NEW GADGET TODAY

[Jhone]

Alexei Lyapunov dan Lena Ehrlich ini mungkin bisa membantu para mania tekno yang sering meminjamkan flashdisk namun tidak dikembalikan lagi. Sungguh mengesalkan bukan?



Konsep yang terlihat di Art Lebedev, dirancang oleh Alexei Lyapunov dan Lena Ehrlich ini bisa memberikan solusi bagi kita, flashdisk 8 atau 16 GB dicetak di kertas karton sehingga ongkos produksinya sangat murah. Jadi para mania tekno cukup merobek satu, lalu memberikannya pada teman. Sejauh ini masih dalam tahap konsep.

Jika dilihat dari bentuk dan kecanggihannya memang teknologi yang akan datang benar – benar sangat fantastis. TriBook dengan tiga konsep layar ultra lebar. Ia juga memiliki sebuah 8x SuperDrive, 1TB harddisk, dan MacBook Pro-calibre CPU, plus sebuah keyboard multitouch trackpad.
Generasi laptop masa depan.

dibuat oleh industri desainer Jerman Felix Schmidberger, model classy, elegan, futuristik laptop yang menggunakan OLED touchscreen.



Barangkali lebih tepat disebut Paper PC karena bentuknya yang seperti lembaran kertas berupa layar sebagai antar muka dan dilengkapi pena untuk mengoperasikannya dengan cara touch screen.
Didesain oleh Avery Holleman.
Laptop yang mempunyai dua layar dengan desain mirip buku, saya lebih suka kalau barang itu disebut Digital Book. Prototipe dari XO-2 dan One Laptop Per Child (OLPC).



Layar lipat 3-in-1 merupakan inovasi yang cukup menawan pada produk konsep ini.
Pertanyaannya: Apakah pengguna Mac memang memerlukan layar selebar itu ?

Over a decade ago, Korg changed the DJ/music scene with its first-generation Kaoss Pad, a touchpad-based effect controller. Since then, the popular X-Y touchpad has appeared in many Korg products. Now, Korg is taking effects control one step further with the new Kaoss Pad Quad, which employs new effects, functions and features that let users create their own combination of Kaoss effects with simultaneous control of up to four effects in real-time using a single fingertip on its touchpad. Any audio source can be processed: an MP3 player, a mixing board, an instrument or even vocals via the unit's mic input.

As users tap, slide or move their finger across the intuitive X-Y touchpad interface, the effect parameters will change, producing dramatic real-time transformations in the sound. The brilliant, colorful LED touchpad illuminates in an intense variety of colors, which change depending on the state of the effects, the BPM setting and hand motions on the touchpad.

Designed to be both usable and highly playable as an effect processor, the Kaoss Pad Quad allows the user to simultaneously control up to four effects from the touchpad. Each of the four effect modules – Looper, Modulation, Filter and Delay/Reverb – contains five options (plus a module kill), for a total of 1,295 combinations. Effects are chosen directly from the front panel for easy access during live performance. By rhythmically adding successive effects, or switching effects on and off as a song progresses, the Kaoss Pad Quad can add variation and development to the structure of any song. Even the simplest beat can be creatively affected to produce something entirely new.

Another unique feature is the Freeze button, which offers even more versatile control of effects. For each of the four effect modules, Freeze memorizes the position at which the user was last touching the touchpad, effectively "freezing" the state that effect was last in, even after release of the finger. By touching the touchpad again while Freeze is enabled, only the "unfrozen" effects will be controlled.

In addition to more traditional effects (flanger, low/high-pass filter, delay and reverb), the Kaoss Pad Quad offers many new types of effects:

Multi-Mode Looper for looping a part of a song; the number of beats is controlled by the location touched. Three types of looping are provided: the standard Looper, the Rev Looper (Reverse Looper which plays the looped phrase backward) and the Loop Slicer, which divides the phrase and lets the loop-play only a specific portion. Additionally, users can switch between the different looper types by sliding their finger up and down the touchpad as the loop plays, producing radical new beats on a whim.

