New Ipad Dj Apps Dip into Itunes

New Ipad Dj Apps Dip into Itunes: from DJTechtools


With Apple now allowing all Ipad apps to directly access music in the Itunes music library, a bevy of new programs will begin to offer the first peeks at what future ipad djing might look like. In the example above, the Djay software from Algoriddim has been ported over to the Ipad with a few nice touch elements that appear to work quite well. Numark also explores the paradigm of auto mixing with the IDJ app, which we have after the break.

Numark IDJ IPAD APP

There is one other application (that we know of) that is currently taking advantage of the new Itunes access. It’s a Numark release called IDJ that enables mix tape/mix sequence creation with “patented” auto Beatmatching technology. It appears to be a really simplified version of Ableton’s sequence view where you can lay out a mix and draw in transitions with automatic tempo matching. Perhaps for a quick and dirty tempo-matched playlist, this might be a handy tool to have around.

What do you think of these apps? We are still waiting with baited breath for all the crazy controller apps that will surely surface once MIDI-In and Out is finally released in 4.2. A preview of what might be coming is the following video; weird out of the box interfaces that combine animated graphics, multi -touch and a smidgen of magic.

Google Street View by Sehsucht Berlin

Google Street View by Sehsucht Berlin: form Computerlove

Sehsucht Berlin, the German Motion Design Studio, has produced an Internet film for Google Street View. The spot directed by Sehsucht's Mate Steinforth (ex-PSYOP NY) allows you to cross all continents in under 1 minute 15 sec. - just like Google Street View lets you travel the world without moving out of your chair. The spot illustrates the claim for the overall print, TV and online campaign, 'Life is a Journey', which started in early November 2010 and was created by Hamburg agency Kolle Rebbe.

Looks like Adobe is playing around with a concept app for the iPad that would allow users to mix color, switch tools, sort layers and more. Could be extremely useful when a second display isn't available. Check it out.

MIDI- Coming Soon on a Ipad near you..

MIDI- Coming Soon on a Ipad near you..: from DJtechtools


The controller world will, once again, get shaken up very soon. In its next Ipad update, IOS 4.2- now available to developers and ready for public any day now, Apple will officially support MIDI input and output to the Ipad. Are you ready for dozens of midi controller apps equipped with gyroscope, acceleration and multi touch functionality? I know we are! Read on for the Dj TechTools inside scoop on this exciting new development.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE DJ?

I am most excited about the potential of connecting devices like the Midi-Fighter, which consume very little power, to the Ipad which now has access to a full Itunes music library. Together these two could be a micro dj world that promises to be a lot of fun in a very light package! Direct MIDI support means you may actually be able to use existing MIDI equipment, where previously any hardware connected to the Ipad required a special license and had to pay a steep fee!

Alternatively, if you already own an Ipad- you may have soon have access to dozens of virtual controllers that can be endlessly configured and tuned to suit your needs. The new CORE midi functionality on the Ipad means that developers can easily make midi controller apps that work with your dj software. There are some limitations to touch based controllers though. As we all know, djs love their knobs and faders but the Ipad also brings a lot of exciting new controls to the table including:

• gyroscope
• acceleration
• multi touch functionality

Almost none of which exist on existing hardware controllers meaning this next round of Ipad “dj” apps might be taken a lot more seriously.



Sources tell us:

You will be able to send MIDI over a network (Wifi)

• Latency can get troublesome over a crowded network
• Latency can be an issue with interference in the signal
• Computer to computer networks and dedicated airport express set ups should work the best.
• This would work right away using traditional midi over network systems that already exist in MAC OS

MIDI IN and OUT will be available over USB

• This will require the camera adapter
• USB power will be very limited so the IPAD won’t be able to run power hungry Midi controllers
• A powered USB hub could be used to solve this issue
• While using the USB/camera adapter, you can’t charge or transfer juice, so the Ipad may run out of power rapidly depending on the app.

This will all be done via a very similar API to the desktop computers using standard MIDI communication. That means a properly set up app should just show up as a standard MIDI device in your dj software. Configure, map and jam away. Long gone are the early days of sketchy intermediary programs that bridge the gap between Ipad and MIDI. Woop Woop!

Hypnotic Projections and Light Art from the Mapping Festival, in Videos: from Create Digital Motion

Opening night of Mapping Festival 2010 www.mappingfestival.com
Featuring : D-Fuse / Raphael Diluzio / Alex Posada / Herman Kolgen / Granular Synthesis / Matthias Oostrik / Solo-Matine & Delko.

The Mapping Festival is an event dedicated to being a “laboratory for the VJing discipline,” a visualist extravaganza of light and performance. Founded by the creators of Mac VJ app Modul8 and Zoo/Usine, the Fest has just released a couple of videos of this year’s installment, held earlier this year in Geneva, Switzerland.
The video at top covers the whole lineup, with perhaps surprisingly minimal, element visuals that hone in on human visual responses on the atomic level (quite literally in the case of “Particle”). Perhaps most intriguing is Matthias Oostrik’s “Mirror of Broken Time”; through the reflections of a shattered mirror, he finds audience members strangely compelled to gaze at their own image as they watch the piece. Particles, dust, and geometric reductionism otherwise feature heavily.
Lineup:

We’ve seen Alex Posada’s work before, but there’s a terrific new interview from this year’s festival as he talks about his entrancing, pulsing particle of light. He says he conceives this work as a kind of musical score, rendered in light.
