djay Pro for Mac with support for Pioneer DJ’s newest CDJ set-ups

Algoriddim on Wednesday released an update for djay Pro for Mac, bring a host of new features including tight integration with Pioneer DJ’s newest CDJ set-ups. In fact, djay Pro is now certified by Pioneer. The update also brings enhanced Touch Bar integration on the new MacBook Pro, and Spotify Browse access.

Algoriddim and Pioneer DJ partnered to integrate djay Pro with the CDJ-2000NXS2 and TOUR1 from Pioneer. Users can now access Spotify and iTunes playlists directly from the CDJ screens including displaying colored waveforms, song information, and cue points.

djay Pro is the most modern way to DJ on your Mac,” said Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim. “This new version adds a host of new features for live performance, music discovery, and preparation. It combines the best of both worlds, content discovery via Spotify and hardware access through Pioneer DJ’s state-of-the-art CDJ setups.”

I’ve known Karim for a number of years and have talked to him at length about music and his apps. This is a man that cares about the products he releases, but he also has a deep love and understanding of music. I can’t think of a better mix (pun intended) for someone that is making music apps.

If you remember when Apple unveiled the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro, Karim was one of the developers on stage during the keynote. Using the Touch Bar, users can scratch and slice a track, simultaneously apply filters and effects in real-time, and trigger audio samples. With this new update you can now manipulate two decks simultaneously, manually select the active deck, and to navigate the library to browse, preview, and prepare songs.

djay Pro featured integration with Spotify, but now it has extensive integration with Spotify’s Browse section, so DJs can now mix curated playlists and instantly discover new music by mood, genre, and popularity.