Vinyl Break turntable effects, which allow users to create all the standard turntable rotation effects, including scratching, slow-down/speed up, stop and more.

Ducking Comp, creating effects of a "ducking compressor," which has become a staple in music production.

Additionally, the proprietary Auto BPM engine automatically detects the tempo/BPM of the song that's playing or the audio source. Users can also use the BPM knob to make fine adjustments. Alternatively, the BPM can be set manually using the Tap Tempo function.

Love them or loathe them (I frequently do at the same time), laptops have become as important as any other part of your DJ setup these days. But for 99.99% recurring of people, laptops are an off-the-shelf purchase with very little leeway for customisation. But enter OOVJ - the ultimate in computer in a box DJ specific functionality. Andrew Unsworth positively giggled like a schoolgirl when Valeway said yes to a demo unit. What follows is another Unsworth epic review.

It's fair to say that the OOVJ isn't going to appeal to everyone, but it definitely does have a market. If it didn't, the OODJ before it wouldn't have stuck around long enough to become the OOVJ. For the super busy mobile DJ running weddings, private parties, corporate events etc for a living, OOVJ is likely to be a perfect hardwearing jack of all trades box of tricks that you know will just work and probably keep on working too.

Sadly, I didn't get a chance to fondle this particular unit for myself, so the photography is supplied by Valeway as well as a scattering of Andrew's own pictures. But it's the words that matter really, and he's certainly got enough of those to go round. The review is right here.

Life is full of coincidences. Yesterday, I was finishing a headphone review where I described my really totally normal ears that are blessed with a lack of the antitragus to keep basic earphones in place. And bugger me if Allen & Heath decided that now would be a good time to bring out their Xone XD-20 bud types that'll just push right into my ears without the need for that pointless fleshy bit. Having thought about it, I feel fairly bad for all you freaks who have that deformity. I'm sure there's a support group for all you ear mutants. Not me though - hell no. My ears are just fine.

Official words and all that stuff:
ALLEN & HEATH LAUNCHES XONE IN-EAR HEADPHONES

Allen & Heath has unveiled the latest offering from its range of Xone headphones, the XD-20 in-ear monitors. Complementing Xone XD-53 and XD-40 professional DJ headphones, the XD-20s provide a set of quality, lightweight headphones designed for track browsing and replay.

The XD-20s' acoustic properties have been optimised for electronic music reproduction, providing extended bass and crisp, detailed highs. They are also designed for comfort, with lightweight construction, soft ear seals, and excellent noise isolation.

Xone design manager, Andy Rigby-Jones, comments:

"Our professional Xone monitoring headphones have earned the respect of some of the world's most renowned DJs. With the XD-20s, we wanted to offer off duty DJs - or any user – a pair of quality compact headphones designed for electronic music reproduction. We were determined to create an in-ear design that delivers meaty bass to get a sense of how a track will work on a club PA system."

The XD20 headphones are available immediately. SRP: £49 + VAT.

www.allen-heath.com

Specifications:
• Type: Closed back Dynamic
• Driver Diameter: Ø13.6mm
• Frequency Response: 20~20,000Hz
• Maximum Input Power: 100mW
• Sensitivity: 105dB/mW
• Impedance: 17ohms
• Weight: 12g
• Cable: 1.2m (Y-Type)

Having spent more time than necessary with endless pairs of headphones in the last year, I realised that my not in any way freakish lugs may be in need of some inner ear love. So I've decided to do an inner ear group test this year. Ideally this will cover a range of off-the-shelf models, as well as trying to persuade a specialist to squirt goo into my ear canal in the name of providing reviews. More on that later in the year.

