INTRODUCTION

- Thank you very much for purchasing 4MIX! -


Welcome to the 4MIX – A fully capable 4-deck DJ controller with integrated audio interface.
Direct 4-Deck Control
The 4MIX is a compact USB DJ controller that provides direct access to 4-decks. The mixer area is a familiar
4-channel mixer with 3-band EQ, CUE, volume and a filter knob for each channel. The 12 rubber buttons on
each deck provide direct access to Loop, Hot Cue, and Transport controls. The 4Mix has also been configured
to use the volume knob and play buttons for direct access to Virtual DJs Sampler feature.
