How to Use a DM2 Controller on a Virtual DJ Program
Virtual DJ is midi format software program designed to mix different beats and tracks for musical compositions. Created by Atomix Productions, this software replaced the aging AtomixMP3. Virtual DJ does not natively support Digital Music Mixer (DM^2) scratch board controller. This means that you will need to convert the software signal through the use of DM^2 to midi software. Because of this, the scratch tools might not work as well as they should, but everything else is functional.
