Vestax is shipping its newest DJ controller, the VCM-600. Optimized for Ableton Live's asynchronous clip based performance paradigm, the VCM-600 offers an unprecedented control surface for performing and mixing with Live as an integrated DJ system. The VCM-600 is now shipping and available in stores. Each of the VCM-600 6 control channels offers 18 knobs and switches plus a channel fader to provide unparalleled performance control over clips and loops within Ableton. An advanced dedicated effects control section with 16 knobs and switches combines with channel effects sends and a return section to allow serious live manipulation of Ableton's effects. Capable of controlling 160 parameters and triggers within Live, the VCM-600 brings Ableton alive for DJs. Each channel includes multiple cut filters, resonance and frequency controls, and clip control with LED indicators to inspire DJs to a new level of performance and software interaction. A master tempo and nudge section in addition to cross-fader, per-channel cross-fader assignment, and cross fader curve control complete this groundbreaking control surface. Facilitating live performance, LED panels placed on each side of the VCM-600 to illuminate the control surface and ensure that DJs can view all of the controls even in dark environments. High quality input faders and pitch faders from the VCI-100 and PMC-580 are applied to the VCM-600 for advanced operability.
