APC40 Ableton Performance Controller

the most advanced USB controller for Ableton Live

OVERVIEW
Akai's highly anticipated APC40 is finally here! This innovative unit was designed in collaboration with Ableton to be the ultimate USB MIDI controller for Ableton's Live software. It is an unique, intuitive, and powerful instrument that gives total control to the user with over 72 pre-mapped knobs, buttons, and faders - all of which are completely customizable. In addition, the APC40 comes with with Ableton Live Akai Professional APC40 Edition software so you can get started producing right away. This is the most advanced Live controller available.

FEATURES
-DIRECT DESIGN
Because Akai Professional and Ableton designed the APC40 specifically for Ableton Live, you don't need to map its controls to talk to the software. Just connect your laptop to the APC40 via USB and you're ready to make magic. The APC40 is plug and play, so you don't need to install drivers. First-time setup is literally three steps: load Ableton Live, plug in and power up your APC40, and select the APC40 as Ableton Live's controller. That's it. No mapping, no setup, no hassles.

The APC40 comes pre-mapped for instant use with Ableton Live software, so if you're new to it, you'll find using the APC40 to be easy to get around on. And if you're an experienced Live user, you'll be happy to note that you can custom-map every single knob, button, and fader on the APC40 to completely customize the controls for the way you like to work.

-VIRTUAL VIEW
The APC40 talks directly to Ableton Live and Live talks directly to the APC40. This bidirectional communication makes the APC40 an advanced controller in that it can receive feedback from the software and display it on its clip matrix of 40 triggers and on LED rings surrounding each knob. The clip matrix gives you an instant view of clip status: what's loaded, what's playing, and what's being recorded. Each state displays on the matrix in a different color so you can get a quick picture of clip state. You can shift your clip focus and get an overview of the clips you have loaded for your set. The APC40 has 16 knobs, each surrounded by a ring of LEDs. These LED rings make it easy to see your settings on dark stages, indicating the currently selected parameters' values.

- PREMIUM FEEL
Ableton selected Akai Professional as its partner in developing the APC40 because of Akai Pro's leadership position in great-feeling controllers that are rock solid, rugged, and precise. From the legendary MPC series that changed the way music is made to the industry-standard MPD and MPK controllers, Akai Professional is revered by musicians, DJs, and producers everywhere for creating the feel that powers their creativity. The APC40 is built with a rugged, metal chassis and slip-proof rubber detailing. All of the knobs and faders are solid and precise for pinpoint performance. It even features a high quality, replaceable crossfader for transitioning between clips and loops assigned to "A" or "B".

- CREATIVE CONTROL
The APC40 comes Ableton Live Akai Professional APC40 Edition software, which is fully functional for performance and production. Owners of standalone editions of Ableton Live 7 or 8 can also work seamlessly with the APC40. Live 7 with the latest automatic update has full support for the APC40 and all versions of Live 8 are APC40-ready.

The APC40 has two banks of eight knobs. The first set controls Global parameters so you'll always have instant access to your main sends, pans, and other essentials. The second bank of eight knobs is dynamically reassigned to the Track you select. You can control eight track parameters at a time, and as you switch channels, the Track knobs follow your focus. For example, you might be working with the Beat Decoder on track two. When you switch to track four, the eight Track knobs that you had been controlling the Beat Decoder with are now controlling the Flangeverb on track four. You'll even notice that the settings for each knob load on the light rings so you'll immediately see each knob's status.

The APC40 also enables special clip-status views and feedback that only the APC40's matrix can display. The matrix is not limited to only 40 clips: you can scroll and shift, enabling you to access, control, and perform with an unlimited number of cells.

The APC40 has a wide range of controllers. The eight Global knobs can access four banks of controls; the eight Track knobs control nine different track parameters each. This gives you a massive total of 72 controllers that are dynamically reassigned each time you switch tracks. Channel faders, bus faders, and a crossfader give you smooth control of key values. You have even more control power with special controls including Tap Tempo, Tempo Nudge, record enables, solo/cues, and two assignable footswitch inputs.

