Djay for iPad 1.2 optimizes for iPad 2
In a still-rare move, Algoriddim on Tuesday optimized its signature Djay for iPad app just for the iPad 2. The 1.2 upgrade ($20, App Store) takes advantage of the second core to produce a much more accurate map of the music and in turn allow more features. Tracks can now be locked into key and stretched out on each turntable to beatmatch or achieve an effect without affecting the pitch.
Cues and loops are also now more precise and can cling to the beat 'grid' rather than start from an arbitrary point.
More updates are expected to come to take advantage of the extra processing power but weren't outlined or given a timetable. As an incentive to try out the mobile app, the iPhone and iPod touch edition is also on sale for 99 cents (App Store) for a limited run, after which it should still sit lower than before at $5.
