IK Multimedia has announced the release of what they say is their first professional DJ Mixing app: DJ Rig - a full-featured, double-deck DJ mixing app for iOS devices. They tell us that DJ Rig provides instant song-playing from the device's music library, automatic tempo sync and beat match, sample-based pads and performance recording, plus an arsenal of high-quality DJ effects. Together with the just announced iRig MIX, the mobile DJ mixer for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, IK says that DJ Rig represents the most portable solution to DJ anytime and everywhere. Here's the rest of what they have to say about it in their own words...
DJ Rig isn't just another DJ mixing app. Instead, it's an extremely intuitive, flexible and easy-to-use groove master program with powerful features and intelligent effects that will please even the most professional DJ. Its dual-deck format is as traditional as it gets, but beyond that, there is a world of creative tools - from sync tools to creative effects - that will take DJ-ing on an iOS device to a completely new level that can be used by anyone, everywhere. Sync Tempo AND Match Beats - Like No Other DJ App
While you can find BPM sync on other DJ apps, none are able to offer beat matching like DJ Rig. This feature allows the automatic synchronization of beats between two songs so the beats are matched and aligned. DJ Rig analyses your songs and then builds a tempo and beat map so anybody can easily mix at the tap of a button and never miss a beat. Effect Deck... Unlimited Sonic Possibilities
DJ Rig also features a robust real-time effects processing section that allows DJs to apply various effects to their source material. And with the XY touch interface, they'll have full creative control of the effect parameters. DJs can choose from spatial effects like reverb, delay and flanger, various pass-through filter effects, distortion, resonance effects and a new stutter effect. Plus, all effects are automatically synced to the tempo. Sampler Machine
DJ Rig also features an "on-the-fly" sampler that can capture and play sounds from built-in sound banks or for quick sampling of source audio for instant playback and looping. Sounds can be accessed from 9 virtual pads that access a high-quality, expandable sample library. Scratching with CloneDeck™
DJ Rig features the new turntable modelling technology called CloneDeck™ which provides an ultra-realistic turntable "scratching" feel and sound. CloneDeck™ provides the exact behaviour you expect from a real DJ turntable... only in a convenient digital format. X-Sync - Sync ANY External Audio Source
DJ Rig features an exclusive X-Sync function that enables the synchronization of music from ANY source - not just music on the iOS device- when used with the iRig MIX portable iOS DJ mixer. With X-Sync, you can connect and cue ANY audio source, and DJ Rig will automatically match the tempo and make seamless transitions. Features
