With more and more DJ’s moving from CD and Vinyl formats to software and software-based controllers, popularity is growing for products such as the Numark Mixdeck. This guide walks through the proper set up for the Numark Express with Virtual DJ Pro.
Note: Althought the Mixdeck can be used with your computer to playback audio, only the left and right decks will control the software of your choice. The mixer section does not send MIDI data. This is a design choice that allows the Mixdeck to be versatile in regards to playback source options.
Download and install the latest drivers for your Windows or Macintosh computer for the Mixdeck from the DOWNLOADS section of the dedicated Further Technical Support.
Note: The drivers will be packaged in a .zip file. You will need to extract these files before running the setup.
Once extracted, run the Setup file to install the drivers. This is a crucial step, as the drivers are what enable the Mixdeck to communicate with your computer.
First, make sure your powered speakers or PA system are connected to either the BALANCED OUTPUT or MASTER RCA ports on the rear of the Mixdeck.
If you’ll be using headphones for cue-ing up new songs, connect them to the HEADPHONE port on the front of the Mixdeck.
Connect the Mixdeck to the computer. Set the Source button to MIDI PC on both sides.
Open Virtual DJ.
Click on the Gear Icon upper left hand side of the software, or on older versions, the Config menu in the upper right hand corner.
Chose the Mappers tab in the Config menu and choose Mixdeck from the drop-down menu.
