In fact, Touch DJ is a small revolution in mobile music. It really can be used to rock the crowd in the clubs (we tried that), and you don’t need headphones to mix (because you can mix visually, which might require some training, but it’s possible!).

I hope that this will be interesting for you. Just for this letter to be complete, this is the press-release:

Press-release:
Amidio Inc has released Touch DJ – the first full-featured DJ MP3 application on the iPhone platform. Touch DJ offers realtime independent manipulation of 2 MP3 files, including scratching, looping, positioning, equalization, effects and and pitching. The unique futuristic user-friendly interface of Touch DJ and the highly advanced zero-latency sound engine bring fantastic results comparable to what can be done with professional hardware equipment.

Traditionally iPhone and iPod Touch have only one stereo audio output which broadens the possibility of using them as a DJ device. Touch DJ overcomes this limitation by offering innovative and unique way of deejaying which doesn’t require additional headphones for prelistening to the tracks. This technology is called “visual mixing” and it implies the graphic display of the track waveforms next to each other. The low-bass (kick) parts are detected and rendered in different color compared to the rest sonic frequencies, making beatmatching as easy as adjusting the tracks position and pitch so that the kick parts become visually matched.

As an alternative for the users who really need to prelisten to the tracks, Touch DJ also offers a second “Split” mode of mixing which requires the usage of a special l/r splitting adapter. Among extra features – LP filter FX for each track, vinyl Spin and Break effects, onboard sampler with 3 sample slots (accepts .WAV files) and the ability to record samples via the microphone. As a bonus, Touch DJ is shipped with 25 dance tracks provided by DanceMusicHub.com.

Touch DJ is available at the AppStore worldwide for $19,99.

Hollywood based Elements2Dance today is excited to announce songvoo 1.1, their updated iPod music player app for iPhone and iPod Touch. This update adds many groundbreaking features including Facebook integration, shape gestures, 15,000 theme combinations, Intro-Outro skipping, and a streamlined interface. songvoo serves as a great iPod companion for both casual user and music professionals alike, or anyone who has a large, constantly changing music collection to stay on top of.

Hollywood, California – Elements2Dance (E2D) today is proud to announce songvoo(TM) 1.1, their updated iPod app and music player for iPhone and iPod Touch. Developed specifically to leverage the iPhone’s unique capabilities and interface, songvoo uses the entire display for the song title and artist of the current playing song. songvoo serves as a great iPod companion for both casual user and music professionals alike, or anyone who has a large, constantly changing music collection to stay on top of.

Facebook Enabled: songvoo lets the user share his currently playing song info on their Facebook stream, and update their Facebook status from within the app. The Facebook story includes a link to listen to and purchase the currently playing song, and others from the artist, from the iTunes Store.

Perfect for jogging, driving, and many other active diversions, the large, easy-to-read display shows at-a-glance exactly what song is playing and who the artist is. songvoo will look great in a car-mount or speaker dock. It even responds to all external remote controls like next song, previous song, pause, and play, including control from Apple’s earbud remote.

songvoo features intuitive, yet incredibly useful controls that work great no matter what the users orientation is to the screen, such as when the device is in an armband, or even when driving. New in this version is Shape Gestures, which also work in any orientation. Just tap once to play or pause, swipe or double-tap the screen to go to the next track, or go to the previous track with a triple-tap or back-arrow gesture (<). songvoo also shows elapsed and remaining time for the currently playing track, along with a slider that can be used to skip sections or replay a certain part. The interface elements can also be faded out while music is playing to further reduce distractions. You can activate song shuffle by holding a thumb on the screen and shaking the device.

Also new in this version is Intro-Outro Skip, loop, shuffle, and a song info screen. Intro-Outro Skip lets you skip a user-defined amount from the beginning and end of each track. People who need to go through a large amount of music in a short amount of time will appreciate this feature that lets you get to the “meat” of each track quickly. The song info screen lets you see all of the meta data associated and available for the current track including the album art, rating, composer, disc number, and more.

“I developed songvoo originally to fill a need for my own enormous and constantly growing music collection.” said Jokton Strealy, resident DJ of E2D. “The included iPod app was not enough for my needs because the text seemed too small, and song names and artists appeared cut off for lack of space because the album cover art was so big. When I’m browsing my music before a set, I’ve also always wanted to be able to automatically cut off the intros and outros, which can be quite long and repetitive in dance music mixes. I also felt that the interface needed to be more fun and look stylish. Apple opening up version 3.0 of the iPhone OS allows so much more freedom. Although created for music professionals, songvoo allows for extensive user customization which should also appeal to a wider audience.”

Users can choose a new playlist (or songs) from their iPod library at any time, as well as choose music in the iPod app if they prefer, and bounce back and forth between apps with no problem. Additionally, it is possible to personalize songvoo. Change font, colors, background image, or enable the shake to randomize feature and set these automatically.

Device Requirements:
* Original iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 1st or 2nd Generation, with OS 3.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
songvoo 1.1 is only $0.99 (USD) and available exclusively through the App Store in the Music category. songvoo was a “Featured New Release” by Apple in the month of September on the App Store.
