or if i use umcp2 can it come from that output ,
powering the tablet while useing ,, hows that done ,,

any answers or info pointing the correct way ,,would be helpful

I guess this makes clear how much info is available in the faq..

Otg cable = cable that can handle otg standard. E.g. Multiple usb devices.

Umcp2 is not listed... Only U-Mix Control Pro...

Audio via headphone.. To use cue a DJ splitter is needed. This splits l/r from device into l/l and r/r for output. So you have 2 mono out on each plug.
According to the faq when using Android L an external sound card may/will work... Not sure which of the options applies...

Powering.. Powered USB hub. Check the faq for link to vid.

looks promising haga 46
went and downloaded the full app ,,Cross DJ pro
dont think i need to regerster the software licence key
researched the splitter cables and a otg cable and a powered usb hub ,, gonna get them step at a time ,,
played with the app for a little bit ,,put one 1 hour long mix in the libary ,,wav file ,, just to test ,,think wav file too big ,,

[daniel clark]

got the app ,,runs smooth with mp3 ,,not so smooth with 70min wav files,,still happy ,,

otg cable ,,,,nothing more than the charging/connecting cable to a computer
powered usb hub ...ac powered and able to connect more than two

[haga46]

An otg cable lets you connect something (usb stick or device) with your tablet without needing a PC
This is an otg cable http://www.conrad.be/ce/nl/product/9867 ... ggest=true just check you've got the wright connector for your tablet
Some info over otg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go

And for a powerd usb hub, i've got this one http://www.conrad.be/ce/nl/product/9863 ... archDetail

Hope this helps you out

very helpful ,,been researching it ,,
so otg has the female socket to accept the male usb plug
do you have to use a male/male usb connector to connect to the powered usb hub ,,
intent is to use U-Mix Control Pro 2 to control by MIDI,,
this is all speculative ,,as the umcp2 might not be mapped ,, seen different info on this ,, so its a 50/50 chance ,,don't need this if its a negitive ,,
will be getting a 32 gig micro sd card just out of reasoning that its will help out in the long run no matter what the use ,, thanks for the info ,,gotta say here thats a tough app ,,with the touch screen ,,
any idea on getting the installed samples to use with the PC version , ,, will try to figure out how to tranfer them

:idea: very helpful ,,been researching it ,,

OTG cable has some intelligence to handle different devices connected. A normal usb cable has no intelligence.

do you have to use a male/male usb connector to connect to the powered usb hub ,,

Yes. all 'normal' usb connections are always male/male, as the equipment always is female. Extension of USB cable can be done but most cables loose power over its length, so you need high quality extension cable. Also be aware there are 3 basic types of usb cable: data+power (most), power only and data only.

intent is to use U-Mix Control Pro 2 to control by MIDI,,
this is all speculative ,,as the umcp2 might not be mapped ,, seen different info on this ,, so its a 50/50 chance ,,don't need this if its a negitive ,,

The play store info states UMCP2... so you can get a refund if it doesn't work

Haven't checked were the files are, but most tabs can be connected to the PC and via explorer you can copy files.
