This week’s glimpse of the future confirms that Serato are indeed adding software effects to our DJ software. 

Vestax have officially lifted the lid on the VFX-1, their new effects component for the ITCH platform.

The Vestax VFX-1 has a powerful range of effects that are hosted within Serato ITCH 2.0. This is the very first product that will enable Serato DJ FX.

The Vestax VFX-1 is styled to match the popular Vestax VCI-300 but will also work with other ITCH DJ controllers.

"The focus of the ITCH project has been the development of future DJ controllers. The second generation ITCH components allow for a more customizable setup for professional DJs. They also compliment the current all-in-one ITCH hardware for those wanting a more advanced DJ rig," reports Sam Gribben.

Serato ITCH version 2.0 is scheduled for delivery during Q4 2009 and will support more flexible configurations, hardware types and an array of features designed by the worlds leading brands to empower future DJs.
