What’s New In djay Pro 2.0?

It might be a little hard to keep track of all of Algoriddim’s various software that they’re maintaining. It’s an impressive array of offerings for various platforms – but consider djay Pro to be the pinnacle of what Algoriddim is working on. This is the program that they put as many innovative features in and target the professional and prosumer DJ customers with.

You can easily switch between 2 deck, 4 deck, sampler, and expanded library layouts to perfectly match your preferred mixing style. Djay Pro is built from the ground up as a native Windows 10 app.

  • Designed in conjunction with algoriddim, the djay / djay Pro keyboard cover will let you play and mix your djay tracks on your Mac faster and easier! This ultra-thin form-fitting djay Keyboard Cover does not affect typing ability or speed, and includes extensive color-coded shortcuts for the left and right turntables - right on the keys.
  • I've seen questions about recording Spotify tracks in DJay Pro a number of times in this sub, since the software doesn't allow it natively. I use DJay Pro when mixing at home and have recently been looking for an easy plug & play solution for recording sets.

We’ve trimmed up the feature list from Algoriddim’s press release below:

Automix AI: Using machine learning and training sets from human DJs, Automix AI intelligently identifies rhythmic patterns and the best intro and outro sections of songs. Automix AI calculates optimal fade durations and automatically applies parameter changes to EQs and filters for a seamless transition. Beats and tempos are matched using Morph which ensures that a song’s BPM is maintained during a transition. This innovative song mixing technology allows for seamless cross-genre mixes with varying tempo.

Using Match, an innovative song recommendation engine powered by Spotify, users get a continuous queue based on danceability, BPM, key, and music style. Automix AI allows users to fully lean back and enjoy the mix, yet users still have full manual control over Automix AI settings on-the-fly, as well as the ability to change the source music at
any time. Using the transition button, users can trigger a seamless mix to the next song at any time.

These appear in their own tab in the library manager, and allow users to create their own custom and smart playlists.

Photos are cycled on beat and the rate can be adjusted on-the-fly in a range of a 1/4 beat all the way up to 4 beats per photo. Users can also apply effects to their photos in the same way as video, and output via an external monitor through HDMI or AirPlay.
