New DJ tools on IPAD? Lets rock!

With Apple now allowing all Ipad apps to directly access music in the Itunes music library, a bevy of new programs will begin to offer the first peeks at what future ipad djing might look like. In the example above, the Djay software from Algoriddim has been ported over  to the Ipad with a few nice touch elements that appear to work quite well. Numark also explores the paradigm of auto mixing with the IDJ app, which we have after the break.

Soooooo, welcome! The new Numark IDJ IPAD APP

There is one other application (that we know of) that is currently taking advantage of the new Itunes access. It’s a Numark release called IDJ that enables mix tape/mix sequence creation with “patented” auto Beatmatching technology. It appears to be a really simplified version of Ableton’s sequence view where you can lay out a mix and draw in transitions with automatic tempo matching. Perhaps for a quick and dirty tempo-matched playlist, this might be a handy tool to have around.

What do you think of these apps?  We are still waiting with baited breath for all the crazy controller apps that will surely surface once MIDI-In and Out is finally released in 4.2. A preview of what might be coming is the following video; weird out of the box interfaces that combine animated graphics, multi -touch and a smidgen of magic.

 

This was a little disappointing as a DJ app because you can not add songs on the fly from your iPod library without stopping the mix (party killer) :(. Also the transitions between songs were often too long and would cut off vocals. If you are mixing club or dance versions of songs with 32 beat intros and breaks this App will work very well for automatic beat and tempo matches as well as mixing in key. This would not be useful for DJ'ing a wedding where you wanted to set up 15 cocktail hour songs and have the App auto DJ for you or needed to play two slow songs back to back. Room for improvement. But anyway, makes a great hobby club DJ App!

Toyota's violin robot

Toyota doesn't only make cars, they're pretty big on robotics too. Case in hand - this new robot that is dextrous enough to play a violin! Its musical talent is made possible via 17 joints in both its hands and arms, boasting precise control and co-ordination that resembles human-like dexterity. This robot can achieve vibrato on a violin similar to that created by humans, but don't expect him to belt out Paganini tunes to the audience anytime soon. I suppose he is pretty nervous playing in front of large crowds - just look at his face that is as white as a ghost! The Toyota violin-playing robot stands 1.5m tall and weighs 56kg.

Toyota had made a big splash at the Shanghai World Expo with its violin-playing personal assistant. The humanoid robot plays its rendition of the Chinese folk song Mo Li Hua (jasmine flower) to demonstrate the versatility and precision of the robot’s movements. Rather than be a robot musician, the Toyota product is one of a series of concept personal helpers designed to be future nurses and assistants to the elderly.

While this is the first time we’ve seen the violin-playing robot, more significantly it signals that the company is getting even closer to producing commercial versions of shiny white robots to helps us out in hospitals and nursing homes. As the baby boomers start getting a little less mobile, robots like these are a very reasonable complement to human support.

So, back to this violin robot… the robot is mostly ordered several units by the nobles or great businessmen, which is usually used in entertaining guests. price to be around $ 1100 U.S. can play nonstop for 4 hours in a state of full battery. for you who love music, especially classical, and have excess money, you may want to try to buy it? haha hopefully worth how much costs have been incurred. Who knows,eh? ;)

    * On skype also nice to make friends. Since there are facilities find.
    * The quality of sound generated at the time would call skype better than the yahoo messenger.
Of course if there's no excess capacity deficiencies are also unfortunately Skype Skype is big enough to eat 23MB hard drive capacity when installed, compared with Yahoo Messenger that ate smaller capacity of about 10-15 MB.
Using the Skype way into our computers:

   1. Because Skype is free we can directly download the skype in http://skype.com
   2. then we install and we follow all the processes to skype installed on our computers.
   3. Add id / username of the person who will be added to the skype. Use the add menu contact contact or search. Before adding or conduct the search we should already have a username of the person to be added.
