A live performance with the Tonium Pacemaker – the pocket-sized DJ system, performed on Beatport’s stage at Hotel National, Miami, March 29th 2008.
I’m still not sold on the idea of a palm-sized DJ system. How can you work this with any level of control.
Anybody want to set me straight?
I’ve seen a few videos for it & it almost seems like you’re limited to operating one perimeter at a time so pulling off cool stuff would have to have expert timing. This thing could be cool on a plane ride or maybe playing informally at a bar or something but I doubt we’ll see Carl Cox rock one. As it is now, I look like I’m checking email doing Ableton sets but with this it’d look like I’m playing PSP.
The further dj’s get away from turntables, the more it looks like they’re wanking……
