djay, the excellent app for iPhone and iPad we reviewed back in December when it first came out on the tablet, received a major update today to include exclusive functionalities for the iPad 2 and its A5 dual-core processor. After the release of a “mini” iPhone version that yet managed to include most of the features found in the iPad counterpart, algoriddim pushed an update earlier today to fully optimize performances for the iPad 2, enable higher precision audio analysis and implement a number of new features as well.
- Key Lock / Time-Stretching: change the tempo of a song without affecting its pitch (requires iPad 2)
- High-Precision audio analysis: improves syncing, BPM detection, beat-grid, and waveform precision (requires iPad 2, enable in Settings > Advanced)
- Loop / Cue snapping: auto-aligned to closest snare, base drum etc. (requires iPad 2)
- Improved playback of recordings
- Various minor improvements for all iPad models
djay 1.2 for iPad is now available in the App Store at $19.99.