OUR OPINION
This revolutionary controller will definitely change the way you interact with Ableton, in the best ways possible. If you are a performer, DJ, or remixer, this will help you get the most out of Live. Recommended.

Akai
LPD8 USB Laptop Pad Controller

ultra portable USB MIDI controller

OVERVIEW
The LPD8 is an ultra-portable USB-MIDI controller featuring 8 light-up pads and 8 knobs you can assign to virtually any software parameter. With a slim profile weighing less than a pound and measuring less than 13" across, the LPD8 easily fits in your laptop case, backpack, or DJ bag for producing/performing on the go.

FEATURES
The LPD8 has eight orange light-up pads that are velocity sensitive for programming rhythmic or melodic parts. The pads can also send program-change information to software. Additionally, the LPD8 has eight assignable Q-Link knobs you can assign to virtually any parameters in their software for hands-on control and has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to different software programs. Also includes a software editor for easy saving and changing of settings through your computer. Works plug and play with Mac or PC (no software driver installation or external power cord necessary).

OUR OPINION
As Akai's answer the Korg's Nano series, the LPD8 holds up very well and actually has a few advantages. While both feature ulra-slim profiles and portability, the LPD8 combines pads AND knobs in one unit (although the knobs are rather short) whereas you would have to buy 2 Nanos (the PAD and KONTROL) to get these features with Korg. It is also slightly shorter than the nanoPAD and features a nice matte finish with rounded corners. Recommended.

Akai
LPK25 USB Laptop Performance Keyboard

compact USB MIDI keyboard

OVERVIEW
Akai's LPK25 is a compact USB-MIDI controller keyboard for producers, musicians, and DJs. A scaled-down relative to the MPK series of keyboard performance controllers, the LPK is feature loaded allowing users to create melodies and riffs anywhere, plus its small size and weight makes it extremely portable.

FEATURES
The LPK25 keyboard is made up of 25 miniature, velocity-sensitive keyboard keys with synth action. It features an arpeggiator, which steps through chords automatically, assisting musicians with creating quick melodic ideas. Sustain, octave up and down and tap tempo controls round out the LPK25’s easy-to-learn layout. The LPDK25 works plug and play with Mac and PC and requires no software driver installation or wall power for operation. It has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to different software programs you use.

OUR OPINION
The LPK25 is a vast improvement on KORG's portable mini-USB keyboard. Whereas the KORG had "key-like' computer keys, the LPK25 actually has real mini-keys that are velocity sensitive. A must for keyboard players and producers who want to work with software need to express with real feeling keys. The added features of arpeggiator and memory make this a steal for under $70. Recommended.

Korg
Kaossilator Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer

OVERVIEW

The Kaossilator is a portable synthesizer that takes Korg's legendary synths and effects and combines it with their unique KAOSS pad technology to create an innovative pocket-sized instrument for beginners and pros alike. Simply tap or slide your finger across the touch pad for instant musical phrases and jams, drums, effects and more without a keyboard! Create songs on the fly with the loop recording feature and best of all, it's super portable size and battery powered operation allows you to create music anywhere.

FEATURES
For it's ultra-compact size, the Kaossilator packs a load of amazing features for music creation. It features a total of 100 powerful sound programs that combine Korg's legendary modeling synthesizer engine with the effects from the KAOSS Pad series for a variety of sounds that can match any music genre from disco to blues. The horizontal axis of the touch pad is assigned to note/pitch, while the vertical axis is assigned to parameters such as: cutoff, feedback, or modulation depth, giving you a wide range of performance possibilities. And in addition to classic synth sounds like leads, basses and sound effects, the Kaossilator also features faithfully simulated piano, guitar, trumpet and drums.

There is also a handy scale/key feature that allows you to play complex scales and phrases perfectly everytime with the slide of a finger! Choose from 31 different scales including chromatic, diminished, as well as major and minor blues and pentatonic scales, and unusual scales such as Spanish, Ryukyu and Raga. The scale function can be used in conjunction with the key setting function, allowing you to perform in any key. 50 types of gate arpeggiation for complex rhythmic patterns are also at your disposal allowing you to produce specific patterns of notes in sync with the tempo to greatly expand your performance options.

