Digital DJ "Controllerism" Rig with Percussa audio cubes

Me demonstrating some main features of DIV's digital DJ system. It is capable of playing up to eight stereo elements at one time, be they whole songs, clips, or loops. I loop everything that goes into it - even 9-minute tracks! I put this together when Mike (running camera) asked me to come up with a system that did not use turntables, CDJ decks, or headphones. We can render a three-day-long seamless show with this stuff. I e-mailed Ableton at one point and asked if there was a way to cherry-pick through the on-screen clips externally, and they told me there was not. I proved them wrong with that $30.00 Logitech joystick there. The system also incorporates a Quasimidi Raveolution 309, a Novation X Station, and a Korg KP3 Kaoss Pad. Oh yeah - We live in Iowa, but we don't raise pigs.

SOMEPEOPLE tell me get a life or they just say im wasting my time. but when you put it all together and it breaks open a differnt form of seeing things its all worth it

[kipptumor]

People that tell you to "get a life" are usually as interesting as tree bark.

It's just a signal telling the particular clip assigned to that side of the cube to play/activate.

The center cube is the receiver cube, and offers 16 possible clips to play, right? You could then, in theory, activate all 16 possible clips with just the receiver and one sender cube- just use say the yellow cube on all four sides of the receiver, but the more cubes the better. You can have as many receivers/senders as you want at $350.00 a pop.

It took three months of burying my nose in manuals to get everything to talk to each other, but the hard part is over and we are just concentrating on our sets. Getting them edited and organized right so performances flow smoothly. Thing is - the system continues to surprise us every time we use it. I designed the thing to grow like that so it would be the system to use for years. The Raveolution replaced the Future Retro Revolution that used to be MIDI'd up to the system.

@addiction24 I think what you are talking about is the reactable? They have made an iPhone version now, looks pretty cool!

[Addiction84]

theres a huge cube one similar to this one that you put smaller cubes onto it to produce tracks... and u can spin the cubes to channel volume up and down and produce effects on it... whats that one called?

[jeffpace60]

I've found that to be very true, kipp! Still haven't looked at the overview for these cubes, but they look like cool stuff!

[lesscunning]

very impressive...

[weareelectronics]

nice little setup you've got there!
