The Pacemaker DJ Device
Here's how you make your own Pacemaker: take two digital turntables, a mixer and a CD library, and then fold them into something that fits in your pocket. 120GB, no moving parts, the ability to play two tracks at once and mix them like a DJ. This is an MP3 player, but not as we know it.
With 120GB of space, the Pacemaker holds more high-quality dance tracks than you could carry in your vinyl hard cases. It lets you play two tracks, mix them, loop them, re-loop them, add effects, save them share them, and play them all in real time. It has 13ms latency, 103dB sound to noise ratio, five hours of mixing per charge and no moving parts - which means it's responsive, clear, will see through a couple of end to end sets, or a dull plane trip from coast to coast and you can use it and dance like a maniac. Music just got a lot more portable.
I remember when the cables a DJ needed for a gig weighed more than this thing. The beauty of the Pacemaker is that you could mix the next great club anthem waiting in a line at the supermarket. DJs used to have to carry a record case, two turntables and a mixer. Now they just need a free pocket and this thing. What's the world coming to? Listen to a new track as you wait for the cab. Discover a new mix during the ride. Try it live at the end of your party set. Not your average MP3 player...120GB, no moving parts, the ability to play two tracks at once and mix them like a DJ.

With the Pacemaker pocket-sized DJ system, professionals get something which means they never have to be without their music, and ideas can go down anywhere; amateurs get a fast track into beat mixing, looping, effects and storming parties.

Pacemaker Features
Playback
You’re always in total control of the playback state of any track. Hi-precision functions for altering or adjusting tempo and creating loops make mixing easy. To make things easier still, you can even choose to beatmatch two tracks by a simple click of a button.
Cue
A series of essential functions for searching, setting, selecting and saving cue points as well as features for monitoring the cue channel separate from line-out makes cueing-up the next track effortless.
Effects
A full set of professional audio effects let you add and adjust sound properties at will, and the Kill-All button lets you instantly deactivate and relaunch engaged effects. Everything is laid out for you in plain view on the screen.
Output
Pacemaker's two outputs, lineout and headphones, are controlled separately. You can adjust volume and EQ for either output at any instance, and set the crossfade blend between the two channels for both outputs at any time.
Recording
Any mix you create can be saved on your Pacemaker hard drive. You can easily transfer your mixes to Pacemaker Editor, where you can rework your mixes as you like or upload them right away to our mix community and let anyone listen anytime.
