algoriddim releases djay 4.0 for Mac -
Introducing Harmonic Match
algoriddim has released version 4 of djay for Mac.
Optimized for OS X Lion,
djay 4.0 for Mac features a
visual interface that enables music lovers of all types to compose beats, DJ a
party, create playlists or simply enable Automix and enjoy their iTunes
collection in a whole new way.
djay for Mac continues to build upon algoriddim’s philosophy of creating
accessible DJ tools for all users. Pros and beginners alike will find new
features, such as Harmonic Match and enhanced audio FX, significantly
improve the experience of mixing music on the Mac. With the introduction of
the new visual key match wheel, djay automatically registers a song’s key and
matches it to songs of the same key within an iTunes music library. This
first-of-its-kind integration of harmonic mixing capabilities enables easy
mashups that are pitch-perfect.
With the needs of professional DJs in mind, djay for Mac now has even more
pro-level features such as: visual waveforms, customizable audio FX, advanced
MIDI integration, and the ability to change the color scheme from light to
dark for easier viewing in nightclubs or anywhere the lights are low.
“With the latest release of djay for Mac, we think our fans will be
excited to experience a new class of features that encourage fun and
interactivity. Combining everything we learned from our successful iPad and
iPhone apps, we have re-written djay from the ground up. We are particularly
excited about our latest innovation, Harmonic Match, which greatly simplifies
the complex task of finding songs that sound great when mixed together,”
said Karim Morsy, CEO of algoriddim. “Our highly successful iPad and
iPhone apps have clearly shown that the way forward for software is with the
App Store, therefore we are shifting our distribution of djay for Mac
exclusively to the Mac App Store, as we believe it is the future for the Mac
platform.”
djay for Mac includes more than a dozen new features that take the
possibilities for all DJs to a new level:
djay 4.0 for Mac is available exclusively from the Mac App Store and is
compatible with OS X Lion, Snow Leopard, and Leopard.
