11th Nov 2009
DJ'ing with iTunes is now a reality
Vestax has announced the release of Spin, a brand new all-in-one bundle of digital DJ hardware and algoriddim’s djay 3 software. The Spin DJ controller was jointly developed for optimal integration with the award-winning djay software, and delivers Mac users of all levels the experience of mixing, scratching and playing their music like a turntable DJ. djay 3 seamlessly integrates with the user’s iTunes library and transforms the Mac into a complete DJ setup, while Vestax’s hardware replicates the control and physical sensation of mixing and scratching on actual records. Spin will be available exclusively in Apple Stores in the USA and Canada starting today.
The bundling of Vestax’s DJ MIDI controller and algoriddim’s djay 3 provides a powerful solution for all DJs, from beginner to pro. The Spin DJ controller mimics the classic setup of two turntables and a mixer, and easily connects to any Mac via USB. The user can then control djay 3 using two high resolution touch-sensitive jog wheels for scratching and remixing like on an analog turntable. Using the crossfader and controls for speed, looping, cue points, effects, and EQ, the user can smoothly fade from one song to another and apply professional-grade effects. The Spin controller also includes a built-in audio interface with a microphone input and two stereo outputs for headphones and master. “Introducing DJing and reaching out to a new generation – the elder to the younger, the never before to the professional and experienced – has been one of our goals since the beginning of the DJ Midi controller movement,” said Charles Akira Ono, Vice President of the Vestax Corporation.
“With our know-how and team of engineers dedicated in pro audio, quality and design, we’ve partnered up with software company algoriddim to bring you the perfect mix. Call it the best mash-up for bringing in the New Year, as we assure you will experience DJing at a new level of fun.”
“The Spin controller is a simple, yet powerful solution for all DJs, whether they’re just beginning to experiment with their music or they’ve been mixing for years,” said Karim Morsy, CEO of algoriddim. “We designed djay 3 to bridge the gap between everyday music enthusiasts and professional DJs, so we are thrilled to be able to offer our customers a hardware component that brings them that much closer to the real thing and beyond. It has been a real pleasure to closely work with Vestax on delivering Mac users everything they need to turn their Mac into a full-blown DJ system.”
Feature Highlights:
- Touch Sensor Jog Wheels: High resolution, touch-sensitive jog wheels enable the user to DJ like in analog mode when scratching or mixing
- Multi Channel Audio System: Spin comes with high quality sound for monitoring, master output and a separate microphone input
- Compact and Light: Completely travel friendly, the unit is perfect for Mac users on-the-go. A simple USB cable and djay 3 will have the user spinning wherever they please
Pricing and Availability: Spin is exclusively available in Apple Stores for $249.95 (USD), including djay 3 in the bundle. djay 3 is also available for a free 15-day trial or for purchase, and is also available for purchase from Apple retail locations for $49.95 or 39.95 Euro (+VAT).

How Social Media is changing advertising…

the latest campaign strategy from lynx
Lynx’s latest ad campaign really highlights how important using social media is nowadays in large scale campaigns. There is no ‘one place’ to advertise and engage, so we are finding ourselves having to ’spread’ the campaign budgets over more and more mediums.
Lynx are currently aiming to win some awards for this campaign and here is what they have to say about it:
In order to successfully launch new body spray Lynx Instinct, we had to bring out the caveman in teenage boys across Australia. That may not sound hard, until you consider the target species’ nomadic nature. So we approached them in their natural habitats – ranging from MySpace, Facebook and YouTube through to gaming, men’s mags and cinemas – to send out the call on behalf of Lynx Instinct. The result is an integrated campaign featuring a multiplayer game that is as popular as it is addictive. The lesson? These days, even going back to the Stone Age means embracing the power of digital.
