Mixfader - the world's first wireless portable fader - works with Mixfader dj app (a free download). Together, they offer a pocket-sized yet ultra performing pro DJ setup to express your art anywhere, anytime. Add your portable turntable to this setup and take portable scratching to a whole new level.
Mixfader opens up new possibilities for the art of turntablism, putting smartphones/tablets at the core of the discipline: Mixfader dj app reproduces the behaviour and sound rendering of physical vinyls with extreme precision and reactivity, while Mixfader lets you keep the feel and grip of your everyday fader.
Mixfader has been thought to let you focus on your performance. Left or right handed? No need to worry about side cut, both sides of Mixfader are usable. Moreover, thanks to its adhesive bottom surface, Mixfader sticks to any support and withstand the sharper hand movements. And for optimal scratching comfort, Mixfader is supplied with 4 adhesive pads to put under your smartphone or tablet to prevent their shake. Mixfader dj displays a single vinyl with a marker to provide a large control surface, making the experience amazingly realistic. In addition, Mixfader dj offers a central waveform that follows the vinyl’s movements and gives a real-time graphic representation of the sound.
Last but not least, you will find on the main interface of the app all your points of reference: Pitch knob, Volume fader, hot cues, DJ FX. All this on two interchangeable decks for better control. For the first time compatible with both Timecode and standard audio vinyls, Mixfader is a real game changer. Simply plug your device to your turntable, connect Mixfader to your device and start scratching as always on your Vestax HandyTrax or Numark PT01. Both USB and analog turntables are usable.
Mixfader dj detects your turntable and automatically invites you to choose the dedicated display. This special ‘controller’ view has been designed to adapt to scratching on portable turntables. Out with the digital vinyl, this interface displays the audio spectrums, and colored pads to add cue points on each deck. In addition to the special controller view, Mixfader dj offers additional features and settings, specific to the turntable usage, like the threshold control that lets you set your audio device sensitivity to the ambient noise.
Mixfader dj also supports both DVS and standard audio vinyls. The compatible vinyls so far are: Serato CV02 A-side and B-side; Serato Control CD; Traktor MK1 A-side and B-side. MixVibes 7 and MixVibes V2 are also supported, but on iOS only for the moment. Last thing, you can scratch with Mixfader and two turntables (iOS only): you can plug two turntables on your soundcard and control each deck independently.
GarageBand, Traktor, Serato DJ… Mixfader can be used with the main music production software. Connect Mixfader to its Companion app - Mixfader Companion - through Bluetooth then activate the MIDI mode. The app lets you choose your MIDI mode and assign the control change number of your choice. You will also be able to activate the Hamster (reverse) switch. In addition, you will have access to information about your product such as the battery level, the crossfader cycles, or the connection counts.
