Review: ION iDJ2Go USB Controller For iOS

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the new iDJ2Go controller from ION, developed solely for use with iOS devices. It is nearly identical to Numark's DJ2Go controller, except for the fitted cable - in the iDJ2Go it ends with a 30pin connector...so no use for controlling anything but iOS devices.

The review is up on DigitalDJTips as always, Simon from Numark has already confirmed that the unit will be compatible with more apps in the future...fingers crossed for vjay compatibility too!

Review: Free DJ Studio App For iPad

Loopmasters have released (in conjunction with app developers Rocudo) a loop-based remix type app called DJ Studio for iPad. There's a full review over on DigitalDJTips, in summary though...the app is free with in-app purchases unlocking either content or features - if you're buying one, the chances are you would buy the other. The success of this app (as with any loop-purchase based app) is dependent on the variety and quality of loops and samples. The quality of the loops isn't in question here, and we know Loopmasters have a huge royalty-free library...so there's hope the available loops will extend further than Progressive House!

Review & Video: Deckadance Mobile For iPad

You may have missed the quietly-softly release of Deckadance Mobile for iPad in the app store, it seems Image-Line are taking a soft-release approach (whatever that means). There's a full review of the app as it currently stands here. I have no doubt that it will get updated to coincide with the full release!

Tonium Pacemaker app for Blackberry?

Interesting to see that the Tonium Pacemaker hasn't quite died out just yet, simply re-incarnated for the Blackberry Playbook;

The Blackberry device seems an odd one to launch a DJ app, however perhaps it will arrive on other platforms depending on its success.

Any thoughts on latency on the Blackberry?

I wonder how long it'll be before we see a "Wacom Nextbeat" app as well?!
