Hey, what’s up everybody? It’s DJ Ty from agiprodj.com. Well, that’s loud. Today, we’re checking out the Ecler EVO4. Lots callers from people, everyone wants to know what mixer can I use with video Scratch Live. So, I’ve got running here. It’s a video plug in for Serator Scratch Live, works with any Rane hardware, the SL1, SL3. And they were showing up the Ecler EVO4. This is a Four-Channel Mixer, Two-Fix processors. It’s also full midi. And it’s midi over USBs, so I’ve got USB cable connected into my Mac Book Pro. I’ll just show you how simply it is. I honestly I’ve done anything. I actually undid everything that I’ve done already.
So just plug it in. All right click on midi. And what I want to do is map the video crossfader and that’s what these pieces here. You roll on this says, “Unassigned midi, click to assign.” So if I click it, it turns red. It says, “Move the midi control.” All you do is [demonstration].” And now says, “Assign to midi input.” And you can see it moving on the screen.”
So, I’ve got it on a quick cad so it’s [demonstration]. People ask, you know, is it laggy? How is the midi? How is the functionality? I heard from people that it’s slow. It lags behind me. You can see right here, it doesn’t lag. So, it doesn’t line up chore right there, but you get the idea. You can pick different video transitions, add it on the scratch transition, which is just about as hard to a cut as you can get. We can put on a grid. Rick, is there a way you can come back from like these angle so that they can see these kinds of three pieces.
You can see it’s [demonstration]. It’s a different effect. So I’ll just grab another one—pretty responsive. That’s just one particular effect. Let me grab another one really quick. It’s not laggy at all—super, super, super smooth.
So all right, that just a quick overview of midi mapping, the Ecler EVO4 is definitely one of the mixers. If you’re looking to spend video, this is the way to do it. It requires having a midi mixer. You need to have that controller. You integrate your audio and the video together, and a midi mixer is the way to do it. You can definitely use an external controller. In fact, I’d almost suggest doing it, getting something like a trigger finger or a pad control or NPD 32, have that upon on other stand here and that will give you the ability to map all your cues or your loop points. You can map your effects triggering it.
But that’s an essential thing that you need is this, is that ability. When you move this crossfader, to move audio, is that you’re moving video with the crossfader. And that’s the only way you’re going to have that smooth fade. And if you fade the songs together, so goes your video.
So that’s the only way to do it. I mean this is the way to do video DJing. Yeah you can do it with a mouse. That’s a lot of fun because you can do this all night. That’s no fun. You can do it with the keyboard. That’s no fun either. So, you need a mixer with midi controller on it and the Ecler EVO4 is definitely a choice mixer to have.
