Can the GMX work without a laptop?

Yes. It plays MP3 and WAV files directly from a USB drive, with hot cues, loops, reverse and filter available on each deck.

Does it come with DJ software?

Yes, VirtualDJ LE V8 is included. It is a limited edition, so advanced features need a full VirtualDJ license.

What can I connect to the outputs?

Balanced XLR and RCA master outputs, an RCA booth output with its own volume, and 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch headphone jacks on the front.

Does it have a BPM counter or beat effects?

No BPM counter. The only built-in sound effect is a filter per deck; other effects come from the software.

How big and heavy is it?

About 20 inches wide, 11 inches deep and 1.6 inches tall, weighing 3 kg, so it fits most desks and bags.

Is it good for a beginner?

Yes for learning the basics on a standalone unit, but the missing BPM counter and small screens mean you will beatmatch by ear.
