The CD DJ

DJs perform by spinning vinyl records to get the sounds they’re after. Now a new spinnable CD player offers DJs the opportunity to go digital. “The key to the system – which resembles a small version of a vinyl deck – is a grooved, touch-sensitive jog wheel, which allows records to be stopped and scratched at any time. Until now, the inability to do this was one of the key reasons DJs had shunned performing with CD decks. Deck has a memory card that recalls edit points for tracks. Additionally, the system has an internal memory that can remember cue and loop points, and allows tracks to be remixed live.”
