algoriddim Introduces the djay Remote App for iPhone and iPod Touch: the Power to Mix iTunes on the Move Is Now in Your Hands

Enables iTunes Users to Literally Touch, Mix and Spin Their Music Remotely

MUSIKMESSE 2010 (Booth # 5.1 A48), Frankfurt, Germany – March 23, 2010: algoriddim ( http://www.algoriddim.net ), a leader in next-generation music software for the Mac, today announced the release of djay Remote, an app that turns a user’s iPhone or iPod Touch into a fully-fledged DJ controller. Wirelessly syncing with algoriddim’s djay software on the Mac, djay Remote enables users to mix and play their iTunes music, whether they’re mingling with guests or mixing it up on the dance floor.

Already recognized as the most powerful and user-friendly software for mixing an iTunes collection, djay’s unique features can now be controlled from the palm of the user’s hand via a WiFi connection and an absolutely addictive iPhone interface that lets one literally touch and move their music. djay Remote completely changes the dynamic for DJs at any level – from the party host who can now socialize and mix from her iTunes library at the same time, to the club pro that wants to move from the front of the house and into the audience without missing a beat.

Using ultra-low latency networking technology, djay Remote seamlessly integrates with djay over WiFi and is synchronous 2-ways, so that any changes made on djay are automatically updated live on djay Remote, and vice versa. The remarkably realistic control that sets djay apart from similar software is carried over to djay Remote, including the ability to run Automix on a selection of songs, work two turntables individually, scratch and cue music in real-time and control high quality effects, looping, skipping and cue points – all from the iPhone and iPod Touch’s unique and popular touch screen. The tactile interface of the touch screen perfectly dovetails with the hands-on capabilities of djay Remote to enable users to recreate the feel of a real turntable DJ setup and take their creativity on-the-go.

“After the great success of the recently launched Vestax Spin, the dedicated hardware controller for djay, we wanted to take another huge step forward in making DJing accessible to every iTunes user. The djay Remote is most definitely a leap ahead and is capable of bringing the joy of mixing to the masses,” said Karim Morsy, CEO of algoriddim. “djay’s enhanced Automix feature already lets users walk away from their Macs and still have their music mixed automatically, but now they can be just as creative and hands-on even while moving around the room. djay Remote has all of the features needed to rock the party, with a breakthrough interface that expands the arsenal of the creative performer.”

djay Remote’s unique features include:

  • Seamless integration with djay via WiFi (two-way-synchronous)
  • Ultra-low latency
  • Full access to the user’s entire iTunes library on the Mac
  • Automix function, for superior, convenient control
  • Multi-Touch enabled mixing in real-time
  • Individual control of dual turntables for scratching, cueing, skipping, and other effects
  • EQ and volume controls
  • An intuitive user interface that mimics djay’s acclaimed design and ease of use, including a timeline with time/artist display, turntables with cover artwork, and rotating vinyl

djay Remote is available for $4.99 from the Apple app store at http://itunes.com/apps/algoriddim/djayremote. djay 3 for Mac (version 3.1 or later), which is available as a free trial from the djay web site, is required to run djay Remote.
