Algoriddim’s djay software is a great match for the iPad so you’ve got no worries there. You’ve got a few choices nowadays, including the Numark iDJ Pro and the Vestax Spin2, to name just a couple. Even traditionally non-iPad controllers are wrestlig in on the action, thans to “backward engineering” involving the Apple Camera Connection Kit (I’m thinking specifically of these Pioneer controllers).
From Vestax, Spin2 is an all-in-one DJ controller designed together with Algoriddim, the creators of the popular music mixing app djay for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Spin2 plug and plays with Algoriddim djay, bypassing complicated setups to immediately mix songs from your iTunes library. Jul 10, 2018 If you have done everything right, plug your controller into your iOS device and run djay Pro or Cross DJ Pro. Your controller should work with the app. Problems You Might Encounter. Some controllers, like the VCI-300MK2 I used, and other controllers with optional power adapter, need much more power than what an iOS device can supply.
However, rather than detail the pros and cons of the units I have tried (as I haven’t spent much time with any of them), I thought this would be a nice one to throw over to the readers.
So, readers: Do you use Algoriddim’s djay software with the iPad? And if so what controller do you use? What are the pros/cons of your particular unit? And would you buy it again? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

To get started, simply launch djay Pro, connect your MIDI controller, and follow the instructions in the app (or select “Configure” from the MIDI menu in djay).
