Accessible DJ software

By DoubleM, 20 March, 2018

Hello from Washington, DC. Here's a question for my blind DJ's. I currently use the IDJ Pro controller, of which I'm very pleased. However, has anyone been successful with other models such as the Relupe Beatpad or the Pioneer SFX?

Hi!

Hi!
To me, it seems that the only requirement for a controller is that there are physical buttons, cursors and so on. Now, as far as software is concerned (which, actually is your topic's subject) it is more complicated as neither Traktor, Ableton or Serato seem accessible (unless I'm mistaken? If so, then please let me know). My personal setup is quite simple, but it meets my needs (which is the production of a weekly 2-hour electronic-music radio show with all tracks live in the mix (and bpm ranging from about 110 to 150 or 160 bpm). I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with MacOs' latest version. I use Djay Pro 2 and Pioneer's DDJ Wego 4, which is a very simple 2-deck controller.. My choice was guided by the following requirements: total software compatibility (which I made sure of on the company's website) a minimum amount of buttons (to avoid manipulation errors as much as possible) and a customisable midi mapping, so that I could assign a software function to each controller key. So, to know if the equipment you want meet your needs, I think these are the questions you need to investigate.

yes I use a beatpad

Hello, I do use the Reloop Beatpad. I like it a lot. I purchased it about a month or something before the beatpad 2 came out. So even though it is one gen behind, I like it and does what I like on both Mac and Ios. I can use the beatpad for all three devices. That being said, I have been looking to a controler which has 4 decks to take advantage of 4 decks in DJ pro. But not super urgent because I can stay busy with 2 decks. Also, I have really wanting to check the controlers with motorized platters, again not urgent as they are expensive and I am just missing the feel and movement of turntables. Question for you guys. Are you using braille as well?

I have not recently tested it but I know that DJAY Pro had explicit VO support as mentioned here:
