MixVibes releases new version of Cross with 4 decks, HID controlled

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

MixVibes has developed DJ apps for Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone for over 10 years.

Now, MixVibes releases Cross 2.4, a new version of its flagship software for Mac/PC. This version has 4 decks and a new sync mode.

4 full decks and a redesigned sampler

Cross now features 4 full decks. They can be controlled by Pioneer CDJs and MIDI controllers. Mappings for popular 4 deck controllers are included.
Decks C & D can be switched between players or samplers. The samplers layout has been redesigned for enhanced readability. Each pad has its own waveform, making it easy to know what sample is playing.

Sync Link mode, based on industry standard workflow

MixVibes’ philosophy is to create products with genuine DJ spirit. For this reason, Cross 2.4 designers got inspired by the CDJ 2000 Nexus workflow.
Sync Link works in a very simple way : each deck in sync follows the master. Master status is attributed automatically. Besides, the phase of each deck can be controlled manually with the pitchbend.

Classic trigger mode is still available in the preferences panel (so you really get the best of both worlds.)

What else is new in this update?

New controller mappings: Numark MixTrack, MixTrack2, MixTrackPro2, Denon SC2900, Pioneer DDJWeGO
Display 4 or 8 locators
Display total time duration of a playlist

Manage 4 stereo outputs in external mixer audio routing mode.

Beyond partners with Lightsounds for Newcastle

Beyond Sound and Lighting have partnered with the Lightsounds brand to provide an increased presence for entertainment lighting and sound in Newcastle. Owner operator Josh Maynard has always maintained an avid interest in pro audio and lighting way back from his school days, finally turning his passion into a full time business in 2009. Josh’s partner Sarah runs the administration side of the business, and while a recent baby arrival has been a delightful diversion, they are excited to be entering another new challenge. “Lightsounds has been a hallmark brand for nearly 20 years and we are thrilled to represent it exclusively in the Newcastle precinct. It’s great to be part of a group that has national strength, an established product range and brand associations, buying power and marketing synergies” Josh said. Recent Beyond clients have been as diverse as prestige carmaker Audi, Newcastle Panthers and Unity Nightclub to name a few, with strong representation in the worship, education and party hire sectors.

“Lightsounds gives us the opportunity to grow faster as the marketing is taken care of which allows us to focus on expanding the business”.

Josh has a stocked showroom and hire department brimming with equipment including the recent arrival of 6 x PR XL575 moving heads and a lightweight PR V-Spell LED screen available for short and long term rental. With 24 hour service and technical support Josh and Sarah are ready to take Lightsounds Newcastle to new heights.

Beyond Lightsounds Newcastle is contactable on (02) 4967 7552 or call the new dealership on the national Lightsounds hot line on 1800 552 205.

Another Happy Customer…

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

I would like to thank Karl from the Hire Department at Lightsounds, for the efficient service and good advice on which equipment to hire for my daughter, Emily’s, 19th birthday party, which was held at home ,including in the backyard. I hired 2 Wharfedale powered speakers which we were able to play music directly from an ipod. Also we hired 2 led parcans which were set to change colours with the music,and a water effect light, as well as using a minilaser, which gave a fast moving pattern of light dots on the side of the house. (We were careful to mount the minilaser so that it wouldn’t shine directly into any anybody’s eyes).

The lighting effect in the backyard, was spectacular, and it set the mood for an excellent birthday party.

Thank you to everyone at Lightsounds for helping make my daughter’s party so successful.
