Vestax 'Itch'

Never one to fall behind in the technology stakes. djsolution have ordered and are eagerly awaiting Vestax & Serato's new collaboration 'Itch'. Due for release late June, this little piece of kit aims to replace two turntables and a mixer. Now... let's get this straight, as far as we are concerned, this will never fully replace two techinics/cdj's and a mixer. However we view this as the perfect back up for our dj's and if successful we will implement them into all of our rigs.
Another huge benefit has to be loading your dj set up into 'hand luggage'.
Good work.

Here's the blurb:

Vestax and Serato have joined forces. Sharing their technology and compiled feedback from Pro DJ's and users from around the world, they have created a dedicated DJ USB MIDI / Audio system and software offering absolute control.The VCI-300 is a dedicated USB MIDI controller for the included Serato DJ software. It also comes with a built in audio interface with standard 4in/4out and headphone connection, which means all you need for DJing is the VCI-300, a laptop and a set of headphones.New features such as the [Emergency Thru Switch], which avoids the sound from stopping when the computer freezes, is an added feature from study of user feedback. Another is the new weight reduced JOG wheel and the adjustable JOG wheel torque mechanism to avoid vibration from low frequency feedback.