In addition, loop recording is also possible with the Kaossilator for multiple phrase overdubbing. Create a maximum of 8 beats (2 bars) and play it back endlessly - then overdub bass, lead, drums, etc. for a unique and super fun way to create complete grooves and beats. All this in a battery operated, compact frame that you can fit in your pocket. Includes headphone out, RCA output and can run off optional power supply.

OUR OPINION
The Kaossilator provides an extremely fun, unique and easy way to create music anywhere without the use of bulky equipment. Beginners will love the ease of use (just a swipe of the finger!), while more seasoned producers will have fun playing synths and scales in a totally new way. Plus with the sound of the legendary Korg synths and the KAOSS pad, you know you are dealing with quality at a very affordable price.

Korg
Mini-KP Kaoss Pad

The Mini-KP takes the best features of the popular Kaoss Pad and places them in an extremely portable pocket-sized body. 100 effects are available at your fingertips (realtime) including filter, delay, and looper as well as numerous BPM effects that utilize the "TAP/BPM" button to synchronize to your song's tempo. There is also an "FX release" function that offers a natural decay of the effect when changing effects and memory, and memory capabilities. All this in a battery powered unit that is an ideal choice for practice at home, in the studio, or performance in the club.

FEATURES
Just like it's big brother the KP3, the main feature of the Mini-KP is its
touch-sensitive control surface. Simply touch the surface and you activate the effect; drag your finger and it changes the parameters of your effect. Move it up and down to control one parameter, left and right for another, or even diagonal to control 2 parameters simultaneously. It's so easy to use that you really don't need to know what you're doing at all, and you will be able to master some cool sounds in about 10 seconds. Everything is done in realtime too, so you will here the effect instantaneously.

The Mini-KP features a total of 100 effects, many derived from the larger KP3, including filter, delay, and a looper. But especially effective for creative mixing is the "low/high-band pass filter" that lets you cut specific frequency ranges of sound (cut the bass out or the highs), the "decimator" that intentionally degrades the audio quality of the input to give unique impact to the sound, a much-requested "delay & reverb" combination effect (for that smooth echoed out mix effect), and the "looper & pitch shifter" that captures and repeats incoming audio, retuning it in real-time as the pad is manipulated. In addition, there are some synth sounds derived from the KP3 and many more effects that can dramatically add to your sound.

Another important feature is the built-in BPM engine. You can use the "TAP/BPM button" to detect the BPM and synchronize the Mini-KP to an audio input source, and then take advantage of the many BPM effects that are synchronized to your song or performance. There's also an "FX RELEASE" function that lets the effect sound decay gradually when you remove your finger from the pad or change effects. This makes it easy for smooth and natural sounding blending of the mini-KP's effects into your performance or mix.

Lastly is the "Hold" function that lets you fix the effect settings at a given moment, and indispensable memory keys that allow you to save your favorite settings. If you're touching the pad to apply an effect, you can use the "Hold" function to "freeze" the effect settings at any desired point. The Memory Key function lets you memorize the selected effect program, the Hold function's on/off status, and the effect depth. This lets you store your favorite effect settings for instant recall anytime.

OUR OPINION
Just like it's bigger brothers, the Mini-KP is an excellent effects unit for live DJ sets with its ease of use, hands-on control and countless effects options. With it's small size and battery operation, you can feel confident bringing it anywhere - from the home studio to the club. In addition, the Mini-KP is excellent for BPMing your records, and adding effects to your mixes. For music production, the Mini-KP offers a inexpensive way to further alter your sounds with quality Korg effects. The Mini-KP is a quality effects unit that is extremely flexibile and extremely portable.

If you're looking for an extremely portable USB-MIDI keyboard at an affordable price, look no further.

