This shits pretty cool, its called the iDJ... FinalScratch eat your heart out

Numark (manufacturer of quality DJ equipment) will be releasing the long-awaited iPod mixer today as part of summer 2005's product line, the iDJ is a two channel mixer with the ability to accept all iPod models with dock connector ports. The mixer will be retailing for around $399, which shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're already rocking TWO iPods.

but seriously, its a good idea probably for people who want to move out of traktor. I bet the sound quality is somethingawful but.

niffty little concept, except its missing one thing... pitch control

i thought that too jace, but perhaps its the mixer itself that modifies the input's pitch.

yeh it would have to but I cant see anything that resembles a pitch slider on that mixer

maybe its designed for shonky hip-hop mixing

The idea of rocking up to a gig with just two portable harddrives (ie the ipods) is attractive, but i reckon the ipod hard drive would be too slow for this to work effectively anyway.

This was posted in the DJ Booth a while ago and just recently too. I think its pointless and a pretty silly idea. Think about the money your spending on two ipods and the mixer. Also, unless that jogwheel is going to be the pitch control then it has no hope of becoming more then a toy i think because honestly how can you mix decently without pitch control.

Really wonder if this will take off. Be interesting to see it in action.

...it honestly has NO pitch control? how the hell are you supposed to dj with that, i guess you could have an entire set running at the same BPM
