OVERVIEW

 

   

The Button Box V4 will allow any midi capable turntable to have all the 

functionality of the Vestax Controller One, and have even more added 

features. The unit is powered by USB (connect it to a computer or any 

USB power supply such as a mobile phone charger etc), and has a midi 

DIN socket for use with a midi cable.  

 

As well as being able to control a turntable the unit can be used as a 

standalone midi controller through USB midi and a midi cable. This 

means you are also able to use it with your favorite DAW or external 

hardware. For example you could have this hooked up to 

Traktor/Serato/Ableton 

and

 to your turntable at the same time, to 

control the turntable, trigger cue points and control any of Ableton’s (or 

your favorite DAW) instruments simultaneously.
