Objeq Delay is the new plug-in from AAS which offers more than just the average delay!

In fact, the Objeq Delay offers producers a creative delay unit with some tasty filtering options that goes far beyond traditional delay duties.

The Objeq Delay delivers modular type effects, which can be used for drum track layering, one-shot re-crafting, dynamic loop mangling, drones and much more.

The presets are a great way to get users started but once you get the hang of it, the real fun comes from programming your own modular delay style effects from the plugin.

In the next instalment of our DJ Mag TV ‘In the Studio’ series we take a trip to Vitalic’s Paris studio where he talks to us all about the new album ‘Voyager’ the new live show and custom built controller and shows us around some of his prized synth collection including Buchla’s Music Easel…

When DJ Mag Tech first heard of the Roland/Serato hook-up we were intrigued. Roland, which has cut its chops in the music technology industry for years, a leading player with an undeniable history in regards to its synths, drum machines and hardware now looking to enter the DJ controller arena; and Serato, one of the industry leaders in digital DJing software. What could they both bring to this already saturated marketplace?

Roland has added the Jupiter-8 and Juno-106 as software options on the Roland Cloud subscription service.

The tech giant rolled the software synth service out last year, which gives producers access to a variety of app versions of their classic synths.

The two ‘80s synths added join Roland’s AIRA System-1, SH-101, System-100, Promars and SH-2.

Roland are currently offering a one month free trial of the Roland Cloud service.

LG announced the PJ9 at CES earlier this month, the amplifier with a levitating station for its floating bluetooth speaker. Check it out in action below.

The system uses electromagnets to keep the speaker afloat, a few inches above the levitating station, before it descends to the base as the battery runs out.

DJ Mag Tech hasn’t had its hands on the LG PJ9 yet, but those at the tech powerhouse say that the speaker’s low-end sound quality is taken care of by a subwoofer built into the bass.

Technics caused controversy last month when they suggested that their reissued line of SL-1200 turntables are not marketed at the DJ community. 

In an interview with The New York Times, Hiro Morishita, a creative director at Technics, commented, “Our concept is analog records for hi-fi listening. DJs are fine, too, but as a marketing target it’s problematic. We don’t want to sell the 1200 as the best tool for DJing. The 1200 is the 1200.”

Mixers have come a long way since the basic models that consisted of a two-channel box with no EQ — just a simple conduit for merging two records together. Now, mixers come with a wealth of features that are truly astonishing and allow DJs to do all sorts of booth-based wizardry.
