[IT'S YOUR CHOICE]

After a tiny degree of teasing seeing the image put under the photoshop microscope but not really yielding the info people wanted, Vestax have take the wraps off of their next big thing. The VCI-400 is an interesting controller, not least because it goes out of it's way to be as software agnostic as possible.

Here's a brief video:

Vestax VCI-400 Preview

And some words:

IT'S YOUR CHOICE

Serato? check. Virtual DJ? check. Traktor Pro? check.
Torq, Mixvibes,Mixx, Deckadance, djDecks? check!

The Vestax VCI-400 works with any DJ software that has a MIDI learn function. Having more than 200 assignable parameters (knobs, faders and buttons), you will have plenty of room to fit in all necessary controls of the software you use. Although, we understand creating a MIDI map from scratch can be time consuming. Thata's why Vestax will have basic MIDI maps for a variety of DJ software available on www.vestax.com If it's the first time for you to buy a DJ controller or if you're seeking for other DJ software, the VCI-400 comes with bundles of Serato DJ Intro and Virtual DJ LE 4 Decks, both designed for immediate plug&play DJ experience.

THINK OUT OF THE BOX
The biggest advantage of using a controller to DJ is regardless its compact size, having all necessary controls in one unitand being able to transport/ play all your songs from a laptop. But VCI-400 brings you another advantage that is often overlooked: the great ability to customize how the controller works with software. The customize capability of the VCI-400 is nothing like any other and provides options that will spark your imagination. The wide and highly versatile control surfaces will map just to your style, and the multi-mode transport button allows great finger drum skills. Whatever your style is, whatever control function it is that you want to assign, the VCI-400 will have the best options for you.

IT SIMPLY SOUNDS AWESOME
The sound quality of a DJ controller is determined by its D/A conversion capability. There were no compromises when Vestax designed the new audio system built-in to the VCI-400, which uses a studio-grade asynchronous USB streaming system and provides a low-latency, bit-perfect audio at
24-bit / 48 kHz resolution, with high level output. On the road or in the studio, the VCI-400 simply sounds awesome.

OPTIONAL QUALITY OVERLAY
We provide optional overlay and appropriate mapping files to map your software! Available overlays for Traktor Pro 2, VirtualDJ and Serato.

Check out the mapping files on www.vestax.com

MATCH TO ANY SOFTWARE
Vestax got inspired by the king synthetizers. The VCI-400 is supplied with a high density blank overlay set out of the box. Stick the overlay to the VCI-400 facepanel and write your the function names of your unique function mapping.



In a nutshell, it's a 4 channel controller with built in audio interface that builds upon the industry foundation of the VCI-100. Like the Numark N4, it comes with Serato DJ Intro (so not just for entry level eh Serato?) and Virtual DJ LE for 4 deck and video madness. Clearly, there's a definite move away from Traktor right now.

But Vestax will supply Traktor mappings for this too, but have gone a step further and will offer support for just about any damned piece of software they can find from the start. The VCI-100 aims to play nice with everything on any platform.

Everything is there that you might expect, but for me, the interesting thing is the unmarked controls. As software develops and offers new features, it's becoming much harder to make a one controller fits all scenario. So Vestax have to a degree decided to hand the control over to you.

Above and below the decks as well as between the channel are unmarked pads and a fader, deliberately unlabeled so that you can do what you want with them, and simply write on the supplied overlays what they do.



The build is stellar, from the thick metal faceplate to the metal pots. The jogwheels have been upgraded as well with a better centre adjuster and a nicer finish. The base is plastic, but given that this is a bigger controller, the weight has to be kept down. There must be a trade off as more features are added to software with a increasing amount of real estate and controls.

Anyhow, I took a handful of quick pictures yesterday, but will be back to grab a load more too - hopefully out of the vivid orange aura of the NEC's overhead sodium lamps. And I'll get clarification on price too. $999 is being thrown around but when I asked yesterday, there was uncertainty.

[Not announced, but I got it - the Numark NSP6]

Not announced, but I got it - the Numark NSP6



As I alluded to earlier, I arrived chez BPM so I could mooch, potter and generally get a head start on the crowds. I'm not one for pulling the press card and having the common folk ejected from my place in front of the gear, so I've scooped out a few early doors things for you, one of which hasn't even been announced yet, and nobody else has this either. Check out the SP-6 sample friendly prototype Numark NSP6.

It's obviously extremely targeted towards SSL and ITCH. But given that ITCH 2 lacks MIDI, and works simply on keystrokes and mouse control, what use would such a thing be to an ITCH user? Well next week, I'll have a whole article about the Bome MIDI translator and how it can translate MIDI messages into keystrokes. Jared Helfer has written a solid how-to as well a downloadable starting block to get you going. We don't have an NSP6, but will be using Vestax's offensive weapon the Pad One. It's coming on Tuesday.

More on this NSP6 - if I can get more of course.

[Four Decks of Control. Are you ready?]

You can pretty much depend on Numark to have some controller or other ready to roll at a big trade show, and BPM is no exception. The Numark N4 looks like a budget NS6, but this time however, it's ready to roll with Serato's new DJ Intro package as well as Virtual DJ LE.

