Not directed to you but just wondering aloud why someone would drop the coin to get something like that when you could do everything and so much more on a lap top.

[NeVeRLooKBacK]

I should get myself one of them too

[dj_precise]

Although you could go the route and use a laptop to mix tracks on this alows you to mix with an actual mixer. That is way more practical than using a mouse to click the fader from one side to the other.
This kinda looks cool but there is no pitch control?????

Lap tops hook up to mixers?

[tvmann]

It's probably a Numark product like a "concept car" just to try things out and for PR. But I've read that there are clubs in New York area where they let people plug their iPods into the sound system - each iPod owner selects their fave tunes and if they get applause they can stay hooked in, otherwise another iPod person gets the next shift

I use a laptop and midi box so I have mixer-like knobs and fader to adjust rather than doing everything by mouse & keyboard

Two thumbs down for Ipod mixing.

[decypher]

repost.

[Akeel]

old news.

[dj_soo]

i wonder how hard it would be to hack into the OS for the ipod and create a pitch control subroutine that could be accessed via a device like that?

[FireWire]

It's hard to hack into the OS of the iPod. The holders of the iPod OS are not letting any of these DJ companies to edit their software. No source code has been given out - thus the lack of pitch control on all devices that use iPods for mixing.

Howerver, I heard that someone is pretty close to hacking the scroll wheel of the iPod to make it so that you will be able to scratch your tunes. Hahahhaa...

There isn't any yet.

In order for that to happen, they either need to create a built-in hard drive which will take a whole song from the iPod and store it in the memory for pitch adjustments - or they need to modify the iPod OS to be able to control the speed of the track on the fly through a connection port.

None have been done yet.

I could see Hawtin making decent use out of these in that case, and few others.

It would be cooler to use an ipod as a sampler, and just loop effects at different tempos. EDIT: throw in some fx, and perfect timing. Do you know how many seconds of sampling time you would have? shit mountains!

and by that you mean the future of dj's with ipods, which suck anyway. ;) :)
