Easy as 1, 2, 3,…

GrandVJ is very easy to customize to each user’s preferred setup. The interface can quickly be modified to fit individual needs and preferences. Mapping MIDI controllers with the new learn mode is easy as pressing keys on your device but you can also import predefined presets for the most common MIDI controllers.

Bidirectional communication

Cherry on the cake, GrandVJ allows bidirectional communication with controllers supporting generic MIDI feedback like Livid’s Block and the APC40 from Akai. This great feature allows the software to send information to the controller so that, for example, switching layers will reflect parameter changes to the unit and you can focus on your mix without the need to look at your monitor.

On the mixing side, GrandVJ comes with an updated ArKaos effects library and a long list of automated video generators. It will play and mix mostly any video file you throw at it – yes, including VOB, DIVX and MKV, with sound – GrandVJ also offers extensive support for various other media including most image formats; Flash text and animations; and multiple camera inputs that can be used as Sources and mixed live with Effects.