[Jhone]

Having spent many years wondering through the foggy audio wasteland of home hifi loudspeakers, you can imagine just how Dolbyfied my life became when I finally got a pair of proper studio monitors. And I suspect that many of you reading this will still be linking your expensive DJ setup to some crappy 80s MIDI system, but blaming the resulting muffled mess on your mixer right? Go on... treat yourself to a pair of real monitors, like these S-DJ05s from Pioneer. Your ears will thanks you for it. Once again, Andrew Unsworth steps into the breach and offers his opinions.











It probably goes without saying that these are all about audio fidelity rather than filling a large room full of intestine rupturing bass. And while the S-DJ05s do offer a degree of audio adjustment, but you still have to make sure that what goes into them is still good.

Anyway, here's the review.



REVIEW UPDATE: The hiss issue Andrew has highlighted is being proactively investigated by Pioneer. It is though to be isolated to the review units supplied to us and not the norm. Pioneer will obviously update us in due course as to whether we have identified something of concern, of if as suspected the review units will be humanely destroyed for their own good. Respect due to Pioneer for not throwing their considerable weight around and demanding that the review be taken down. Transparency is important with such things.

Ratings

Build Quality
Built like a Bentley and just as sleek.

Sound quality
Crystal clear and loud enough for a home studio. Only 'problem' is a conspicuous hiss when nothing is playing through them.

Features and Implementation
There are plenty of inputs, EQs and informative LEDs on each monitor. Also worthy of praise is the cleverly designed remote control.

Value for Money
You're going to pay a premium for the Pioneer logo, but when the product is this good, why not?

Bottom Line

Not only are the S-DJ05s exceptionally pretty, they possess a build quality and feature set that is at once luxurious and practical. The sound quality – to my ears – is first-rate. There are plenty of inputs and the remote control makes using the S-DJ05s a joy. £500 is a lot of cash, but you get your money's worth.

Anda sudah tahu barebone PC? yaitu PC kecil kotak yang bisa dibawa kemana-mana dengan mudah. Tapi apakah Anda bisa memasukkannya ke dalam kantong? Wow, kali ini ada CPU PC Desktop yang kecil dan mini banget karena  ukurannya hanya 2 x 2 x 2.2 inci menjadikannya PC Desktop yang bisa dimasukkan ke kantong Anda. PC desktop super mini ini pun bisa menjalankan sistem operasi Linux.
Wah cukup ringkas ya, tidak perlu untuk membawa cpu yang besar dan berat. Dengan spesifikasi yang masih rendah ini diharapkan ke depannya akan terus dilakukan penelitian dan pengembangan dari komputer ini. Bila anda pernah melihat komputer apple yang berbentuk seperti kotak makan maka ini hanyalah 1/4 nya. Dengan tampilan yang mirip suatu terminal usb, mmc dan inputan lain maka komputer ini lebih terlihat seperti memory card reader. Tidak heran pada nantinya kita hanya butuh rental monitor saja dengan membawa kompi masing-masing

Inilah spesifikasi PC super mungil ini:
300 mhz atom
64MB of SDRAM
external video connector
supports 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Flash memory card slot

Traffic light di masa depan mungkin akan seperti ini. Hanyoung Lee sang pembuatnya menawarkannya dengan nama Virtual Wall. Sistem ini memakai laser plasma yang ditempatkan dimana orang biasa menyebrang dan memproyeksikan bayangan orang yang menyebrang ke dinding cahaya sehingga bisa langsung terlihat oleh pengemudi.

Hal ini bisa jadi alternatif solusi di kawasan dengan penerangan buruk, cuaca buruk ataupun rawan kecelakaan. Ditempat seperti itu, pengemudi sulit mengenali zebra cross atau persimpangan, lebih-lebih dimalam hari. Dengan menggunakan laser untuk menciptakan dinding cahaya, yang menerangi zebra cross, sistem ini akan benar-benar terlihat dan terkesan sangat futuristik.

