News - MixVibes Release VFX Control 1.3

Press Release: Leading DJ technology manufacturer MixVibes has launched version 1.3 of its VFX Control digital video mixing solution for professional DJs and VJs.

The new version brings major improvements to this already powerful software. VFX's look and feel has been updated and improved. No other DJ/VJ software currently offers its range of technical capabilities combined with smooth ergonomics. Media management, transitions, preferences and other features have been enhanced and a new workflow display added for faster access to essential features. Various keyboard shortcuts have also been introduced to improve workflow.

The addition of HID Protocol to VFX Control 1.3 offers ultra-precise control of jog wheel movement, loops, pitch bend and more. VFX Control is now also fully pre-mapped for over 20 controllers, including MixVibes' best selling U-Mix Control Pro as well as Pioneer CDJ 900 and 2000 players and other popular controllers. (The software now allows mapping of controls using MIDI learning so the user can customise control maps or even add new controllers easily.) Additional improvements include showing VFX data on the CDJ LCD display screens for scrollable media bases, artwork and waveforms. VFX Control 1.3 has been equipped with MixVibes' ultra-accurate BPM analyzer to improve mixing quality and enjoyment. Previews of video transitions can also be done before loading onto the track. Further developments include the synchronizing of audio and video files within each player: for example, a scratch, loop or rewind will impact both audio and video tracks simultaneously. A Track Repeat function also replays both media in an endless loop.

In addition to ASIO driver support, VFX Control 1.3 also supports WASAPI, which can be operated in shared mode.

VFX 1.3 software retails at £329 and is included with the VFX controller package for £429.
