A unique approach to beat mixing on the iPad and iPhone.” – AppAdvice.com
Touch DJ Evolution is absolutely different from all DJ apps out there, and that’s why it brings such fantastic results. The app is not trying to recreate any existing hardware DJ setup, like turntables or CD platters. Instead, Touch DJ Evolution offers absolutely new and fresh approach, giving the ability of direct track manipulation.
All the mixing can be done 100% visually, without any pre-cueing with headphones. The colored track waveforms are floating in the realm of the futuristic neon-glowing interface, along with the calculated beatmaps. It takes only a single tap in the beatmap zone to activate the “1-Tap Auto-Sync” feature, which will align the tracks perfectly.
Touch DJ Evolution simply makes the mixing too easy, removing the need of technical beatmatching skills. The tracks are simply always in sync, and moreover, the key of the tracks doesn’t change when the speed of the track is modified, thanks to the “Master Tempo” (“Key Lock”) technology.
Instead of being busy with syncing the tracks, user can now focus on the more creative aspects of the mixing, and Touch DJ Evolution offers great possibilities of being creative. Quantized loops, 7 effects, sampler, automatic EQ, unlimited cue points – such impressive feature list is found only on expensive hardware setups, and some features, like Party Mode (Auto-DJ) are absolutely unique.

1-TAP AUTO-SYNC • BEATMAPS & BEAT PHASE • MASTER TEMPO / KEY LOCK • RECORD MIX • UNLIMITED CUE POINTS • QUANTIZED LOOPS • 7 FX • IPOD IMPORT • ON-THE-FLY PEAK BUILDING AND BPM DETECTION • AUTO EQ • AUTO CROSSFADER • 5 CRATES • 6-SLOT SAMPLER • PARTY MODE (AUTO DJ)

LoopJ is the heart of mobile music innovation, first presented in January 2011 in Cannes at MIDEMNet Lab. Powered by cutting edge technology, it is basically the first truly INTERACTIVE DJ STATION in the world. Feed it with your own music and rule the universe!
This particular app is primarily aimed at MUSICIANS who will enjoy playing their music in a new interactive way, and this is why it is FREE for anyone. It was created as a showcase for Amidio’s .loopj interactive music standard, based on our research that nearly every existing dance music track can be split into 5 LAYERS that will always sound good together.
Even for NON-MUSICIANS, there are 5 great free bundled TRACKS in the app (created by an aspiring electronic musician Sentatic), so anyone can give LoopJ a try and feel the power of the interactive dance music right away.
NO BANNERS *** NO NAG SCREENS *** PURE INTERACTIVITY
Think of LoopJ as of a mini DJ-optimized version of Ableton with fixed layout, optimized for touch-screen performances, always ready when you’re on the go.
You don’t need a separate MIXER, since there are 2 .loopj decks always playing together at the same time, always TIME-STRETCHED to have the same BPM, so you’re always guaranteed a perfect mix. Loading new tracks is seamless and doesn’t interrupt the mix.
You can even spice the mix with LP/HP multitouch filters and 3 built-in FX – Rhythmic Delay, Gate Splitter, Glitch Repeater. You also have a Global HPF Filter which is basically a Fast-EQ.
Recording to .WAV/.M4A is available as a separate in-app purchase for a modest price.
To get your OWN MUSIC into LoopJ, all you have to do is to convert your tracks into the .loopj format, which is as easy as extracting different parts of your track into 20 fixed .wav loops, 4 loops per 5 layers: BEAT, BASS, LEAD, ATMO, REAT. Bundle it with a track image, description, pack it into a .zip file, then upload it freely into LoopJ and play it!
Please refer to the the built-in MANUAL for the complete description of the .loopj standard, the process of converting and uploading your tracks into LoopJ, and the functionality of the app.
THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PUBLIC VERSION OF LOOPJ. WE DELIBERATELY MADE IT FREE BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT THE MODERN MUSIC TO BECOME INTERACTIVE. LOOPJ IS THE STANDARD WE PROPOSE. YOUR GOOD REVIEWS WILL HELP US TO DEVELOP LOOPJ FURTHER AND TAKE IT TO UNBELIEVABLE HEIGHTS!
To-do (short-list):
– More FX
– Reworked “Load Tracks” screen
– Share .loopj tracks
– Split fader system
