Pacemaker Pocket DJ System

Been checkin this toy out for a little while now and after tax returns looks like I can finally pick one up. Anyone own one or have any experice with one? Checked out the very informative website (pacemaker.net) and it looks very capable of most of the features any modern DJ system contains. Any info helps...thx

Check out ellaskins (DJ Tutor) on youtube. He's done a bunch of vids on it.

It looks really cool and intuitive, but I just dont know what I'd use it for on a regular basis. I suppose I could justify it instead of getting a new IPod or something, or if I took public transportation on a regular basis.

still would be nice to practice beatmatching whenever you can

unless you've been DJing for a little bit and beatmatching really isnt a problem?

I see it as merely a good time killer. There's no professional use in this.

Would be very fun for car trips. For $300 US I'll buy, but for the current price hell no!

i've got one and love it. I travel loads for work so its great for the lonely hotel room nights. as far as its going to take over, i dont think so at all, its a handy toy to practice and experiment with mixes when u can access a full setup. I prefer playing with my 1200s but they r a bit tough to pack up and travel with. A bit pricey but worth it if you travel lots.

i'd rather buy an asus eee pc and just run traktor on it or something.

this pacemaker toy is a complete rip off. i wouldn't even buy it if i was rich, seems like such a useless piece of shit.

Tried it a couple of weeks ago (drunk though, lol).
And what I really disliked is that you, of course, are limited to only do one thing at a time.. reminded me of the old days when when I tried to mix using my keyboard and mouse on a PC

That does not sound good at all. Thanks for your review.
I hated the feel of djing on the pc with a mouse and keyboard.

Yeah the price is what was really detering me...thx for the input def lookin into pickin up the Asus Eee and I already have Tractor and a MIDI mixer, that shouldnt be an issue considering the somewhat resticted speed and memory of the Eee right?? anyone heard of using that specific setup just to mess around...

According to the specs, Traktor needs at least a 1ghz processor and 1 gig of ram. The top model EEE only uses a 900mhz proc, and that's the only one with 1 gig of ram. All the others are 512 with an even slower clock.

For the $600 bucks that the top EEE PC costs, (that still wouldn't run it) you could get a refurbed/used laptop with far more power that would be able to do what you want.

thx man for the heads up, sounded like a good plan, but i guess it wont work...

It's an over priced IPOD.
