micromodul DJ1 is a small DJ controller that contains everything you need for computer-based mixing. This controller differs from all other controllers on the market in that it does not contain more or less control elements than are needed for classic DJ mixing – and all that, in the usual layout of a DJ-mixer. Of course, a controller can do a lot more than a normal mixer, so we made a whole row of control buttons. The DJ1 is not a universal controller. It is a specialist for Djing. As of Traktor DJ-Studio version 2.0, you can use the DJ1 immediately by using the settings file which is shipped with the controller. Modern Djing – made fun!

Extended information

The DJ1 can also be used with other programs. We even made a special configuration file for Ableton Live as of version 2.0 which is just as fun. The file can be found on our CD. You can not program the DJ1 or assign controller numbers or key numbers, but that is a function that is rarely need with current software.

The DJ1 is very compact and easy to transport, and you do not even need a mains adapter since it works with standard and rechargeable batteries.
