Welcome back!

This MIDI device is not yet supported by Cross. Do you own a MixVibes 6 version?

thank you.

well that explains a few things then. the option did come up in the preferences for DJ console thou? hmmm

no i havent got 6, iv never really got really in to it properly and once i get sorted there always seem to be a new product out then i get confused even more..

i nearly bout the DVS version and invested in some decks but never got round to it.. i tried a demo of 6 but didnt really like it..
im not serious DJ i just like playing, it chills me out..

i tried a package off here about 6 months ago, not sure what it was but it was really good, loops where spot on. but not sure what it was no..

my memory is failing me.

Not yet. You should take a look at version 7.

Did you try version 7 demo from our website? http://www.mixvibes.com/site/pageeng/page.php?x=demos

my memory is failing me.

Did you try to eat some fish? :D

hello all.
as i was saying the old mixes vibes works, but the new home addition has no joy with the DJ console..
iv tried alsorts now with no luck. the learn function doesnt appear to work and i pressume its because the mixvibes home addition isnt recognising it in the first place. when i load the old mixvibes a light comes on the DJ console when i load the new one no light appears so im pressuming its not finding the console in the first place any help?

- Did you go to [Preferences > Options > MIDI], check 'activate', choose for device and MIDI File 'Hercules DJ Console ...' then click on OK?
