Midi-To Serato Scratch Live iPad Controller

MiDi-to is a wireless DJ MiDi controller designed for Serato Scratch Live™. It is the first iPad MiDi controller designed for Serato that does not need any additional software to work. MiDi-to takes advantage of the Core MIDI framework which minimizes setup and latency.

*Works with iPad, iPad 2 and the new iPad.
*No additional software needed
*Clean,ergonomic layout
*Wireless control with virtually no latency (less than 5ms) without the need of internet or a router.
*Designed by Serato DJs for Serato DJs
*Simple setup using CoreMIDI
*Included tutorial

Our intention is to bring back the DJ’s attention to their DJ set instead of their computer.

MiDi-to’s features are divided into 3 practical views:

MAIN VIEW:

ONE FINGER LOOP ROLL
Remix tracks on the fly by moving your finger around the screen. From 1/32 to 32 bars!
TRIGGER CUE POINTS AND SAMPLES
Real-time finger drumming and remixing galore! MiDi-to offers immediate response and an error-proof layout for extreme cue-juggling.
DIRECT ACCESS TO ALL FXS
Quickly access and control all of Serato;s ultraFX and combine them with Loop Rolls.

Flip the track with just one tap.
AUTO LOOP
Easily and precisely make auto loops. From 1/32 to 32 bars.
MANUAL LOOP
Manually create custom loops.
Change playback mode between Absolute, Relative and Internal quickly in emergencies (cleaning your needle for example)

FX VIEW:

ADVANCED SFX CONTROL PAGE
You can easily select any of Serato’s FX
presets. Individually manipulate wet/dry
via large touch faders for 6 FX. Change the FX beats on the fly for interesting results.

LIBRARY VIEW:

EASILY NAVIGATE YOUR CRATES AND LOAD TRACKS
Touch and hold to quickly scroll through your
library. Switch between crates using the “TAB”
button. Quickly load tracks without making mistakes thanks to the ergonomic buttons.

Additionally we made the app easy to set up:
Quick setup: Just connect to your Mac via Wi-Fi, launch MidI-to, tap on the name of your connections and your are ready to go!
Included tutorial: Simple tutorial made for DJs not IT professionals. Available offline in case you need while at the Club.

The MiDi-to equipped iPad can be seamlessly integrated into a DJ setup providing a more hands-on approach to Serato’s features while enabling the DJ to perform in novel ways.

MIDI-TO REQUIRES SERATO SCRATCH LIVE™ SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE CONNECTED TO A WI-FI EQUIPPED MAC. IT HAS BEEN TESTED AND OPTIMIZED FOR THE SL1 INTERFACE.

NO ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR SETUP.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOWNLOAD OUR OPTIMIZED SERATO MIDI MAPPING PRESET FROM OUR WEBSITE FOR A QUICK AND EASY SETUP.

You just need to connect the iPad to your computer via Wi-Fi.

Both sliders and touchpads support snapping to a value, fading to the touch position (duration user-configurable) and bouncing. One very unique feature is the drumpad-integrated X/Y-controller: Change your instruments’ or your effects’ sound just by moving your finger while still triggering – very useful also for DJ software like Traktor Pro.