Ada peluang bisnis yang menarik pula. Sudah ada pembicaraan untuk menggunakan sistem ini untuk iklan. Bayangkan seperti baliho cahaya yang tepat di depan mata pengemudi yang berhenti di lampu merah.
Terlepas dari itu, keuntungan bagi pejalan kaki jelas lebih besar. Tidak ada lagi alasan bagi pengendara yang menyerobot dengan alasan tak melihat lampu merah menyala, karena ukurannya yang besar dan jelas.
Virtual Wall masih dalam konsep dan belum ada kepastian kapan diproduksi.

Some of us spend the boring hours just tapping on the desk and turn it into an improvised drum. Imagine if that leisurely activity can be turned into the next musical genius.



Korg introduces the Wavedrum Mini drum synthesizer, consisting of a singular digital drum pad and a built-in 1.3W speaker. It features an extensive list of sounds that include strings, synth tones, and percussion instruments. The Wavedrum Mini is also packed with 100 present rhythms, as well as a loop function to build multiple layers of beats.



The highlight of the Wavedrum is its clip-on sensor that can be attached to almost anything; tables, paper cups, the sneaker you are wearing, name it.



Expect the Korg Wavedrum Mini to become available on the third quarter of 2011. Pricing is still unavailable.

Konsep video 3D memang sedang naik daun, dan hal tersebut dimanfaatkan benar oleh para produsen kamera dengan membuat kamera yang mampu merekam gambar format 3 dimensi. GoPro salah satunya, lewat karya mereka 3D Hero Camera System. Didasari ide untuk menggabungkan dua buah lensa HD 1080p dalam satu perangkat, membuatnya mampu merekam video dan foto untuk format 3D dan 2D sekaligus. Adanya sinkronisasi kabel penghubunglah yang membuat hal itu menjadi mungkin.



3D Hero bisa mengantarkan penggunanya mencapai standar profesional. Kamera ini juga sudah memiliki 'rumah anti air' sehingga bisa tetap digunakan sambil menyelam. Pada paket pembeliannya, disertakan pula software 3D-Studio-GoPRo Cineform untuk memudahkan pengguna mengkonversi hasil gambar 3D dan menontonnya di layar laptop atau untuk sekedar diunggah ke YouTube.

Like it or not, 3D video is the way of the future and GoPro decides to catch on with the 3D trend as it introduces its 3D Hero System. It is basically a mounting system that straps two of its 1080p HD Hero action cameras onto a special housing made from polycarbonate material. The system syncs the two cameras together and the images captured are turned into 3D video with the help of an included software in post-production.

The GoPro 3D Hero System costs just US$99, and that is without the cameras. Aspiring 3D filmmakers would have to supply their own HD Hero cameras or buy them separately for $259 each. Note that only the 1080p HD Hero works with the system and nothing else.

It's all too easy to criticise Gemini paying just a little too much homage to Pioneer's last set of CDJs. But it isn't anything that hasn't been done before by other manufacturers over the years - just perhaps a tad sooner than most would dare. But looking past this all too obvious fact, there is one stroke of genius in this CDJ-700 that whilst deliberate, could also be unintentionally clever.



This very much relates to modern day habits. Many of us own iPhones or similarly specced touch screen smart phones and MP3 players. And if we pick up a non-touch screen model, it feels like we've stepped back a decade to the pre-touch era. We're all about touching and swiping for pretty much anything on our phones these days, so it makes blindingly obvious sense to replicate this for track searching and loading on DJ gear too. If it were me, I'd have put a circular home button right beneath the screen just to reinforce this way of working.



From my short play, Gemini haven't tried to be too clever with the screen. Because it's a touch interface, you can't be too detailed as your fingers need to make solid contact and first time as well. So while the song lists to look a little big print than your phone, it does make perfect sense to me.

It could well be that adding a touch screen just felt like a cool thing to do. And maybe it was deliberately designed to replicate our modern methods of playing music. But either way, Gemini have done a good thing. When I get to play for longer than 2 minutes, I'll be able to say if it does really work in a DJ environment.

