Importing custom samples is also possible. ・Packed with useful features・ - Dope selection of background music tracks (80 - 140 bpm) - 6 pads for switching between different scratching sounds sets - Mixer unit with pattern-driven tempo-synced and manual modes of the crossfader - Responsive, large, virtual deck with triggers for performing “stab” and “faderless” tricks - Possibility to cue and trigger selected part of the record - 4 different DSP effects - Live recording to WAV (record your performance with or without the background music) - Importing of custom samples (44.1khz, stereo, 16-bit WAV files) - Tap tempo button for fast tweaking of the playback speed - Audio routing (audio output from the app can be routed to another app that supports IAA) - Built-in tutorial - Hours of fun and engaging experience!
