Korg iPad Apps. Ok, they are a bit expensive but go a check them out. They can communicate via WIST technology, a Wi-Fi midi stop start app, and they look totally having it! I think they can be used alongside Ableton and thats really what I'm after from an iPad app now. I've had enough of toys, I want something serious that I can actually use on the road to write tracks.
BPM trade fair
Monday (after my Hydraulix birthday party weekend, ouch!)
Once again myself and Mark EG (this time accompanied by the lovely Chrissi) set off to the yearly BPM trade fair at Birmingham's massive NEC area. This time I was playing a small DJ set at the Mixvibes stand.
The next step in timecode performance is here. All our scratch products now contain Native Scratch technology - delivering tight, accurate performance via TRAKTOR SCRATCH MK2 timecode* for fully authentic vinyl feel.
The first ever Native Instruments iPhone®, iPod touch® and iPad®* App is an intuitive beat sketchpad based on MASCHINE’s groove production studio concept. iMASCHINE is perfect for developing song ideas anytime, anywhere.
At least, that's the blurb.....
Here's the blurb from Native Instruments about their new Studio Drummer software which you can use with Kontakt 5.
I have to say I went and checked out the audio clips online and it is extremely convincing, it even plays drum solos!
Sorry to be lazy, the text of this article is taken directly from the Reloop Promotion mailout.
I have to say though, the fact that it integrates directly with Traktor is a BIG plus point in my opinion, read on.....
The nice chaps at Mixvibes asked me to test out their new DJ controller the U-Mix Control Pro.
It's an All-in-One DJ Solution and comes packaged with Cross 1.5.1 Which is their excellent digital vinyl software.
Reloop scores a big hit at the NAMM show with the Jockey 3. In one of the most important categories and within a first-class environment Reloop's Jockey 3 was voted as winner in the category „Best New Controller“ by leading technology portal DJTechTools.com. This "Nammy" rewards Reloop's continuous technical and functional further development in our core segment of digital controllers as well as holding on to uncompromising quality standards.