MicroTrack II Digital Recorder

pocket-sized digital recorder, record DJ sets

OVERVIEW
The redesigned Microtrack II adds even more professional features to the extremely popular original (the best professional level, portable recorder we've encountered). This updated model adds an extended input gain range, analog input limiter, faster file transfer rate, seamless recording of files beyond 2GB in size and more to the already robust design making it the best portable option for recording DJ sets and live performances. It's as easy as plugging the mixer output into the inputs and hitting record. Once you are done recording, simplys drag and drop to get your files onto your PC or MAC with the ultra-fast USB 2.0 connection. And for those who like to capture live samples via microphone (noises or vocals), the Microtrack also includes high fidelity mic pre-amps with phantom power (now at 48v), enabling you to use everything from a high-end studio mic or the included mini mic.

USES
- record dj sets
- record vocals
- record audio samples
- listen to files

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
For file management and computer connectivity, the Microtrack is heads above DAT machines (the popular choice for mobile recording). You can record both in WAV (up to 24-bit/96kHz) and MP3 formats (320kbps/48kHz). The Microtrack records onto CompactFlash and Microdrive cards (sold separately), and when plugged into your computer, the Microtrack appears as a hard drive for easy file management. The USB connection also charges the internal lithium battery (power plug also included).

The list of features continues with a large digital screen with an interface similar to the iPod (which can be dimmed for discreet use in dark rooms). There are both RCA and 1/8" outputs for monitoring. Connect the RCA outputs to an amp and use the Microtrack for playback, or plug in the included headphones and use it like an iPod. There are separate left and right level controls with peak indicators, and dedicated buttons for record, hold, play, etc. Extras included: earbuds, t-shaped stereo mini-mic, usb cable, usb power supply, protective carrying case and mic pouch as well as editing software.

OUR OPINION
The MicroTrack is small, easy to use, and most importantly, it seamlessly integrates with your computer. Record your DJ set, save it as an MP3, and publish it on your website; or record a live vocal or sample, save it as a WAV, and use it in your production. And with the version II updates, M-Audio just made a good thing even better. Recommended.

Torq Xponent Advanced DJ Performance/Production System

OVERVIEW
M-Audio's Torq Xponent is a complete digital DJing system featuring Torq DJ software and the Xponent controller / USB interface. Just add a computer and digital music files, and you have a full digital DJ setup with hands-on control, CD turntable / mixer simulation, and a plethora of extra features.

FEATURES
M-Audio's Torq DJing has quickly established itself as a viable option to Serato. It has a similar feature set to Serato, but also includes extras such as VST compatibility, easy performance recording, and multiple sample banks.

The Xponent controller is the first M-Audio controller specially designed for digital DJs. Before the Xponent, digital DJs were forced to use standard MIDI-controllers or DJ controllers by second rate manufacturers. The Xponent was designed with everyday DJs in mind with M-Audio quality, durable controls, and an emphasis on tactile feel. It is also maximized for Torq as all the controls are mapped instantly.

The Torq's wheel controls, knobs, buttons and faders simulate a (2) CD turntable and (1) deluxe mixer setup. You can use them to cue, mix, scratch, and effect digital files without ever using your computer keyboard or mouse. In addition with over 70 individual controls, the Xponent was also designed for sampling on the fly, looping, using effects, etc.

Nocturn features eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders, each equipped with a bright eleven-LED ring (ideal for laptop DJ'ing in a dark club environment). These are accompanied by eight user-assignable illuminated buttons and a smooth, professional 45mm cross-fader. The finishing touch is Novation's unique "speed dial"; a touch-sensitive rotary encoder that instantly takes control of whatever your mouse is focused on.

Featuring a revolutionary new "heads-up transparent control GUI", Automap Universal 2.0 places a transparent control map across your computer screen, to be recalled or hidden at will. Little or no user setup is required and plug-in control can be exactly the way you want it, no matter what music software you use. Just boot up the plug-in and you'll see at a glance how the parameters are automatically assigned to each of Nocturn's controls. An instant click and control ‘learn' function is also available for quick re-assigning of controls, or for creating your own controller map in seconds. Multiple page options mean that you can assign a potentially infinite number of parameters for each plug-in.