The N4 is a 2/4 channel controller and standalone mixer, and Numark go to great lengths to tell us that is can also handle timecode too. It seems to be pretty fully specced despite it's somewhat candybar appearance. The image doesn't tell me much about what control does what, and to be honest I've been looking at images all day long and am a little control weary.

Here's what Numark have to say, along with a short video from Mike Hoska:

Numark N4: Coming Soon



   

Numark Announces N4, a New Four-Channel
    DJ Controller with Mixer

    The N4 DJ controller delivers four channels of control plus the ability to use time-coded vinyl.

Cumberland, R.I. (Sept. 29, 2011) – Numark, the world's leading manufacturer of DJ technology, introduces N4, a four-channel DJ controller with built-in mixer. Numark will unveil N4 at booth F3 at BPM 2011 in Birmingham, England from October 1st – October 3rd.

Featuring 4-decks of software control plus a built-in mixer that can be used with or without a computer, N4 is designed for DJs who want powerful capability in a lightweight, portable package. This complete 4-channel controller has everything DJs need to perform at their highest level: large, touch-sensitive platters, 4-decks of software control with loop and effects controls, a built-in USB audio interface and a comprehensive mixer section with EQ and gain. N4 will come with both Serato DJ Intro software and a 4-deck version of Virtual DJ LE.

The N4 DJ controller with a mixer is built for flexible control of virtually any music source. Its built-in DJ mixer allows DJs to mix any external source including turntables, CD players and MP3 players. DJs are able to instantly switch from controlling 4 decks of software to controlling 2 decks of software plus 2 channels of external source.

With the ability to use time code, N4 sets a new standard for 4-channel DJ controllers in its class. In addition to 4-decks of MIDI software control, N4 gives DJs the ability to use their CD player or turntable to control advanced DJ software by employing turntables with time-coded vinyl or CD players with time-coded CDs.

"N4 is going to be an incredible instrument in the hands of DJs everywhere," said Chris Roman, Numark Product Manager. "We're packing innovation, capability and control into a design that looks and feels great."

And an overview - more marketing spiel but best to have all the info right?

Four Decks of Control. Are you ready?

Featuring four decks of software control plus a built-in mixer that can be used with or without a computer, N4 is designed for DJs who want powerful capability in a lightweight, portable package. N4 is a complete DJ controller that has everything you need to perform at your highest level: large, touch-sensitive platters, four decks of software control with loop and effects controls, a built-in USB audio interface and a comprehensive mixer section with EQ and gain controls. N4 comes with both Serato DJ Intro software and a 4-deck version of Virtual DJ LE.

Built-In Mixer
N4 is built for flexible control of virtually any music source. You can use its built-in mixer to bring virtually any external source into your mix including turntables, CD players and MP3 players. You can choose in an instant to switch from controlling 4 decks of software to controlling 2 decks of software plus 2 channels of external source.

Timecode Capability
With the ability to use time code, N4 sets a new standard for 4-channel controllers in its class. In addition to its four decks of MIDI software control, you get the ability to use CD players or turntables to control your advanced DJ software by employing turntables with time-coded vinyl or CD players with time-coded CDs.* Turn N4 into a four-platter controller by adding on two controllers or two turntables like the NDX900 Controller or two TTXUSB turntable.

Essential Elements
Of course, N4 comes equipped with an intuitive layout of faders, knobs and buttons that feel great, provide the right amount of resistance and are built withstand abuse. Each deck is outfitted with standard DJ tools including a pitch fader with key-lock control, looping controls, and effect and sampling controls. Four Video Fade selectors are also on-board to give you video mixing capability when using Virtual DJ Pro (available separately).

Built-in USB Audio Interface
N4 is Class Compliant: plug it in to your laptop, load the software and you're ready to go. N4 enables USB recording of all your analog and digital sources. Whether you're using four decks or software or combining software and externals sources from N4's mixer section, your entire performance can be recorded, saved and posted to your website or social media. For your live audience, N4 has balanced XLR outputs, giving you a solid, professional connection to virtually any sound system.

Start taking control with N4 from Numark.

The only thing I'll point out at this time is that Serato DJ Intro offers only 2 channels, whereas Virtual DJ LE is 4.

This is priced at £349/€399 and should ship in December.

Panasonic kini tengah menyiapkan robot yang mampu mengikuti lomba triathlon. Tak kurang tiga jenis robot kini tengah mereka siapkan untuk mengikuti Ironman Triathlon Circuit yang diadakan di Hawaii.

Lomba ini akan menempuh jalur sejauh 230 kilometer. Termasuk diantaranya adalah arena berenang di lautan terbuka sepanjang 3.8 kilometer, arena bersepeda sejauh 180.2 kilometer dan yang terakhir adalah arena lari sejauh 42.2 kilometer.



Robot dengan nama Mr Evolta ini sebelumnya telah melakukan aksi yang hampir sama pada tahun lalu. Menempuh jalur jalan raya sepanjang 500 kilometer dari Tokyo menuju Kyoto. Namun bedanya pada tahun lalu robot ini belum dapat berenang.

