"Here is an awesome computer mod that I have been working on for the last four months. I built this computer mod to appeal to DJ's and music artists. I call it DJ SOUND CONTROL or DSC for short.
I made it as compact as possible, but not too small that you could not be comfortable performing a set. I added a powerpack that allows true portability, giving you a full hour of power without plugging it in.
With the 23" touch screen the performance can now include finger gestures and multitouch controls. Crazy RGB backlit panels makes sure your party keeps hoppin' through the night. Cutting edge DJ hardware, like the Midifighter that has been customized to put super fresh effects right at the fingertips of both your right and left hands, will make this a musical game changer. Built in Meeblip digital synth controlled by the optional slide out keyboard will let you rip off an amazing bass solo or dub step routine. On board effects from the Alesis NanoVerb give you instant overall expression of the multiple outs. And the meat and potatoes customized Numark Mixtrack gives you all the standards that every DJ needs to stylize their set. With tough Lexan custom CNC machined panels and high strength aluminum frame this box is ready to travel around the world with you no matter where and how you perform."

"Here is a quick vid of the DSC in action at the NYC Lenovo event. Great to see people giving it a go! I was not able to make it, but it looks like they had a lot of fun.
DJing is Richard LaBennett, who is the WW ThinkPad Product Manager at Lenovo. He DJs on the side!"
Throw is a coffee maker and Im sold!

Thanks man, I hope to get it back soon from Lenovo and get back to business.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but there isn't anything special about any of this if anything it's just a mixtrack controller with some extra midi arcade buttons and knobs added on. There is a computer tower that runs the tracktor software next to it and a pointless touch screen built on to this flashy case that has LEDs lights. I was mapping midi controllers in tracktor 2 years ago because I was bored. 3 controllers (mixtrack, mod 24, and mixmeister controller) that used every feature that tracktor had avaliable at the time. It was unreliable most of the time. I currently use 1 V7 and an X5 mixer with serato itch on a Mac mini with 8 gb of ram and 23 inch monitor. I only have to carry 2 bags and a monitor (this is by personal choice, sure I could easy buy a MacBook pro and be a little more compact). It does exactly what this does, but prob better and more reliable in reality and in a live enviroment. Looks like someone had some time to waste building this pointless thing 5 years to late. Sorry if you take offense to my post. But there are how many controllers out on the market made by well know companies that do everything this does? If you're and dj and keep up with gear. This thing isn't nothing more than a kids science fair project.
ReplyDeleteI didn't build it for you!