Automap Universal 2.0 also categorizes all your control maps. A simple browsing facility lets you review all open plug-ins, then quickly switch to controlling one of them. Automap Universal 2.0 also supports standard MIDI protocol, providing the same transparent display for quick and simple assigning of MIDI parameters. This ensures Nocturn can also turn its hand to controlling a hardware MIDI device, any non-automatable plug-ins, or your sequencer mixer. Once a ‘MIDI map' is created, it can be saved and recalled via the same map browsing facility. A growing number of maps will be available to download from www.novationmusic.com

Nocturn's spacious and tactile control layout, side mounted USB socket and ultra-low profile allow it to sit neatly in front of your QWERTY keyboard or on a larger keyboard such as the SL61. Large, rugged rubber grips hold it steady whilst you let rip with your favorite music software.

Novation
ReMOTE ZeRO SL MIDI Controller DISCONTINUED

OVERVIEW
The Remote Zero SL combines the features of a drum pad controller and a slider/knob controller; and includes the Novation's incredibly useful backlit display system that shows both controller assignments AND values at the same time (ie. which drum hit is assigned to this button and its velocity). Use the pre-loaded templates or create your own, and take away the headache of setting up and using your controller. No more overlays, templates, or tape scrawlings needed! In addition, the Remote SL also features a powerful, revolutionary Automap feature that goes beyond templates, and fully integrates your controller to the program.

FEATURES
The Remote Zero SL features 56 assignable controls. There's more controllers than you will ever need with an assortment of knobs, sliders, and buttons. In addition, for the first time, this Novation controller features velocity-sensitive drum-pad controllers for programming drums.

In addition to the 32 preset templates, the Remote SL Series includes a Template Editor program to create your own custom templates. The Automap feature currently works with Reason and Cubase (Logic and Ableton templates are on the way), check www.novationmusic.com for updates.

Like the Remote LE series, the SL series is fully portable with USB-power, plug power (not included), or battery power (takes four C-size batteries). In addition, if you use rechargeable batteries, the USB-power recharges them when plugged in.

Novation
ZeRO SL MKII MIDI Controller

robust controller with intuitive automap

OVERVIEW
Updated version of the popular the Remote Zero SL. The MKII is a robust controller that combines the features of a drum pad controller and a slider/knob controller with a huge and informative backlit display system (displays control information to user). In addition, the Zero SL MKII also features intuitive plug-in mapping thanks to Automap 3 PRO and advanced software control.

FEATURES
The Zero SL MKII features a huge array of touch-sensitive controls - broken down into 8 Encoders (Infinite Rotation) with touch-sensitivity and 11 segment Led rings, 8 Pots (270 Rotation) with touch-sensitivity, 8 60mm Sliders with touch-sensitivity, 32 Buttons with integrated LEDs (37 in MIDI mode), 8 soft feel Trigger pads, and a crossfader - giving you total control on stage or in the studio. There is also a giant 144-character ultra-bright LCD screen that displays all the parameter names and values for the currently selected row of controllers. All 8 faders and 16 knobs are touch sensitive, so the moment one is touched, the display shows the names and values on that row and puts brackets around the controller that is currently being touched. This enables the user to see which parameter is assigned to the controller without having to change the value, or refer to their software. ZeRO SL Mk II also has a dedicated 'Speed Dial' knob, which can be used to change the value of any parameter the cursor is positioned over without making any assignments whatsoever (as seen on the Nocturn). In addition, SL Mk II comes with Automap 3 Pro software which enables you to instantly and intelligently map software parameters to faders, buttons, encoders and pots and other controllers, eliminating all mapping headaches as well as a free software bundle with loops, soft synths and Ableton Live 7 Lite. USB powered.

- Mk II ships with the latest Automap 3 PRO

Numark
NS7 Controller w/ Serato ITCH

Designed by Numark in collaboration with Serato, NS7 is an all-in-one, high resolution DJ performance controller with the feel of a traditional DJ setup. NS7 combines an all-metal chassis with adjustable torque, motorized, aluminum-turntable platters, vinyl, and a professional audio interface to deliver a complete performance solution that will satisfy even the most hardcore turntablist.

