Hey all,
Has anyone used the Roland Aira Compact series products in their sets combined with Virtual DJ?
I'm a DJ & percussionist, and I can't call myself a producer (sadly) but they look really fun! https://www.roland.com/uk/categories/aira/aira_compact/
I'd love to add in voice loops / drum beats / grooves from the Aira Compacts into my sets.
I want to find out if it's possible to integrate them into my VIrtual DJ setup onto a 3rd deck, and read the BPM of the mix via a MIDI clock? (or maybe I just have to manually beat match just like the good old days)
I have very limited knowledge when it comes to MIDI etc, so be gentle with me! 😆
But if anyone's got any advice, I'd be very grateful!
All the best from Oxfordshire, UK!

I've got the E-4 Voice Tweaker. The output feeds into a line input of my controller rather than into VDJ directly. There's also no need to sync as it's a voice effect.

Thanks @GroovinDJ, Roland's demo video mentions automatically detecting BPM of loops, and taking MIDI signals, so I'm wondering if it can pick up the BPM out of the VDJ. https://youtu.be/wuhEeqNZhsE?t=700

If a USB device is seen as MIDI in VirtualDJ, you can set it as a Midi Clock Output .. https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtualdj/settings/controllers.html#midiclock

I just tried connecting the E-4 via USB and VDJ lists it under controllers, enabling me to right click and select it as a clock output. When a track is running, the E-4 displays a flashing dot to show sync. If/when the track stops, the E-4 shows the BPM it detected.
Presumably if you then connected the other devices via their own sync jacks, they'd all follow.
