VirtualDJ 8 Setup

Download and install VirtualDJ 8 from

http://www.virtualdj.com/download/index.html

(in case you have not done already)
Once VirtualDJ 8 is launched, a Login Window

will appear. Login with your virtualdj.com
account. A Pro Infinity or a PLUS License is
required to fully use the American Audio
19MXR. Without any of the above Licenses,
the controller will operate for 10 minutes each
time you restart VirtualDJ.

A detection window will appear next,
asking to use or not the pre-defined
audio setup (for the Mixer mode) with
the built-in sound card of the 19MXR.
The audio configuration for the

Controller mode needs to be manually

created.

Firmware: No firmware update is available at the time that this document was written,
however you should always check at the manufacture website.

Drivers (for Windows only): Install the latest ASIO drivers from

http://www.adjaudio.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemNumber=1490&MainId=1&Category=23

No drivers are required for Mac OSX computers.

Operation mode: The American Audio 19MXR can operate in Mixer or Controller mode.
By default the Mixer mode is selected. To switch to Controller mode, power off the unit, hold
down the CONTROLLER MODE button (32) and then power on the unit. The Led of the
Mode button will be on if the unit is on Controller mode.

The unit is now ready to operate.

Mixer mode

By default the unit will launch on Mixer mode. The Led of the CONTROLLER MODE button
(B) will be off, as an indication. In this mode the unit is able to control 2 software decks
(Midilog 2 will control VirtualDJ deck 1 and Midilog 3 will control VirtualDJ deck 2). Midilog 1
and 4 can be only used as Analogue Inputs. Make sure the Midilog 2 and 3
USB/ANALOGUE switchers (16) are on USB position.

AUDIO Setup
The Audio configuration for the Mixer mode is pre-defined and offered in the Audio tab of
Settings as a special button in the CARD tab. Press this button and then click on APPLY to
auto-create the following audio configuration.

Note that in this mode, the audio routing is handled by the unit and even though most of the
mixer faders and knobs will be visible on VirtualDJ GUI when used, the EQ, the Filter and
the mixer functions are hardware operations (VirtualDJ internal mixer is not used)

MIDI Operation
The unit should be visible in the CONTROLLERS tab of Config and 2 different factory

default mapping options will be available in the Mappings drop-down list. Make sure the
factory default Mixer Mode mapping is selected. The factory default Mapping offers the

functions described in this Manual, however those can be adjusted to your needs via VDJ
Script actions.
