Re-writing the way DJs create and perform, the introductory music-orientated product from industry leader Wacom will see DJs leave the confines of the booth to interact with their audiences like never before.
Incorporating integrated mixing software, two-channel mixer with three-band EQ, loop bank, effecter, sampler, vinyl control and wireless capability; this truly is the future of music performance!
The revolutionary wireless remote has adjustable touch sensitive fader/pitch-bend controls, using Wacom’s advanced technologies, and standard rotary EQs for a more traditional DJ experience. Also on the remote is the multi-purpose central touch-pad; offering accurate vinyl emulation control, a four-section sample ‘trigger’ and X/Y pad for the six in-built effects. Giving all these functions for extended times via secure wireless signal, allows DJs to use all their required tools in a more performance-centric way; the DJ is a musician.
The lightweight, compact design makes Nextbeat easily transportable. Touring DJs no longer have to worry about specific club set-ups; simply slide the console into your old record bag and play anywhere in your own style, with your complete music catalogue reassuringly secured onto your compact flash cards.
Mark 2
The Nextbeat X-1000 has now been rejuvenated to a MK 2 status in late 2010. Though physically within the same unit, the Mk 2 boasts a tighter-than-ever BPM alignment feature. Moreover, this feature can now also be controlled from the wireless remote. On top of this, the Nextbeat Mk 2 will also ship with a 16GB compact flash card installed - allowing you to carry more music than ever, straight out of the box. All of this will be provided for the far more competitive price of £869 SRP.