A full complement of premium faders, knobs, buttons and the new Strip Search (patent pending) virtual-needle-drop control integrates seamlessly with the included Serato ITCH software. NS7 delivers hands-on control of every aspect of Serato ITCH and sends data to the software more than ten times faster than standard MIDI resolution, resulting in a rock-solid hardware/software DJ system that works with Mac or PC and feels as good as it looks.

Serato ITCH is completely compatible with Serato Scratch LIVE crates, loops, and cue points, so the Scratch Live DJ can step up to NS7 without missing a beat.

REAL FEEL
NS7 has two seven-inch, motorized, high-torque aluminum turntable platters. The turntable controls feature modern and classic settings that alter the feel to model the feel you prefer. Seven-inch, legit vinyl records with 45RPM adapters sit on real slipmats. There's no simulation here - NS7 is the real deal.

Solid, rugged, rubberized buttons and knobs compliment a high precision, replaceable CP-PRO crossfader and D-TYPE line faders for an unquestionably high-quality feel. We selected the CP-PRO digital-VCA crossfader because it is outstandingly durable with low wear for a long life. It has a solid feel that is smooth and rigid. It's only natural that our finest crossfader is a component of our finest controller. We selected high-performance, D-Type digital-VCA line faders for their rugged, long-life performance. Like the crossfader, the line faders are replaceable. The crossfader offers contour adjust and reverse adjustment, enabling you to customize its operation.

SYSTEM SIMPLICITY
A single USB cable between NS7 and your Mac or PC is all you need to send audio and data back and forth. NS7 has onboard audio outputs so it's the only piece of gear you need to connect to the PA system or powered speakers.
NS7 outputs 24-bit, 44.1 kHz digital audio to the sound system on XLRs and RCAs. The front panel contains mic input, RCA line input, and both 1/4" and 1/8" headphone outputs with volume control.

NS7 comes with an integrated laptop stand that supplies safe, secure mounting for your laptop. You can use an ultra-small space because NS7 elevates your laptop off the table.

PRECISION CONTROL
NS7 sends control information over USB at more than ten times the standard MIDI rate. This innovative communication technique yields extremely high-precision, low-latency control.

There's nothing like dropping the needle on a record for quickly locating a point in the track. We took that idea and developed our own modern take on it with Strip Search, the unique virtual-needle-drop touch strip. You can locate a point instantly within the track using the on-screen waveform and Strip Search.

Five hot-cue-assign buttons on each deck digitally mark your cues on the track. These marker points are recallable in ITCH and Scratch LIVE, and you can load Scratch LIVE cue points in ITCH.

Numark developed an extensive Serato-style loop section on each deck for creative remix capabilities. You can choose between manual and auto-loop functions and an automatic BPM analyzer further assists loop makers. Creating automatic smart loops of any measure length is a breeze, and you can mutilate and modify to heart's content with a variety of controls such as Doubling, Halving, Shift, and manual controls. Multiple loop banks per deck make NS7 a great choice for scratch and club DJs alike.

Beat matching is straight ahead with 100mm, smooth, stiff pitch sliders and plus and minus buttons, by popular request, for bending. There's a zero-point LED, so it's easy to know when you're in the middle.

SERATO ITCH SOFTWARE
Serato ITCH is already familiar if you use Scratch LIVE. The new program builds on Scratch LIVE's popularity and adds some key, new features. ITCH doesn't require a timecode interface, so the system can be as simple as, say, NS7 and your computer! Since ITCH makes timecode a thing of the past, you won't need to worry about needles skipping or vinyl wearing out. You can load your Scratch LIVE crates, loops, presets, and cue points seamlessly in ITCH. NS7 also works with most other MIDI DJ software and supports iTunes.

ITCH is a high-performance portable music system with internal mixing and platter-style playback control. Because it is designed specifically for use with hardware control, ITCH has a clean information display.

ITCH handles audio processing and mixing including channel fading, EQ, crossfading and track trim are processed for outstanding control and management of your tracks, ease of recording your set, clip-proof gain management, and BPM calculation using the power of your computer's processor.

