PIONEER CDJ-400 EL NUEVO PRODIGIO

Posted In: , . By indiegente



Pioneer today announces its new CDJ-400 deck - a flexible, affordable feature-packed performance player for the aspiring club DJ to use at home.

Designed by DJs for DJs and drawing inspiration from Pioneer's industry standard CDJ-1000 series, this latest member of the world-famous CDJ family is fully geared up to serve the next generation of digital artists. The CDJ-400 allows DJs to play their MP3 collection off CD-R/RW discs as well as music from mass storage USB devices, such as USB keys, external hard drives and portable media devices. The deck also features the world’s first Scratch Jog Effects, with three creative scratch effects and an amazing new Loop Divide function. Virtually all of the button and slider functions can send MIDI data via USB output, making it possible for the decks to control DJ software and other applications, such as Pioneer DJS or Serato Scratch LIVE on a PC or MAC. The CDJ-400 deck is a perfect partner for the DJM-400 mixer and together they provide the ultimate home party set-up.

Digital media playback
The CDJ-400 handles CD Audio and MP3 files from CD, while USB connectivity lets DJs draw upon sound libraries on external storage devices. Through the new push-selection Rotary Scroll Wheel and Back Button, users can navigate files and folders as simply and quickly as on many of the leading portable media players available today.

MIDI control via USB
With Pioneer's finger firmly on the pulse of digital DJ developments, it is only natural that the CDJ-400 can control DJ and music application software. This is achieved by simply selecting the PC Source Select button, so that virtually all of the deck's buttons and slider can send MIDI control data via the PC USB connection. So when MIDI is the message, the CDJ-400 definitely delivers. For example, a DJ can connect the CDJ-400 to a PC or MAC and play and manipulate files from their favourite DJ application software – such as Pioneer DJS or Serato Scratch LIVE – and this doesn’t even require a time-code disc to be used in the deck.

New illuminated Jog Wheel
With a design inspired by the club standard CDJ-1000 Jog Wheel comes the CDJ-400’s 115mm illuminated platter. You can choose from six different patterns of Jog Wheel illumination and even personalise your own CDJ 'slip mats' or jog sheets.

New Scratch Jog Effects
In addition to the Digital Jog Break Effects (JET, WAH and ROLL) found in CDJ Mode, Pioneer serves up the world's first Scratch Jog Effects, BUBBLE, TRANS and WAH, in vinyl mode. BUBBLE simulates a scratch technique and is great for spin backs, while TRANS is like rhythmically transforming with a mixer’s cross fader and WAH resembles the guitar Wah pedal.

ROLAND MV-8000 NO ESTAS SOÑANDO

Posted In: , . By indiegente


Roland MV8000 Production Studio
From making beats to sampling and CD-burning, the MV-8000 Production Studio does it all, fast and elegantly. Sample your own sounds or import Roland, Akai, ACID and .WAV libraries, then arrange it all using 16 velocity/aftertouch-sensitive pads and Roland's most powerful audio/MIDI sequencer. Add a selection of professional COSM effects, onboard mastering tools, a built-in CD-RW drive and USB port, and you've got the ultimate studio for today's producers.

A Complete Studio for Modern Production
While there are other hardware studios on the market, none can compete with the MV-8000's ability to quickly turn raw samples into song. With up to 101 minutes of sampling and compatibility with a wide range of audio formats, the MV-8000 offers unlimited possibilities. And sequencing is easy, thanks to 16 velocity-sensitive pads and a graphic LCD interface. Users can record up to 128 MIDI and eight audio tracks, apply effects and burn a CDmaking the MV-8000 the first Roland product capable of handling every part of the production process.

From Sample to Finished CD
Thanks to the onboard CD-RW drive, producers can create entire songs armed with only an MV-8000 and their favorite CDs. The sampler can load sample libraries ranging from Roland and Akai to .WAV and ACID formats-?all with just a few simple commands. Then it's just a matter of tapping in some beats, arranging the song and adding effects before burning it all to an audio CD.

Massive 40GB Hard Drive
While audio and samples are played back using the onboard sample RAM, the MV-8000 can store its sounds and projects to an internal 40GB hard disk. This makes it easy to manage large sound libraries, once they have been converted to MV-8000 format, and it's also a great way to load sequences quickly during performance. When connected via USB, the hard drive can be accessed directly from a computer's desktop.

AKAI MPC 1000 ROCK THE BEATS!!

Posted In: , , . By indiegente



It can host a very decent amount of memory (128MB) so you can capture very long samples in high quality (16 Bit, 44.1 Khz). 16 MB is very usable to start with actually, so you can live without it as you first learn how to use it. The extra 128 MB module can usually be found at a bit more than $100 and is not a standard memory module.

The built-in separate outputs, 2 for the main stereo + 4 assignable, makes it easy to route the sounds you want to separate tracks on your mixer or DAW. The MPC1000 comes standard with effects: 2 separate FX sections + a dedicated EQ and a dedicated Compressor on the MAIN OUT.

It can re-sample its own output while playing. This can be used in many ways: for example you can save a whole song as a WAV file on the Compact Flash card - very handy - or to apply effects and combine sounds together, and remap the result to other pads, etc.

It accepts "Type 2" Compact Flash cards like the ones used in many digital cameras. Those will work with models as large as 2 Gigabytes. It is a good idea to get a bigger Compact Flash card than the 32 MB one that's shipped with the MPC. You can work with it for a while but you will feel limited as far as saving large "programs" (a program is a collection of WAV files, plus a PGM file with the pad assignment and envelope information. You don't need to buy the largest CF Card however, because in my opinion those are too expensive right now... However the 256 and 512 MB ones are cheap enough considering how much they hold. Those cards are pretty small and my advice is to also buy a solid case to hold all of them.

AKAI MPC 2000 THE OLD SCHOOL

Posted In: , . By indiegente




The MPC-2000 is a professional and user-expandable 64-track sampler-sequencer workstation. Its sampler is like the S-2000 which comes with 2MB sample memory which can be expanded to 32MB. Sampling specs are variable 22 and 44.1 kHz sample rates in stereo or mono and at 16- or 8-bit resolutions. All the necessary edit tools are here: time comp/exp, tune, pitch shift, truncate, looping, key placement, velocity effects and more. Up to 32 voices of polyphony, complete MIDI implementation, a built-in disk drive and a SCSI interface prepare this sampler for any situation.

The sequencer is intuitive and fun to use. It will do notes as fast as 32nd notes and can record in real- or step-time. There are several sequence edit functions. Swing and quantizing functions also available. The MPC-2000 is designed to be the centerpiece of your music production studio. It will transmit sync and MIDI information too. Individual tracks can be muted for building and changing your music live! The MPC series of sequencer samplers have long been the standard means of HipHop and TripHop music creation.

The MPC-2000 and MPC-2000XL can be upgraded to include up to 8 outputs, digital I/O, 4 multi-effects processors, expanded filters, 8MB Flash ROM board, SMPTE board, MPC Sound Library, and alternate internal disk storage mediums can be added. The MPC-2000 is a classic, and still perfect, entry level, studio quality sampler-sequencer that you can use to start making killer HipHop tracks just like the pros do! It has been used by Cirrus, Todd Terry, Underworld, Roni Size, A Guy Called Gerald, Freddy Fresh, Linkin Park, DJ Premier, Primo, Kanye West, DJ Shadow, Dr. Dre and Apollo 440.
