Pioneer are clearly keen to branch into the laptop DJ arena, and hot on the heels of their DDJ-S1 Serato Itch Controller is this, the DDJ-T1 which is aimed at Native Instruments Traktor user base. I don’t know if I would prefer this or a set of CDJ350s, but it does look promising for laptop DJs.

Bundled with TRAKTOR PIONEER DDJ-T1 EDITION software, this new controller from Pioneer delivers all of the most popular TRAKTOR features without the need to upgrade the software. Four-channel deck control, six effects and recording all come as standard, meaning that the DDJ-T1 helps DJs unlock the full potential of the software at no extra cost. Native Instruments have been clearly making waves with their S4 and this looks like a serious rival

According to the blurb, the Pioneer DDJ-T1 combines the familiarity of TRAKTOR with Pioneer operability to deliver high-level performance.

Those of you who know me, know I love my iPhone! Even more than that, I am known to fire up Touch DJ and spin a few tunes while out and about. Well there’s a new piece of hardware out for the iPad that looks to blow this out the water. I’m not too sure on the faux records, as I prefer a waveform to look at. Needless to say, this looks promising!

Algoriddim, the makers of the popular djay application for Mac, has ported djay over to the iPad, taking full advantage of the new iOS 4.2 audio features.

• Fully leverages accelerated CPU extensions (SSE-like) for high-quality audio processing and analysis

What do you think? Will this further kill vinyl or even dare I say it CDJs? It surely has put a final nail in the coffin of Tonium’s current Pacemaker.
