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.
MixVibes is proud to announce the release of the ‘Video Plug-in’, a powerful tool which allows you to play, mix and scratch video files like music within CrossDJ and Cross software.
Based on 4 years of research in video mixing, MixVibes ‘Video Plug-in’ is the easiest way to incorporate video into your DJ setup. No need to be a video specialist!All features from CrossDJ work within the ’Video Plug-in‘: Play a locator or a loop, scratch, add FX: every action that you usually perform on audio can also be performed on the video automatically, so you can focus on the music and take your mix to the next dimension.
The ‘Video Plug-in’ integrates seamlessly within CrossDJ: each player gets a video preview and the mixer can be switched from audio to video. The ‘Video Plug-in’ can be deactivated at any moment, returning to the regular audio-only appearance of CrossDJ.

MixVibes brings a comprehensive iPad DJing experience with a user friendly yet professional and feature rich layout. This application allows all DJs to enjoy performing quality sounding mixes on an iPad.
CrossDJ was developed by the same professional software team who developed Cross, awarded best DJing software in 2010 and 2011 at Paris MIXMOVE awards. MixVibes has been providing DJs with professional solutions for over 10 years. Hence, no other iPad DJing application has ever received such expertise, attention to ergonomics and user feedback in its development
A complete DJing tool, CrossDJ is a full-fledged DJing controller. It features a full 2-channel mixer with 3-band EQs and Kills, preset Loops, 6 Locators, High-precision audio FX with X/Y control pad and much more. These professional features are what will no doubt make this application a reference in the DJing Market.
In addition, CrossDJ takes advantage of the iPad/iPhone media management paradigm with a fluid, rapid and intuitive browsing and loading. You can easily access all iTunes playlists and browse media using a Dynamic Triple Criteria Filter. The audio stream can be split in order to be able to monitor tracks with headphones which is essential for a professional mix.
A DJING CONTROLLER
Thanks to 10 years of expertise in DJing software, MixVibes brings you a functional iPad application including all the main DJing features you need to perform and control a seamless mix.
The mixer section includes 2 players with 3-band equalizers, frequency kills, gains, 2 volume faders, a crossfader and 2 pitch sliders with adjustable range (4%, 6%, 8%, 16%, 32%, 100%).
FX TOUCH PAD AND VINYL WHEEL
The interface features 2 deck views: The “vinyl record deck” allows precise scratching and the possibility to cue a track as you would with a regular turntable.
The “FX view” features a large X/Y control pad allowing you to explore the full extent and potential of the 13 audio FX. The “FX hold” feature allows you to lock down an audio effect on a precise setting point. These features are the gateway to a whole new spectrum of creative possibilities.
TWO LOOP MODES
The first mode is the regular loop mode with 8 different lengths of loops varying from 1/8th to 16 beats (4bars).
The second mode is called the “slip” mode. Here, loops are active only when a finger is pressed on the loop. While the loop is active the track keeps playing so that when you release the finger the musical flow is not affected.
STAR FEATURES
The BPM analysis algorithm used by CrossDJ has been tested and perfected to the maximum for the iPad.
This analysis is performed automatically the first time you load a track. Once analyzed, the mix is visually assisted with a sync meter and high definition waveforms.
Thanks to the “Beatgrid” feature, mixes will be flawless and synchronized automatically. Edits to the beat grid are doable on-the-fly and saved to the collection.
MEDIA MANAGEMENT
CrossDJ is stocked with a combination of MixVibes’ multiple award-winning Media Management system and Apple’s intuitive track search paradigm.
Media browsing is made through a multi-criteria filter or directly on the full size iPad keyboard. Hence, loading a new track is done in seconds.
Drawn at 5.00pm on 30th of September. The winner will be advised shortly thereafter.
