Vestax VCM-100

VCM-100 USB MIDI & Audio Controller

Portable Mixing Workstation!

The VCM-100 is a compact USB MIDI & audio system, designed with Vestax's mechatronics technology developed in the past 30 years. Despite its compact size, the VCM-100 comes with 4in4out(Stereo x 2 in/out)connection, headphone output and high quality mechanical parts placed in the control section.

Having every feature fitted in to a solid metal body smaller than a standard laptop, the VCM-100 is easy to use and transportation friendly, which makes it the simple all-in-one USB audio interface that all PRO's want.

60 parameters of various software are assignable to the VCM-100's control section via USB MIDI IN/OUT.
The DATA SEND LED provides clear visual of the current status to assist in an authentic play mode in real time.
Monaural 4 in/ Stero 2 out (Master out L.R, Monitor/Booth out L.R), Headphone output. The VMC-100 provides a high definition sound, thanks to the audio codec IC designed with a built-in hardware sample rate converter, delta-sigma conversion 20bit stereo D/A converter and 18bit stereo A/D converter.
Support for ASIO 2.0, CoreAudio and MME / WDM, MAYA44 USB is compatible to all major music and DJ and DAW applications.
ESI(Ego systems Inc) designed ASIO driver apllied for its proven high reliablity.DAW application software and DJ application software work with the driver at a valiant low latency rate and high performance. (Windows will identify the VCM-100 as a 2in2out USB audio device when using the standard Windows WDM driver. Use the ASIO driver when using multi input/output with DTM application software. )
The VCM-100 provides simple plug & play features working with Apple and Windows computers.
The power source is selectable from USB bus-power and the exclusive power adaptor(not included). (For best performance and stable operation, please use the power adaptor if the computer's power capacity is low or if using a USB hub)
There are no issues if you don't have any software to operate. TRAKTOR LE (Native Instrument Inc.) is bundled to the VCM-100 with exclusive control assignment files.

Compatible with all software that allows MIDI control assignment. 3 versions of firmware can be selected to have the best match with the software. Each software's samples of MIDI control assignment files will be available at www.vestax.com soon.
The compact metal body is thin but highly durable, and convenient for transportation.