The future? With iPads coming along, the whole top end of the deck could easily become a touchscreen. First laptops, now small touchscreens so logically a large touchscreen to replace simple buttons and other controls. This in turn can mean that features can be upgraded and the user interface tweaked or totally reconfigured to suit different uses. And once the price of larger touch screens comes down, I think this will happen.



Inspired by the latest technological trends, the CDJ-700 literally puts professional features and innovative design right at your fingertips.

Multi-Format playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files on CD, SD card, and USB memory devices
Fast-loading Slot-in CD-ROMs compatible with Audio CDs, CD-Rs, MP3 CDs

Last week saw a whatthehellisthat frenzy caused by Novation's teaser for their next DJ focussed product, followed by certain individuals pooling their hive minds to come up with an idea of what Novation's new thingy could possibly be. Well it's finally here and we pretty much nailed it - Twitch for ITCH (no I'm not kidding) dispenses with any kind of jog wheel or platter and focusses on new features in ITCH. Yes - I said Twitch and no jog wheels.





    Twitch has been developed in collaboration with Serato to be a DJ controller with a difference. It comes with Serato ITCH, DJ software that can automatically beat-match tracks to let you get creative with your DJ sets, and it has unique Touchstrip controls that enable you to do amazing things with ITCH's new performance tools. It can also be MIDI-mapped to other DJ software such as Traktor or Ableton Live.

    Twitch provides a completely new perspective on DJing. The Twitch control surface — with two banks of eight large Triggerpads, professional cross-fader and per-channel Fader FX — opens up awesome possibilities for digital DJs and the new breed of controllerists. The two LED-backlit Touchstrips let you manipulate your tracks using gestures as you would on a multi-touch trackpad or touchscreen. Now, you can grab, pinch, tap and nudge to navigate, perform and improvise with your tunes.

    It has four performance modes (Hot Cues, Slicer, Auto Loop and Loop Roll) that interact seamlessly with ITCH, so you can mash up your tracks and mix them back together, totally on the fly. Hot Cues mode lets you instantly jump to markers in your tracks, and re-trigger up to eight hits, just like you can with a sampler. Slicer mode allows you to do something completely new, and re-arrange your tracks while they're still playing using a step sequencer-style user interface. Twitch's Auto Loop and Loop Roll modes allow you to further manipulate tracks and, in combination with the Touchstrips, change loop lengths in the mix to create glitch effects — all without falling out of time. Further expanding your creative potential, effects can be assigned to the channel faders at the touch of a button, so you can perform tricks with fader movements as well as with the knobs of the Master Effects section.

    Twitch is rock solid: designed for life on the road and on stage. It's robust and compact, ready to slot into tight spaces in the DJ booth, and can be carried away from the gig in a laptop bag. Twitch is also bus-powered — simply plug in the USB and audio cables and you're ready to play. It includes a high-quality 2-in 4-out USB audio interface with balanced, high-level master and booth outputs, which can be connected directly into any PA system or home setup with excellent audio quality. Quarter-inch and mini-jack headphone outputs supply a loud and clear signal to any set of headphones. There's also a Mic/Aux channel with mono jack and stereo RCA inputs so vocalists and MCs can be blended with an external audio source, such as an MP3 player, and routed through Twitch's effects and master outputs.

    "It has been exciting to work with Novation; their expertise with controller design combined with our leading DJ software has made for some really incredible possibilities," says Sam Gribben, General Manager of Serato Audio Research. "Twitch is the result and we think it will be an instrument for the next generation of musicians and performers."

