Mixars 140101008 "Quattro-4ch" Pro Serato DJ Mixer

Product Information

Currently, there isn’t a comparable product to the Mixars Quattro on the market. For Serato users who have been asking for a modern four-channel mixer with hardware controls for Serato DJ Pro, the Mixars Quattro delivers. It’s built solid, has all of the inputs and outputs a DJ could ask for and comes in at a great price. When you’re finished mapping, press the MIDI Map Mode button again to disable it.

The Mixars Quattro features stereo send and return ports that allow you to connect effects units into the mixer. The wet and dry amount can be controlled with the mixer, allowing you to integrate your favourite equipment. Connect your external effects unit, and utilise both your external effects and the built-in effects produce a unique mix. Ideal For Clubs & Home Setups NOTE: Hardware drivers & firmware are the responsibility of the hardware manufacturer. Please get in touch directly with the hardware manufacturer if you have any further questions. Supported hardware The Mixars Quattro includes a range of features for spicing up your mixes. It allows you to add in your own hot cue points, samples, and play them whilst mixing to create a unique performance. It is also MIDI mappable, allowing you to use Serato DJ to map MIDI events to the available buttons on the mixer. The dual USB ports make DJ switch-overs a breeze, allowing you to keep both USBs plugged in at all times. There are 2 microphone inputs, allowing you to make announcements. The loop rotary control knob controls the loop and loop roll function in Serato DJ. By pressing it down you can activate a loop. By rotating it, you can change the size of the loop. The mixer also features line/phone outs for connecting up both cd/media players, as well as Serato timecode vinyls/turntables. The mixer also features a 5th fader for controlling the volume level of samples. Connect External EquipmentThis mixer does come up short in a couple of areas. As a scratch DJ, I wish it came with a better crossfader, but after the Galileo Essential crossfader upgrade, I don’t have any crossfader complaints. The quality of the built-in effects isn’t on the same level as what you would find on Pioneer DJ mixers, but they aren’t terrible. Finally, I wish the Quattro had a way to switch from the full-kill isolator EQ mode to a classic EQ mode for more flexibility. Ableton Live Suite includes many more Audio and MIDI effects compared to Standard, so if you want to ensure you have everything, we recommend going with Ableton Live Suite. How to connect the Quattro to ableton Mappings are saved along with your Ableton session. Therefore, if a new session is created, you must re-map all of your controls. Ableton MIDI mappings are one-to-one

Depending on whether you use Timecode Vinyl (Turntables) or Timecode CDs (CD Players) please perform the following steps: The following hardware is not supported with Serato DJ when used with macOS 11 Big Sur (or by extension, Apple Silicon/M1 computers). The Microphone inputs are not part of the USB Audio interface, so these cannot be added in VirtualDJ Audio setup and will not control the software Microphone section in the MASTER panel of VirtualDJ GUI and vice versa.Set the Phono/Line switcher in each input to the appropriate position depending on whether you connected a turntable or cd-player on the step above. The more advanced counterpart to the Duo, Mixars's Quattro is a four-channel Serato mixer with extensive dedicated controls, including RGB performance pads and Sampler functions. Improved jog wheel touch response. (Make sure to re-calibrate the jog wheel touch after firmware update) The effects sections of the Mixars Quattro is a mixed bag. The Quattro has a good selection of effects which includes four channel effects and 14 BPM-synced beat effects which are all post-fader, but overall they don’t sound as good as effects you’d find on Pioneer DJ mixers.
