Then you can move the wheel backwards and forwards to adjust where you are in the song – a “scratch”. You’ll be using the jogwheels a lot with this unit, and I’m pleased to say they’re high-quality, sharing the same functionality as with Vestax’s other DJ controllers. If you touch the metal part of the wheel, it is as if you are touching and holding a record on a normal turntable – the music stops. It is a funky red and black colour with brushed metal jogwheels, which seems to have divided opinion out there I think it looks pretty good, but it’s a personal taste of course.

For both the PC (with drivers supplied) and Mac (no drivers necessary), it is a plug-and-play device, coming with Traktor LE (a cut-down version of the industry-standard DJ software), a USB cable and some quick start instruction. The Vestax Typhoon takes its power from the computer, so no need for a power supply in the vast majority of cases. The Typhoon comes with driver CD, quick start manual and USB cable. As such, this is less of a niche product.

Furthermore, the Spin only controls Algoriddim’s djay software (that integrates tightly with iTunes) while this controls industry-standard Traktor. It is heavily related to the Vestax Spin, however, the latter is Mac-only, while this is for PC (including 64-bit for Vista and Windows 7, but not AMD) and Mac. There’s a microphone socket too for you budding mobile jocks. This means you just need a hi-fi, some powered speakers (such as good computer speakers) or another way of playing the music, plus a pair of headphones, and you’re off. It has a soundcard built-in, saving you the need to buy a DJ soundcard separately – unlike some other DJ controllers like Vestax’s own VCI-100 and the cheaper Numark Mixtrack. If you’re looking for a budget way to get into digital DJing, you now have the Vestax Typhoon controller to add to your shortlist.