    KEY FEATURES

        Comes With Serato ITCH Professional, comprehensive DJ software.
        Versatile Touchstrips Tactile, multi-function control.
        Unique Slicer Mode Chop up beats and create new grooves on the fly.
        Compact & Portable Slots anywhere in the DJ Booth and is easily transportable.
        1-to-1 Control In ITCH Dedicated controls for all ITCH performance functions.
        Robust Build Quality Solid case with Aluminium top plate.
        2-in 4-out Audio Interface High-quality, loud headphones output. Balanced master connections.
        High-quality Cross-fader Hard-wearing, sensitive and replaceable.
        Software Effect Control Blend per-channel Fader FX with assignable master effects.
        Bus-powered USB connection provides all the power needed.
        Mic/Aux Input Route a mic and an external audio device through the effects and master outputs.
        Switchable Booth Outputs Choose between master and cue feeds.
        MIDI Compatible To control any DJ software, such as Traktor or Ableton Live.

    Twitch will be available worldwide in early July 2011, priced:
    USA: $599.99 MSRP / $499.99 at dealers.
    UK: £399.99 inc. VAT typical street price.
    DE: €529.00 inc. Tax UVP (MSRP)

Soooo... is it what you thought it would be? In the rush to nail the feature set, I think I actually lost sight of what it was really all about. ITCH has largely always been about the regular DJ metaphor, and in particular giving superior jog wheel or platter performance from a controller. But it didn't really occur to me that ITCH could actually also be just about loops, cues and beat grids. For this style of DJing, spinny wheels and largely irrelevant.



These touchstrips will be the creative core of your performance, and all but eliminates the need for even a crappy jogwheel. It looks to me like the key to this is preparation. Sure you'll be able to do a lot of really nice tricks on the fly, but having cues and loops set up already will make Twitch a lot more sensible.

Slicer (the leaked but not accurate name for Twitch) appears to be some sort of remix as you go mashup construction kit for your tracks. Sounds a little convoluted without seeing it, but given the target market for this i.e. not DVS users, the scope for mixing, remixing and mashing up quickly and easily seems good.

What is missing is any mention just yet of which version of ITCH this will work with. Screenshots have been leaked that show a new ITCH that looks much more SSL-like in appearance (a whole thesis in itself), which hopefully and logically means the new version will be the one that drives Twitch. Looking at the features in the above press release, the ITCH I know doesn't do much of this right now. Fingers crossed for more word on that later today or tomorrow.

But it's not just about ITCH users. Being a MIDI unit too, I imagine that all DVS users and possibly Ableton Live users will also be able to make good use of such a thing. Those pads certainly are a draw. And if it's anything like Vestax's VFX1, I imagine we'll see direct Scratch Live support for Twitch sometime soon.

I did pick up on something - well 2 things actually. It does appear to me that Twitch needs to be sat between a pair of decks or V7 style units. And this does also lead me to think that the "high quality crossfader" points to much more hands on deck style usage than the pad bashing and loop slicing might imply.

Anyway, I'm sat on Huddersfield station finishing this piece off, but no doubt I'll more for you tomorrow. More than you might expect hopefully.

Last week saw a whatthehellisthat frenzy caused by Novation's teaser for their next DJ focussed product, followed by certain individuals pooling their hive minds to come up with an idea of what Novation's new thingy could possibly be. Well it's finally here and we pretty much nailed it - Twitch for ITCH (no I'm not kidding) dispenses with any kind of jog wheel or platter and focusses on new features in ITCH. Yes - I said Twitch and no jog wheels.





    Twitch has been developed in collaboration with Serato to be a DJ controller with a difference. It comes with Serato ITCH, DJ software that can automatically beat-match tracks to let you get creative with your DJ sets, and it has unique Touchstrip controls that enable you to do amazing things with ITCH's new performance tools. It can also be MIDI-mapped to other DJ software such as Traktor or Ableton Live.

    Twitch provides a completely new perspective on DJing. The Twitch control surface — with two banks of eight large Triggerpads, professional cross-fader and per-channel Fader FX — opens up awesome possibilities for digital DJs and the new breed of controllerists. The two LED-backlit Touchstrips let you manipulate your tracks using gestures as you would on a multi-touch trackpad or touchscreen. Now, you can grab, pinch, tap and nudge to navigate, perform and improvise with your tunes.

