ION Discover DJ MIDI Controller

DISCOVER DJ is the easiest way to become a DJ. This computer-DJ package is perfect for anyone from people wanting to be a DJ to music lovers who have never tried DJing before. The DJ system harnesses the processing power of your Mac or PC and enables you to DJ parties, events and even clubs using the music that is already on your computer. DISCOVER DJ consists of a hardware DJ control surface with a convenient, standard USB connection and powerful MixVibes CROSS LE performance DJ software.
You can mix and scratch your music, including your iTunes Music Libraries using two large performance platters and a central mixer section with a crossfader, buttons and knobs. DISCOVER DJ is laid out in to carefully recreate the two-decks-and-a-mixer setup that professional DJs prefer. On screen, the MixVibes CROSS LE software is a virtual extension of the DISCOVER DJ hardware, with two decks. Just load your tracks to either Deck A or Deck B, and then control it, cueing up the start point, performing advanced transitions and even scratching.
DISCOVER DJ has complete DJ controls such as pitching the music up and down so you can perfectly match the tempo or BPM between tracks and create seamless mixes. The system also has an automatic beat-matching feature that takes the guesswork out of this tricky piece of DJing. Bass and treble control enable you to shape your sound with ease. You can easily extend the mix by looping your favorite parts of their tracks. Yet, with all of this power and capabilities, DISCOVER DJ is easy enough for virtually anyone to learn on. You can even record, play back and share your performances thanks to recording capability.

Measuring just 48x21cm, Discover DJ is indeed a cheap plastic controller. That's not meant as an insult, and perhaps "extremely cost effective MIDI controller" is more flattering. As far I can see, the only visible piece of metal is the single solitary fader stem. Thankfully, the lightness of Discover DJ doesn't seem to reflect the sturdy feel. This won't withstand the rigours of punishing club use, but that isn't the intended market anyway.
Despite the size, the emphasis is all on the jog wheels. The mixer section is decidedly thin on controls, but does have just enough to give you the minimum of features for party rocking with only brief recourse to the screen. But we're talking bare bones here.