Sang desainer robot mengatakan, berenang menjadi salah satu hal yang paling sulit untuk dilakukan. Untuk membantunya, robot ini dilengkapi dengan buoy yang membantu robot agar tetap mengambang.

Dalam waktu dekat Disney mobile akan meluncurkan sebuah aplikasi yang cukup menarik untuk iPad. Aplikasi bernama Appmates tersebut dapat mengubah sebuah iPad menjadi sebuah papan permainan yang sangat menarik.



Dengan menggunakan sebuah mobil mainan khusus buatan Disney, yang menggunakan karakter di film Cars 2, iPad akan menjadi sebuah papan game yang sangat interaktif. iPad yang sudah terpasang aplikasi ini akan dapat merespon setiap gerakan atau tindakan dari mobil mainan khusus tersebut.

Tidak ada perangkat tambahan lain untuk dapat memainkan permainan ini. Tidak dibutuhkan wifi maupun bluetooth, permainan ini sepenuhnya memanfaatkan layar sentuh di iPad.

General Manager Disney Mobile, Bart Decrem, mendemonstrasikan permainan ini secara langsung kepada allthings. Dia menunjukkan bahwa setiap gerakan mobil akan mempengaruhi layar iPad. Misalnya saat mobil membunyikan klakson, sapi-sapi akan secara otomatis menyingkir karena ketakutan.

Sebagai langkah awal, Disney Mobile menyediakan karakter Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Finn McMissile dan Holley Shiftwell. Setiap karakter akan memiliki efek tersendiri dalam permainan.

Mainan dan aplikasi ini akan diluncurkan pada 1 Oktober di Apple Store dan Disney Store. Aplikasinya dapat didonwload secara gratis, namun untuk mainan mobil-mobilannya, harus dibeli seharga 20 USD atau sekitar 160 ribu rupiah.

Here is a quick vid of the DSC in action at the NYC Lenovo event. Great to see people giving it a go! I was not able to make it, but it looks like they had a lot of fun.
DJing is Richard LaBennett, who is the WW ThinkPad Product Manager at Lenovo. He DJs on the side!

DJ Sound Control

I totally understand that having a constant stream of new gear on a virtual conveyor belt month after month will give you great expectations, and indeed a craving to be constantly impressed. But I urge you to remember that sometimes, it's about topping up the existing market to keep the cash rolling in. This allegedly crap gear IS fit for purpose and works more or less perfectly for the intended market. Just don't dismiss it because it doesn't smash design rules, defy the laws of physics or even nudge the envelope just a tad. it's still solid serviceable equipment worthy of your attention, and importantly gear that manufacturers need to sell to make the next generation possible.

The bottom line - I promise that an endless slew of gear that you can only dream of is coming. It just doesn't have to be every single new product.

[Remember The Rake?]

Standing back as I do to observe trends in the DJ scene, I have witnessed a growing impatience - a hunger for a constant stream of advanced new shiny. Indeed, with increasing regularity, internet commenters lambast manufacturers for a disappointing lack of innovation in whatever new box they unleash into the market. But do manufacturers really need to keep pushing that envelope with every single new release?

It's been a decade since the Pioneer CDJ-1000 was released to both rapturous applause and fear masquerading as hate. Subsequently DVS software took hold of the haters as the more palatable side of digital DJing. And then the scene embraced controllers with a passion - to the exclusion of media players and DVSs. So in a decade, we have seen 3 major technologies supplant vinyl and make it the DJ equivalent of the unwanted smelly old uncle at the Christmas table.

So that's 10 solid years of rapid and diverse evolution. And for the majority of that time, we've seen some giant steps in moving things forward. So it's quite understandable that the masses have an insatiable technolust for the next new thing that makes last week's old thing look positively prehistoric.



Remember The Rake?

It is also important to remember that new ideas are risky. We're in an age where industry standards are a thing of the past, and this year's hotness is last year's old hat. So whether it's some sort of R&D crazy talk that might just work, or listening to the masses who absolutely must have (insert essential product here), nothing is a sure fire winner. Remember hybrid decks? Exactly.

Manufacturers must still have solid safe sellers aka the products that aren't too different from the existing market leaders that will keep the revenue coming, and will hopefully bring in enough cash to finance some frivolous new idea that may well be the shape of things to come. It's also worth noting that today's safe products were once those risky innovative ones that sometimes scare more conservative manufacturers away.



But sometimes, isn't it just a matter of addressing the market that already exists rather than endlessly trying to redefine it and create new ones? Isn't the basic principle of DJing for the majority of people exactly the same as it has been for decades? I use this a lot, but A to B and back again fits most of the market without recourse to bells, whistles and flashy lights.

So I put it to you dear reader that a great many of you need nothing more than the basics, but you definitely want more. Now the basics are a moving target these days, and there is again an expectation that successive generations of gear will have older features as standard. Loops and hot cues are the current expectation, and something we never had on vinyl. But now it seems that samples are the latest must have.