    It has four performance modes (Hot Cues, Slicer, Auto Loop and Loop Roll) that interact seamlessly with ITCH, so you can mash up your tracks and mix them back together, totally on the fly. Hot Cues mode lets you instantly jump to markers in your tracks, and re-trigger up to eight hits, just like you can with a sampler. Slicer mode allows you to do something completely new, and re-arrange your tracks while they're still playing using a step sequencer-style user interface. Twitch's Auto Loop and Loop Roll modes allow you to further manipulate tracks and, in combination with the Touchstrips, change loop lengths in the mix to create glitch effects — all without falling out of time. Further expanding your creative potential, effects can be assigned to the channel faders at the touch of a button, so you can perform tricks with fader movements as well as with the knobs of the Master Effects section.

    Twitch is rock solid: designed for life on the road and on stage. It's robust and compact, ready to slot into tight spaces in the DJ booth, and can be carried away from the gig in a laptop bag. Twitch is also bus-powered — simply plug in the USB and audio cables and you're ready to play. It includes a high-quality 2-in 4-out USB audio interface with balanced, high-level master and booth outputs, which can be connected directly into any PA system or home setup with excellent audio quality. Quarter-inch and mini-jack headphone outputs supply a loud and clear signal to any set of headphones. There's also a Mic/Aux channel with mono jack and stereo RCA inputs so vocalists and MCs can be blended with an external audio source, such as an MP3 player, and routed through Twitch's effects and master outputs.

    "It has been exciting to work with Novation; their expertise with controller design combined with our leading DJ software has made for some really incredible possibilities," says Sam Gribben, General Manager of Serato Audio Research. "Twitch is the result and we think it will be an instrument for the next generation of musicians and performers."

Soooo... is it what you thought it would be? In the rush to nail the feature set, I think I actually lost sight of what it was really all about. ITCH has largely always been about the regular DJ metaphor, and in particular giving superior jog wheel or platter performance from a controller. But it didn't really occur to me that ITCH could actually also be just about loops, cues and beat grids. For this style of DJing, spinny wheels and largely irrelevant.



These touchstrips will be the creative core of your performance, and all but eliminates the need for even a crappy jogwheel. It looks to me like the key to this is preparation. Sure you'll be able to do a lot of really nice tricks on the fly, but having cues and loops set up already will make Twitch a lot more sensible.

Slicer (the leaked but not accurate name for Twitch) appears to be some sort of remix as you go mashup construction kit for your tracks. Sounds a little convoluted without seeing it, but given the target market for this i.e. not DVS users, the scope for mixing, remixing and mashing up quickly and easily seems good.

What is missing is any mention just yet of which version of ITCH this will work with. Screenshots have been leaked that show a new ITCH that looks much more SSL-like in appearance (a whole thesis in itself), which hopefully and logically means the new version will be the one that drives Twitch. Looking at the features in the above press release, the ITCH I know doesn't do much of this right now. Fingers crossed for more word on that later today or tomorrow.

But it's not just about ITCH users. Being a MIDI unit too, I imagine that all DVS users and possibly Ableton Live users will also be able to make good use of such a thing. Those pads certainly are a draw. And if it's anything like Vestax's VFX1, I imagine we'll see direct Scratch Live support for Twitch sometime soon.

I did pick up on something - well 2 things actually. It does appear to me that Twitch needs to be sat between a pair of decks or V7 style units. And this does also lead me to think that the "high quality crossfader" points to much more hands on deck style usage than the pad bashing and loop slicing might imply.

Anyway, I'm sat on Huddersfield station finishing this piece off, but no doubt I'll more for you tomorrow. More than you might expect hopefully.

ini nih yg gw pengen hehehe......kayanya goshkil
