How to set up decks AND U-Mix Controller?

Hi, I have Cross with the U-Mix Control Pro controller. I want to set up my Vestax decks and 3 channel mixer to use on the same system, but be able to use either vinyl controls or the U-Mix without reconfiguring my setup. How do I do this, and can I do this without having to buy a separate audio interface?
Does anyone have an image of the setup needed??
Thanks!

This is a pretty default setup which you can find in the manual.

connect decks to inputs of U-Mix Control Pro
Set audio settings in Cross

After this in Cross you have the mixer section in the center where you can select with the 'A' and 'B' button if you want to use the inputs or the decks (for use of audio vinyl).
Else setup timecode if this is what you want.

If your mixer has features to act as a sound card you may use these as audio inputs.

BTW you can use your keyboard or a MIDI device to instantly switch between the input source for the mixer (line/phono or deck).

Thanks very much. and re timecode vinyl, does it have to be Cross vinyl, or will any timecode vinyl work? Struggling to find a good place to buy Cross vinyl, seems to be being phased out maybe?

It has to be Cross vinyl or with similar tc frequency.

You're not alone in trying to find the last distributed tc. It's not clear when new tc will be available for shipment.
