally, no there's no problem using multiple MIDI devices on your system at the same time.

Awesome - thanks for your help and the tips. I'll give that MRC a go too at some stage, thanks again.
