BPM DJ offers the 21st century digital equivalent of a professional DJ setup with 2 decks, 2 effect engines and a mixer. A high quality tool with focus on performance, low latency, usability and stability, designed for the real club’s DJ booth.

Start with 4 fixed tracks to learn the basics, then unlock the “Use Your Music” feature to play more. Or buy the “Premium Pack” to unlock all features on a discount price.

Output modes for hardware mixer:

– Classic Club mode to use two iOS devices as two separate decks, connected to a hardware mixer. The two devices can sync the current BPM value wirelessly.
– Double Deck mode to use one device, connected to a hardware mixer. Headphone left is deck A, headphone right is deck B.

Output modes for the Split Cable Adapter (check djplayer.net to buy):

– Split Cable. Headphone left is master, headphone right is pre-listening.
– Auto Stereo. Same as before, but full stereo when PFL buttons are off.

Output modes with 2 independent stereo outputs:

– Home mode: headphone out is pre-listening, master output is transmitted to our MasterOut app over the network.
– Club Master mode: headphone out is master, pre-listening is transmitted to MasterOut. Our unique MasterOut audio transmission is a special design for ultra-low latency DJ monitoring.

Deck:

– BPM sync, automatic bpm and beatgrid detection.

Mixer:

– Crossfader with 3 curves and morph: attach additional low and highpass filters to each end of the crossfader.
– For each channel: fader with 2 curves (smooth, hard), gain, PFL switch, low/mid/high ±6 db adjust eq, low/mid/high mixing eq from -96 to 0 db, hidden cutoff switch below each mixing eq.
– Punch control for channel faders and cross (similar to in/out).
– Calibrated VU meter per channel and stereo VU meter for master (with peak hold off/fade/run), balance control.
– Pre-listening: master/PFL ratio, headphone volume. Split or stereo PFL (in Home or Club Master mode).

– Gain set on track load (do nothing, reset to 0 or auto set to loudness).

iDelirium Voice Effects For iPhone

iDelirium Voice App For iPhone and iPad

★iDELIRIUM, REMIX YOURSELF!★

Many instruments existed on earth since long time, the guitar, the piano, the drums and many others, and then iDELIRIUM arrived…

iDELIRIUM is a system of sound communication whose discovery has been made by two archeologists at the end of ’30s.

In 1938 two archeologist brothers discovered in Cerreto Guidi (Tuscany, Italy) four caves disposed in a triangular shape that were connected by a larger rectangular space. In the center of this area, there were laying giants monoliths made of an unknown metallic material. Some researchers made the hypothesis that this creation was made by Leonardo Da Vinci himself because of the vicinity with his hometown.

In 1979 the German archeologist Fredrick Schulz made further examinations of the site. He took a sample of this metal and sent it to a lab in Germany in order to get a precise date for the object. The results of C-14 tests were shocking, since they attributed the creation of the object to 5000 b.c. . The scientific community did not accept such a discovery and Dr. Schulz lost all his credibility to the point that he was forced to stop his research activity. In August 2011 the son of Dr Schulz, thanks to the generosity of an American millionaire believing in the existence of E.T. life, got new funds to continue his father’s research. In an evening of August while he was inspecting the caves he discovered an astonishing interaction between the feet pressure on the metal monoliths and his own voice propagation in the caves. By positioning his feet in well-determined positions he could control in an accurate way the echo of his voice on the rocks. The scientific community finally recognized the existence in this place of a communication sound system technically really advanced whose functioning and origin are still completely unknown.

iDELIRIUM is an app that reproduces in the most accurate possible way this incredible discovery. iDELIRIUM is a delirating alien instrument that allows to register and playback your own voice together with electronic sound effects and allucinating combinations of visual effects. The interface, that at first glance looks cryptic, it is in reality extremely easy-to-use.

The main features of the app are:

✔ Record/play your own voice together with preregistered electronic sounds by tapping colored buttons
✔ Start music loops at different speeds
✔ Handle the pitch and volume control of each sound
✔ Drum machine mode
✔ The creation of a rhythm is visually associated an hypnotic movement of colored squares.

Stay tuned and LISTEN TO YOURSELF!

★INSTRUCTIONS★
✔ Shake the device (Iphone) or use the central button (Ipad) to change between REC and PLAY mode
✔ One finger tap
– PLAY mode: play a sound on color buttons
– REC mode: start/stop sound recording on gray buttons
✔ Swipe up/down in play mode to accelerate/decelerate a loop
✔ Two finger tap in play mod to start a loop
✔ Long press
– PLAY mode: show volume and pitch shift controls
– REC mode: delete a sound

SoundZen HD For iPad

SoundZen Icon

This popular iPhone app is now available for the iPad.

SoundZen is a new concept for music. It allows you to generate constantly evolving and changing music with no effort at all.

SoundZen uses a form of cellular logic to determine how your song evolves over time. It follows 2 simple principles:

1. When an arrow touches the edge of the grid, play a note.
2. If arrows collide they must turn 90 degrees for each arrow they collide with

You set up the app by touching any of the positions on the grid, touch it again to change direction and press play. Using the principles above, SoundZen will take you on a zen-like journey based on the input you gave. Sit back, relax and watch as your song changes right in front of you.

You can also save/load your songs and purchase new sounds from the store. After buying a new instrument you can change it by pressing the arrows above the instrument image.

SoundZen HD is available for $2.99
