And, while I don’t expect this will be a huge market, I’m personally interested in ways of bringing vinyl techniques into other live performance setups in tools like Max/MSP, FL Studio, Live, through integration of plug-ins like the Ms. But after years of relative stagnation in traditional digital DJ systems, things are getting interesting. There are plenty of big questions here, of course, not the least being how this “autolearn” system will work and if it’s competitive with systems integrated out of the box, like NI’s Traktor Scratch. Pinky, so we’ll see if Image Line can reverse engineer NI’s system. We have heard, though, that absolute timecode (which allows you to needle-drop, etc.) on at least Ms. NI tells us they don’t think Deckadance will be able to reverse-engineer their timecode with support for absolute mode. MIX-101 is the smallest controller with a high resolution jog wheel for scratch of any other midi command of your choice. CDJ-101 and VTT-101 are using the patented touch sensitive platter, offering 2 different style of turntable deck style. Rather than restricting you to one vinyl system, Deckadance “autolearns” the timecode used by various systems, and “has been tested with timecode vinyls & CDs from msPinky, Stanton FinalScratch, MixVibes, Serato Scratch Live, Virtual DJ & Torq.” Notably absent: NI’s upcoming Traktor Scratch. The family is composed of 4 models: CDJ-101, VTT-101, DJM-101 and MIX-101. It supports lots of vinyl control systems.Now confirmed: Vestax VCI-100, Behringer BCD2000 & 3000 (though interestingly not Behringer’s DJ controller), Allen & Heath Xone:3D, M-Audio X-Session, the ugly but serviceable Hercules DJ Console MP3 & MK II, and slick EKS XP10 are all supported out of the box. Upload the diagnostic.zip from the Desktop here to this topic. zip files, if it is not the Windows Explorer, close it and open the Desktop. Click on Save report on the top left or bottom left of the window. US$179, or $149 during an introductory offer for May. Start the diagnostics: Help -> Diagnostics. And since they’re VSTs, you can use them even when you’re not running Deckadance, in case you want some FX love in SONAR or Live. $179 with Deckadance is a great deal, too. I’ve been using these with FL Studio 7 as I test that, and it’s a nice bundle for US$99. It has some lovely effects of its own. Both versions support up to 4 decks, smart knobs, GrossBeat effects, isolator effects, sampler, smart panels, VST host and client, MIDI controllers, iTunes.Drop Deckadance into any host program, and you can take advantage of its vinyl support capabilities and DJ tools while using everything you like about your host. Like many of you, I’m not quite ready to give up Ableton Live, though, so that brings us to our next point: Deckadance wisely allows you to use VST plug-ins. One of our big complaints with too many traditional DJ apps: you’re restricted to the included effects. We’re excited to try it out for all the reasons we were when we first saw it, and now we have some additional details to flesh in: No word on the Mac version in development, but Windows, at least, is shipping now. Deckadance, from the makers of FL “Fruity Loops” Studio, is now shipping.