Serato's unique color waveforms provide an easy identification of sound and changes in the track. ITCH can set and store cue-points. It offers three-range pitch control: +/-8%, +/-16%, and +/-50% with Key Lock for manipulation of pitch and tempo independently.

ITCH has library management tools for backup and restoring your music. Advanced input and mix recording capabilities include recording your mix or just the aux input for sampling. The software supports AIFF, WAV, MP3, and AAC audio files.

Total Computer DJ in a Box w/ Traktor LE Software

Odyssey
LSTAND Digital DJ Laptop Stand - Black

Odyssey's LStand is a laptop stand similar to the HiRise stand by Serato. The LStand is designed to elevate your laptop over your DJ setup, eliminating the "where do I put my laptop while I DJ" problem. In addition the height-adjustable, elevated angle gives you easier access to your laptop controls.

The LStand works as a stand-alone component as well as an extension for a dj coffin or table. Remove the two bottom supports and replace them with the included clamps, and the LStand will attach onto any surface up to 2 1/8" thick. The clamps can angled in 2 different directions, allowing you to attach it both to a flat table or the vertical side of a DJ coffin. When not in use, the LStand conveniently folds flat into the box that it comes in.

There are several differences with the LStand and the HiRise stands. First, as mentioned, the HiRise can be used in several different situations, while the HiRise only works as a stand-alone component. Secondly, the LStand is much heavier than the HiRise (5.5 vs 1.5 lbs in the box). Depending on your situation, this can work for or against you. The extra weight will provide a sturdier surface, but at the expense of 4 traveling pounds. In addition, boxes to both models serve as the carrying case. The HiRise case is made of a sturdy lightweight plastic. The LStand comes in a cardboard case which will not stand up to frequent travel. Lastly, the LStand comes in at a more inexpensive price.

OVERVIEW
Rane's Sixty Eight is the first professional DJ mixer with two USB 2.0 High Speed ports with support for real-time connection of two computers meaning two DJs can use Scratch Live in parallel and/or seamlessly transition from one DJ to another.

There is a 3band fullcut EQ on each channel with new high/low pass filter. The 2 independent USB 2.0 High Speed ports, each supporting twenty-two, 32-bit floating-point audio channels at 48 kHz that supports real-time connection of two computers.

Rane
SL 1 - Serato Scratch Live

OVERVIEW
Serato Scratch is a digital djing system that works in a very similar manner to Final Scratch. The combination of the Serato Scratch system and a computer will allow you to manipulate digital music files using the traditional turntable/CD turntable setup. Using Serato's specially encoded control records (included), you can scratch and mix, just like you are using traditional records. Having been in the developmental stage for several years, Serato has partnered up Rane to release this product. With this partnership comes the Rane stamp of quality and excellent customer service, which automatically makes this a viable option to Final Scratch.

To use Serato Scratch, connect your turntables to the included hub which connects to your mixer and computer. Using the Serato software, you then locate your digital music files on your hard drive and load them into the Serato program. Now using the included control records, you can manipulate those files just as you would a traditional record. Serato's program also allows many additional digital features including beat extraction, real time tempo metering, waveform coloring based on spectral content, multiple cue points per track, and full iTunes library integration.

Rane
SL3 - Serato Scratch Live

OVERVIEW
The SL 3 is the long awaited, upgraded version of the popular SL 1 Serato interface. This new version boasts much improved audio quality thanks to 24-bit audio processing, better dynamic range, USB 2.0 connectivity, and auxiliary inputs/outputs all in a light, compact unit.

FEATURES
Like the world standard SL 1, the SL 3 connects one or two standard vinyl or CD turntables to your computer and the mixer of your choice. Using regular turntables or CD players, you can scratch and mix files from your Mac or Windows computer's CD or hard drive with the control records or CDs.

The newly enhanced, premium grade preamps and 24-bit audio processing allows the compact new SL 3 to produce a richer, warmer sound than its predecessor. The new auxiliary outputs
allow DJs and electronic musicians to intensify the mix with the Scratch Live SP-6 Sample Player. The auxiliary inputs provide a live input feed for creative sampling or recording your set. Use any combination of audio sources: control CD, control vinyl, MIDI or regular CDs and vinyl for more flexibility than ever.

