Sound Trends has released meta.DJ for iOS with DJ tools, electronic instruments and FX to address modern DJ styles.
DJs can use meta.DJ on their iPad to perform using Quad Deck/Device set-ups with up to 4 virtual devices at once. Devices include: Track Decks with Cue/Loop Presets (for playing/manipulating iTunes tracks) plus electronic instruments like the drumtron drum machine, SaMPL3R (for adding arpeggios, basses, chord stabs and other musical parts) and Looptastic (for playing/mixing audio loops).
Each device can be assigned up to 4 effects (from 15 different effects including Filters, Delay, Stutter, etc.) - all BPM-driven and under the control of an XY touch pad. Device Snapshots let the user swap devices in and out on-the-fly, complete with their content and mix information (level, FX, etc). An in-app store provides new Loop Sets by established 3rd parties and producers. Meta.DJ includes demo tracks and Loop Sets content by DJ Puzzle and Myagi.
Features:
- Use any combination of up to 4 virtual devices at a time. Drag and drop device Snapshots into the work area on-the-fly.
- iTunes Integration - Easily import tracks from the device’s iTunes library.
- Automatic BPM Detection – meta.DJ analyzes track tempo and provides special tools for fixing tricky tracks.
- Sync Mode – Tracks, instruments and FX all can sync to a master tempo.
- Cues/Loop Presets - Playback automatically plays back on the beat.
- Auto Loop - Can be used for creating Loop Presets or throw in 1/2/4/8/16 or 32 bar loops on-the-fly.
- Scratch Strip interface for scratching and interactive control of loop playback.
- Each loop is a fader for intuitive mixes.
- 3 FX zones.
- Imports any current Loop Sets, both user-created sets and those purchased from the Loop Store.
Each device has its own mixer fader with up to four assignable FX including Filters, Gate, Stutter Effects, Bitcrusher, Flanger, Glitchy Repeater, Delay, Reverb, Pan, Compressor and Pump. All FX controlled by an XY pad with "Hold" feature, plus stutter, delay and modulation effects are BPM driven for maximum impact and minimum hassle.
Each Set Document includes user-defined combinations of devices with a collection of Snapshots. Snapshots include the content in the Device (music tracks w-Cues/Loops, Instruments Presets, audio loops, etc.) and mix information (effects, volume), stored as easily recalled Snapshots.
Price: $9.99.
