MP3 format becoming freer |
Published in DJ Software |
| Fraunhofer Institute has announced yesterday their patenting for MP3 format has been terminated. https://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/en/ff/amm/prod/audiocodec/audiocodecs/mp 3.html It means that companies or people using MP3 format do not have to pay a licence to Fraunhofer, as for example DJ software playing back MP3 files. It does not mean all MP3 patents have become free: you may still have to pay for a patent when using an algorithm to encode or decode an MP3 file, but the use of MP3 format is free. |

Ikutaro Kakehashi, father of MIDI, has died on 2017-04-01 |
Published in Events |
| Ikutaro Kakehashi, father of MIDI and founder or Roland, has died on 2017-04-01. On Namm Show in January 1983, Roland and Sequential Circuits unveiled the Universal Musical Interface technology, whose name became MIDI ((Musical Instrument Digital Interface) later, in showing the communication between 2 synthesizers, a Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 and a Roland JX-3P. Ikutaro Kakehashi (former president of Roland) and Dave Smith (former president of Sequencial Circuits) were awarded a Technical GRAMMY in 2013 for contributions to the development of MIDI. The many uses of MIDI include the communication between DJ controllers and DJ software on Windows, Linux, macOS and iOS. We offer our most sincere condolences to Ikutaro Kakehashi family. https://www.midi.org/articles/ikutaro-kakehashi-passes-away-at-87 |

Serato DJ 1.9.6 Now Available |
Published in DJControl Jogvision |
This release includes features improvements for DJControl Jogvision users as:
 Cue Color Match enhancement Whether you change the rank of the cue points, as sorting Cues Chronologically, or whether you assign another colour to a cue point, each pad of DJControl Jogvision now matches the color the cue point it controls. Chronological Loops & Cue When the "Sort Cues and Loops Chronologically" option is turned on, each track’s saved Loops and Cues will be displayed in the order they appear throughout the track, rather than the order they were created in, which simplifies the workflow of saving and triggering Cues and Loops. Reordering Loops After creating your Loops you may wish to have them saved in a specific order: this let you drag saved loops to the position of your choice Favorite FX Banks You can now have two entirely different FX Banks saved, available to load whenever needed. Each bank when saved will remember the FX loaded with each parameter that was set. This is useful when wanting to switch between two configurations. For example, you could have Bank A for Single FX and Bank B for Multi FX, or Bank A for subtle FX such as Reverb, Filter and Bank B for performance FX such as Pitch Looper, Tremolo. Once you've got a Favorite FX Bank saved you go on to use other FX inside Serato DJ, then you recall your favorite in clicking back on the A or B bank button. |
