Here’s a little treat for you iPhone and iPod touch DJs, the video shows another new program for iPod touch and iPhone users that allows the iPod touch and iphone as a Midi controller for Ableton, it brings the concept of a midi controller a step more in line with with iPods than the PS2 midi controller.
OK, whilst this isn’t totally related to iPod DJing, I simply couldn’t resist, its simply fantastic what you can do with technology these days and certainly if the same effort was put to making the iPod more DJ friendly we’d seen more DJs appearing, more creative music and faster progression in the field of iPod DJing.
The MIDIator is a PS2 to MIDI controller it, it comes either DIY or pre-made, an allows you to covert an old PS2 controller into a MIDI controller for your DJ software on a laptop, with software such as Ableton, the long shot of this is that if the MIDIator could be modified to hookup to an iPod, it could be used as an iPod DJing controller in the same way that the MIDIator contols the software on a laptop. you really need to see it in action, here the link to the MIDIator site.
And heres a video, not the guitar hero controller at the tail end of the video:
