First seen at Musikmesse 2012, MixVibes Cross is truly living up to its name. Starting life as a cross-platform (geddit?) application, CrossDJ is the iPad version, that aims to cram in as much as is practical into the iPad’s screen, and does so with some clever interface trickery and layering.
There’s a video:

MixVibes Release CrossDJ For iPad –
The World’s First Professional DJing App
MixVibes is proud to present the most exciting DJing application they have ever created: CrossDJ for iPad. MixVibes brings you a comprehensive iPad DJing experience with a user friendly yet professional and feature rich layout. This application allows all DJs to enjoy performing quality sounding mixes on an iPad.
CrossDJ was developed by the same professional software team who developed ‘Cross’, awarded ‘Best DJing Software’ in 2010 and 2011 the MIXMOVE awards in Paris. MixVibes has been providing DJs with professional solutions for over 10 years. Hence, no other iPad DJing application has ever received such expertise, attention to ergonomics and user feedback in its development.
www.djworx.com: “A decade later, [MixVibes has] fully matured software running on Mac and PC – and now iPad”.
A complete DJing tool, CrossDJ is a fully-fledged DJing controller. It features a full 2-channel mixer with 3-band EQs and Kills, preset Loops, 6 Locators, High-precision audio FX with X/Y control pad and much more. These professional features are what will no doubt make this application a reference in the DJing Market. Eric Guez C.E.O. of MixVibes commented, “I believe that the iPad is and will become a serious DJing tool in years to come.”
In addition, CrossDJ takes advantage of the iPad/iPhone media management paradigm with fluid, rapid and intuitive browsing and loading. You can easily access all iTunes playlists and browse media using a Dynamic Triple Criteria Filter.
The audio stream can be split in order to be able to monitor tracks with headphones, which is essential for a professional mix.

CrossDJ – Main Features
A DJing Controller
Thanks to 10 years of expertise in DJing software, MixVibes brings you a professional iPad application including all the main DJing features you need to perform and control a seamless mix. The mixer section includes 2 players with 3-band equalizers, frequency kills, gains, 2 volume faders, a crossfader and 2 pitch sliders with adjustable range (4%, 6%, 8%, 16%, 32%, 100%).
FX Touch Pad and Vinyl Wheel
The interface features 2 deck views: The “vinyl record deck” allows precise scratching and the possibility to cue a track as you would with a regular turntable. The “FX view” features a large X/Y control pad allowing you to explore the full extent and potential of the 13 audio FX. The “FX hold” feature allows you to lock down an audio effect on a precise setting point. These features are the gateway to a whole new spectrum of creative possibilities.
Two Loop Modes
The first mode is the regular loop mode with 8 different lengths of loops varying from 1/8 beat to 16 beats (4bars). The second mode is called “slip” mode. Here, loops are active only when a finger is pressed on the loop. While the loop is active the track keeps playing so that when you release the finger the musical flow is not affected.
Star Features
The BPM analysis algorithm used by CrossDJ has been fire-tested and perfected to the max for the iPad. This analysis is performed automatically the first time you load a track. Once analyzed, the mix is visually assisted with a sync meter and high definition waveforms. Thanks to the “Beatgrid” feature, mixes will be flawless and synchronized automatically. Edits to the beat grid are doable on-the-fly and saved to the collection.
www.digitaldjtips.com: “We think it is a contender for best elastic beatgridding of any DJ software”.
Headphone Monitoring: Split Output
CrossDJ offers the possibility to monitor the mix with headphones using multiple routing modes. The split routing allows monitoring, which means you are performing a mix in actual professional conditions. The default setting plays music directly through the master stream.
Media Management
CrossDJ is stocked with a combination of MixVibes’ multiple award-winning Media Management system and Apple’s intuitive track search paradigm. Media browsing is made through a multi-criteria filter or directly on the full size iPad keyboard. Hence, loading a new track is done in seconds.
www.djworx.com: “Given [MixVibes’] excellence in library management, the iPad version is equally endowed with solid library skills too.”
Sound
CrossDJ is compatible with most popular audio formats including every iTunes compatible format and many more. A pristine sound quality of CrossDJ will be offered through the headphone plug jack and the USB port.
Clean mixes and clear sound is what you are getting with CrossDJ!
“The World’s First Professional DJing App” – Hmmm… that’s some big marketing words right there. There are a number of apps which do more or less the same thing, just in different ways.
Having played a little at Messe, I’m pretty damned impressed. And the video also shows that DJs can do what a DJ is supposed to do, albeit one finger at a time. I think the guys at algoriddim needs to take note – I love djay, but this is hot.

Does this mean I’m going to have to buy an iPad again? Bugger. Looks like tablet DJing may well be coming of age.

MixVibes may not be the biggest name in DJ software and hardware, but it is an innovator. From their own VFX video DJing platform, to being the team behind Pioneer’s RekordBox software, MixVibes knows what it’s up to.
MixVibes Cross DJ software has quietly become a contender, and alongside the company’s U-Mix Control Pro controller, offers a good value, tightly integrated DJ system than punches above its price. So now they’ve announced Cross DJ 2.0 and demoed iCross DJ for iPad, we thought we’d take a closer look.
Building on the vastly improved effects of 1.7, and adding sample decks a la Traktor, plus boasting library improvements among other tweaks, Cross DJ 2.0 is the strongest incarnation yet. We also think it is contender for best elastic beatgridding of any DJ software. Here’s our view preview from Musikmesse 2012.
One of the first major desktop packages to port lock, stock and barrel across to iPad, MixVibes iCross DJ is pretty impressive for a v1, as you’ll see in this Musikmesse 2012 preview. On launch it will work with the company’s own U-Mix Control Pro DJ controller, but expect it to also be mapped to other controllers. Surely this is a shot across the bows of the bigger boys: I wonder how they’ll respond?
Are you a MixVibes user? Having seen the videos, what particularly appeals to you about either of these pieces of software? We’d love to get your thoughts in the comments.
