nineOnine for the iPad – TR-909 emulation

·0 comments·

The “nineOnine” for iPad is a simple sample-based emulation of Roland’s classic TR-909 drum machine. With its look and feel the “nineOnine” draws close comparison to the original hardware device. The “nineOnine” not only emulates the sound but also the logic of programming and saving rhythm patterns, giving you that extra blast from the past.

New Pioneer DJ Controller – More Details – New Video

·0 comments·

Thanks to Phil Morse we came across this new video of the new (little) Pioneer DJ Controller which will be presented and officially released on the 29th of september at the BPM Show. This new controller will cost ‘considerably’ less then its two ‘fathers’, the DDJ-T1 and the DDJ-S1. We heart some rumours that it would be named the DDJ-T2, but we have our doubts as the controller will be shipped with a custom skinned version of the Virtual DJ Software.

This video is to me like ‘a sign of the times‘. With the ‘fast’ evolution of DJ’ing and the equipment used by DJs this video shows exactly what’s going on these days. Komatsushima is using a Pioneer DJM-900, CDJ-2000, EFX-1000, Ableton Live, an iPad, Korg Kaossilator and Touch OSC to do a ‘mash-up’ of “Diabla (Metrik Remix)” by Funk D’ Void and “Flashback (Accapella)” by Calvin Harris.

New Pioneer DJ Controller – Teaser Video

·0 comments·

This past week Pioneer put a picture of a new DJ controller on their Facebook page. The general view or expectations were that it would be a ‘smaller’, ‘lighter’ version of their recent released DDJ-T1 / DDJ-S1 controllers. Looking at the video we can only say yes and no. The controller clearly has the Pioneer ‘LOOK’ but then again it also stand its own ground when it comes to design. Just see for yourself. After watching the video we just desperately want those details about this new controller. Pioneer’s statement: “…. coming soon!”
