DJ Music

The Pacemaker has been making the rounds for a while now and I’ve blogged about it on previous DJ blogs. after 6 months of waiting however its finally here, in my hands.

I arrived at my desk at work this morning to discover an unobtrusive brown box sitting there waiting for me. opening it up, was the Pacemaker box, neatly set in jet glossy black. opening the box like a kid, all the parts of the Pacemaker were neatly displayed in a foam fitted interior. All the cables were neatly wrapped in black paper, in boxes, a nifty small touch music lovers will like are the fortune cookie-like quotes found on the lid of each box.

Holding the Pacemaker, its not as heavy as I expected but it does seem solidly built, its no bigger than a PSP, and has that same class and quality with a matt black finish, it just sits perfectly, testament to its Scandinavian roots.

so what does the pacemaker do?

Basically its a portable DJ device, which help you to DJ music on the move, it’s ideally suited to standard two deck DJs, as whilst it has its own bank of effects, its really a DJ tool for DJs on the go rather than a DJ product for DJing in a club (though I don’t doublt you would be able to do that as well) The portable DJing device essentially has two input channels, and two output channels, the surface of the DJ device essentially controls both channels, and acts as the mixer as well, so with a single ‘turntable’ a button for each channel, a cross fader and EQs for each channel, this means that the guys as Tonium Pacemaker have managed to squeeze all that into something the size of a PSP.

As the Pacemaker is digital, its important that it supports multiple music formats as well, and the Pacemaker certainly delivers here, in addition to the hardware of the DJ unit itself, there is the software offered free on the pacemaker site here. The Pacemaker software is essentially a sequence based DJ software, and is very straight forward and offers a rather innovative way of creating mixes, you simply drag, drop the mix filter you want, such as cross fade, then alter the graph that appears.

Finally as an icing on the cake, an online DJ community has been formed to allow DJs to upload their music and mingle with like minded PaceDJs.

All in all I’m profoundly happy I ordered the Pacemaker and would definitely recommend that any DJ looking to DJ music on the go shell out and get the Pacemaker. Pre-orders are being taken by one of DJ Music’s sponsors, Dolphin Music.
