So for the handful of (un)lucky few who managed to get ahold of their pacemaker with special limited edition numbers etched into the backplate, most of you will now have realized that the number had scratched off and has ceased to exist, however, all is not lost.

As you may have noticed, the laser etching detailing your unique Premiere Edition number on the back of your Pacemaker is fading. This daunting effect is due to insufficient testing of the laser etching technique in combination with the exclusive Pacemaker coating. Nevertheless, this is certainly as upsetting as it is unacceptable and we are, of course, committed to rectifying this problem.

I for one am keen to take advantage of this and have my Pacemaker re-etched, after all it is a part of DJing history, and technical innovation.

Just a quick note, to let you all know, the Pacemaker Editor 1.0.3 is now out, so  a new upgrade which will hopefully tackle a lot of the glitches and bugs on he Pacemaker DJing device and the Pacemaker editor so far. Fingers crossed, I’ve only just downloaded it, but will have to give it a try.

One DJ has created a Pacemaker Stand to allow the Pacemaker to fit into him DJ setup, whilst its home made, its not difficult to create, simply, a small platform with foam and a small piller stand, whats great about these photos is that it shows the pacemaker in context of a DJ set up, again showing the flexibility of the Pacemaker as a DJ device, the fact that the Pacemaker can be used by a DJ not just as a portable DJ device but also as an addition to an existing DJ setup really shows how the Pacemaker will influence DJ music.

After a long day at a convention, its was a real surprise to get a call from the guys as the Pacemaker asking how well the Pacemaker was, I was actually really chuffed as I’ve never had a company call and as how their product was doing and if I was please with it. It just goes to show the Pacemaker really know what their doing and really respect their customers and target audience, I can see loads of lager companies that could learn a lesson or two from the performance of Pacemaker, and I for one will definitely continue to be a loyal customer if their sterling performance continues.

Sometimes, I shake my head, i suppose it wasn’t going to be too long before someone was going to point out the obvious pun in the Pacemaker name..ie heart Pacemaker = DJ Pacemaker…get it? get it? sheesh, still its wonderful that the Pacemaker has made it into the viral community.

After a few weeks with the Pacemaker, I must say I’m still really chuffed, there was a handful of times when it crashed, but considering its new, thats to be expected and I think future software upgrades will help this. This being said I’ve been thinking about what would be good for future upgrades

I’m keen to see the addition of more sophisticated effects and definitely a storage for multiple loops. I’d also love to get a case for the Pacemaker, after all its not exactly the cheapest of players. Perhaps even some custom headphones. (more pacemaker aticles by DJ music here)

One thing that irritates me is the strap that comes with the pacemaker, perhaps a branded or cooler strap would be a nice addition, plain black nylon seems a tab bit…bland. I’d also like to see some protective ’skins’ like those by Gela skin for the Pacemaker, to customize the design on the Pacemaker, even engraving would be great.

One thing I’d also like is backup parts, considering how much use my Pacemaker gets, I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later I’ll need to replace buttons and what not, I’d like spares of these Pacemaker parts made available and some sort of repair service as well.

With the initial less than perfect but still warmly welcomed launch of the Pacemaker Portable DJ device the gadget freaks at Pacemaker have just announced another upgrade for the Pacemaker software, this should help clear up many of the exisitng glitches that have made DJing on the Pacemaker a little bit of a bother, and should provide Pacemaker DJs with more functionality…slowly slowly step by step, we’re getting there, personally I still love the Pacemaker.

So whats in the release for May?

• Mix save functionality; save your DJ sets and transfer them to the Editor.
• Mix playback; save mixes on the Editor and transfer them to Pacemaker, filter on mixes for playback as ordinary playlists. For the next release you will be able to playback mixes on your device as they were created on the device and/or Editor.
• Assorted bug fixes: freeze problems, display timeout and user interface improvements.

Just to illustrate how flexible and portable the Pacemaker portable DJ device is, here’s an interesting video of a bloke DJing music on the Pacemaker at the beach, he seems to have a head cam of some sort as well, but most importantly, this reinforces the need for a Pacemaker case of some sort.

Today saw me taking a rather long road trip from one end of the UK to Wales, naturally I was with a few DJ friends and the Pacemaker was road tested, on the road.

The two DJs I was with were both experienced professional DJs, one as a mobile DJ and the other as a Club DJ for a few clubs in London, both were impressed by the size and ease of use presented by the Pacemaker when DJing music. Seeing as all three of us were pretty geeky when it comes to technology, we also had an iPhone and various other accessories to play music via a car sound system.

Setting up the Pacemaker with the line out going to the car sound system, and headphones on my head, we then put the Pacemaker through its Paces, considering were going at around 70 down a dual carriage way, the sound quality and ease of use became apparent even to the two DJs who’d never touched the unit before.

suffice to day, compared with the iPhone, the sound quality is fantastic, the fact that you can use it on the in-car stereo again add to its portability and functionality. Being also a bit of a car fanatic, we could see the raise in car park raves or rave at highway lay-bys. check out the Pacemaker here.

You can find the first Pacemaker Control article here.

In the first article we had a look a the basic controls for the Pacemaker Portable DJ device. Being an all in one DJ unit with two channels, a cross fader and the software to support high, mid and low EQ variation on each channel, four sound effects on each channel, head phone monitoring and pitch control on each channel, the Pacemaker is extreamly versitile as far as DJ units of this size go, and when you compare it to an iPod or any other MP3 player you are leaps and bounds ahead in terms of control over music and actually DJ usefulness.

The Pacemaker, as a result, does as a result require you to learn and get used to the controls. So, here is the next step in our look at the Pacemaker controls.

Search and set cue points
on the channel you want to select a cue point on, press pause at the point you want to start, use the fast forward and rewind button for a wider search, and use the touch pad for a finer search, press the cue button to set the cue point.

Adjusting BPM and beatmatching on the Pacemaker
Once the cue point has been selected, shift the P-button upwards to and rotate upwards on the edge of the Pacemaker touch pad to increase the BPM, rotate downwards on the Pacemaker touch pad to lower the BPM. rotating upwards or downwards on the Pacemaker touch pad will pitch bend, temporarily adjusting the pitch of the music when you DJ.

Adjusting EQ and gain
selecte the channel, the from the center of the Pacemaker touch pad, draw your finger north south east or west to activate the control of either the high, mid, low EQs or gain.

I guess its to be expected that a new product with the level of innovation and ground breaking technology in it as the Pacemaker portable DJ device, will naturally have some glitches and bugs.

I was thinking about it an essentially the Premier edition of the Unit i.e. the Pacemaker batch the went out with the collectors number etched on the back, is essentialy a beta launch of the Pacemaker, and a lot of the glitches and bugs are being fixed through live DJs actually using it.

From my personal experience I haven’t had any challenges, however, looking on the Pacemaker forum, it seems some DJs are getting frustrated with DJing music on the pacemaker.

The only glitches I’ve had with the Pacemaker, are 1 upgrading the firmware for the actual Pacemaker Unit, 2. getting the beatmatching to sync, the BPM varies throughout a track with no consistency, 3. duplicate tracks on the Pacemaker unit, and the editor, which with a music libary like mine means about 4 hours of trying to de duplicate the entire list everytime the Pacemaker gets connected.

Whilst its frustrating for now, I’m hoping that this gets sorted by coming upgrades.
