The GMX is a versatile multi-format media controller for the DJ who desires portability and multi-functionality. DJ’s can playback tracks from a single USB drive or from a laptop as a versatile software controller for virtual DJ or another host application. The eight large performance pads on each deck and the newly designed touch-sensitive mechanical jog wheels ensure inspired and intuitive control over every aspect of playback. The high-resolution USB/MIDI data-stream contains 14-bits of continual control information. That means every turn of a knob or jog wheel can have the precision of 16,384 possible level settings. With that much precision the GMX is the ideal choice for precise pitch and tempo control or any other function you desire to mangle within your software. Direct playback from a USB memory device of MP3, WAV, AAC and AIFF files allows the GMX to be unchained from the laptop. Its portability will inspire spontaneous sessions and make for fast and simple setup at smaller venues. The high-contrast screens with adjustable waveform displays allow easy visualization of the changes you are making to each of your tracks. The variable pitch control, master tempo control and BPM lock allow you to put the big picture, of matching tempos and keys to one another, together with ease.
