- The developers have joined forces on the new DJ controller for Serato's ITCH software.
Allen & Heath and Serato Audio Research have announced details of their joint venture into the DJ controller market.
Designed primarily for use in conjunction with Serato's new four deck version of their ITCH DJ software, the Xone:DX is a plug-and-play 20-channel USB soundcard (96kHz/24-bit) that features at its hub a four channel mixer for direct DSP mixing within the computer. Up to 168 individual MIDI control messages can be sent from the DX's various knobs, buttons and jog wheels, which means compatibility with most leading DJ software brands. A full version of the new Serato ITCH software comes bundled with the package, allowing users to take immediate advantage of the app's looping, time-stretching and FX capabilities. There are a few club-friendly extras included as well, in the form of a UV light sensitive legend, bi-colour LED feedback layer assignment and a separate booth output.
The Xone:DX ships as of November 2009 at a suggested retail price of £999.