In addition, the SL3 comes with software switchable Direct Thru connections which means less cable required, independent line/phono-level selection for each input for greater flexibility, galvanic isolation prevents computer noise from interfering with audio path, and included international power supply and soft carry case.

MAIN UPGRADES
- new auxiliary input to take the record out of your mixer and send signal back in to serato to record your live sets, mic sample, etc

- new 3rd output. In software upgrades to come this will be used for a 3rd deck, for now, it is used to send samples from the sample bank to a 3rd channel on your mixer. You CAN load full songs on this sample player as is

- one less set of cables to connect to mixer as the "thru" signal can be toggled in software now (if you wanted to use the 1200 or the CDJ to play a normal cd or record without disconnecting the entire setup)

- ships with Serato version 1.8.4 which is an adapted version of 1.8.3. fully stable and incorporates some of the new features in 1.9

- 24 bit instead of the previous 16 bit box

stronger USB connection to withstand wear and tear

- smaller and lighter design

- carrying case and power adapter included

Rane
TTM 57SL Mixer + Serato

OVERVIEW:
With the TTM-57, Rane has raised the bar for 2 channel mixers once again. This mixer is built on the platform of their TTM-56 (already the gold standard for 2 channel mixers), and features the Serato Live program built-in. The immediate effect is that you no longer need the Serato hub, but you can also control the Serato program directly from the mixer and they've included tons of new features as well.

FEATURES
Obviously, the main draw here is having an all-in-one digital/analog mixing system. The TTM-57 not only comes with the Serato software for your computer, but it also features the Serato interface built right into the mixer. So all you need to do is plug the TTM-57 directly into your computer without the hassle of an external hub + wires. The TTM-57 also features on board controls for the Serato program which basically allow you to control everything within the software from your mixer, so you'll barely need to touch the computer. In a new move, the TTM-57 has on board effects (filter and delay) with six possible insert points, assignable to pre- or post-channel faders for both programs. It also features recording capability (record your mix directly onto your laptop), and many more useful tweaks to the Serato / TTM-56 systems. Full features will be explored once this mixer is in stock.

OUR OPINION
This is an extremely impressive mixer, and another great step in the Rane line. The TTM-56 was already our favorite 2 channel mixer, and Serato the preferred digital dj'ing solution for most djs, so the combination of the two is nothing short of revolutionary. As with all Rane products, you can be ensured of the highest quality across the board- durability, parts, sound quality, user friendliness, customer service and everything else. Highly recommended.

Podium CoolPad for Laptops

Any Mac laptop owner knows that they get rather hot very quickly. When performing Serato based DJing, overheating can be detrimental to your laptop's speed. One specific problem is when you laptop lies flush on a surface, which intensifies the heat. Enter the simple PodiumPad. This very portable accessory (fits in a laptop bag) lifts your laptop at an angle, allowing for natural cooling convection. In addition, the angle makes it more ergonomic for using the keyboard. The angle is customizable with a stacking design (similar to legos), and in addition, the pad pivots 360 degrees (but with enough resistance to avoid pivoting while typing). The entire unit is very sturdy and holds you laptop firmly in place. Works with all Mac Powerbooks and iBooks.
- keeps laptop cooler than if placed on flat surface
- adjustable ergonomic angle

The Video-SL software plug-in adds the ability to playback, mix and manipulate video files through Serato using version 1.9. Manage video clips as you would with audio files through the Serato library browser and load them onto virtual decks to control with your Serato vinyl or CDs to add a whole new dimension to your performance. Mix clips with a variety of transitions, add effects to video clips and more. The mixed output can be sent to your computer's secondary display for connection to external monitors and/or projectors. The Video-SL package comes with everything you need to get started mixing video including the installation CD, bonus videos and loops, quick start guide and manual, and handy mixer overlays that label the knobs, switches and faders on the TTM57-SL with their video functions. Works on both PC and Mac. Requires Serato version 1.9 or the TTM-57SL for use.
