Grossbeat is an improvement on the Relooper already included in previous versions of Deckadance. You can’t apply effects to the sampler, too bad. xml with information on the location of the samples used in the bank and information related to the samples, it is not possible to create packages that contain all the samples in the bank so they can be easily shared or transported from a studio computer to a live laptop. The sample banks that we create can be saved, but the generated file is only an. The sampler can be synced to the tempo of any of the 4 decks. The loops are shown to us in a grid of 4x4 pads that trigger the samples (novelty), in each pad we can see the duration of the sample written, where it comes from and the original BPM of the sample. Now there are no individual volume controls for each sample or capture controls for each sample trigger, there is a single output volume control for the entire sampler (DJ Intro style), and a single set of sample capture controls. The sampler has been totally revamped, its interface and some of its functions have been greatly simplified, although at the same time its capacity has been doubled and it can now trigger 16 samples. And by the way, since finally a software brings the application of effects by frequencies … when will we have the mixing by frequencies in the style of the DJM-2000? I hope we don’t take long to see it. It is a pity that this selection applies to all 3 effects on each deck and that an individual range selection cannot be made for each effect. The spectrum will be divided into 3 ranges (high, mid and low) and by default the FX will be applied in all, although we can deselect what we want and for example apply a reverb only to the treble. Although you can barely control the level of dry / wet and one parameter per effect (some DJs love this simplicity in FX, others hate it), we have a novelty in DJ software, and that is the possibility of applying the effects only at a range of frequencies. The colors of the waveforms appear similar, although they are drawn in greater detail Effects by frequenciesĭeckadance 2 allows you to insert 3 different effects on each deck of the 10 that the software has incorporated.

New shades of flatter gray colors, simpler and less cluttered controls, some reminiscences of Traktor, although certainly a better aspect compared to the previous version. We will have control panels for loop, cue, dvs, tone, tempo and smartknob. On the sides of each deck we also have control panels that change according to needs, or if we prefer, we can simultaneously show several control panels to the detriment of the amount of waveform that we can visualize. Around this central part we will have 2 or 4 decks (as we like), and underneath a wide and spartan browser. In the central part we will have an area where we will have different control panels according to our needs, these panels can alternate between the mixer (with a real mixer look, not like before), effects, sampler, vertical viewer of the forms waveform, VST effects and the grossbeat.

The interface appears to have been redesigned from scratch. We downloaded and tested the beta version, and this is what we found. The new version 2.0 is really surprising since it does not limit itself to providing functions and views in other popular programs for professional DJs to try to be up to it, this version brings features so far never seen in other programs and that will provide you with a status own within the sector. Almost 2 years after its last official version, 1.9, a beta version of the next evolution of Deckadance has finally been made public. The evolution of the software continued thanks to the work of the Image Line team of developers who collaborated with Arguru initially.
