"Review: The DJ Gadget That Makes You Look Real Cool"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:11/07/2008

Ok, so you are a club DJ trying to figure out what tunes you can play for your upcoming gig. In most cases, you would have to rely on your LPs and turntable to help you get the job done. But if inspiration hits you in unexpected places, you need a gadget that can help you visualise and mix your ideas. This is where the Pacemaker steps in.

The unit functions just like any other music player: it can play and store a number of audio tracks, comes with a screen to display track data, and has a built-in battery for on-the-go listening. But what's unique about this player is that it can play two different tracks simultaneously and offers advanced audio manipulation capabilities.

The Pacemaker sports an elliptical shape, is big and wide, and does not have as much flair compared to other music players in the market. But what it lacks in style, it compensates for its features. Up front, users can find a circular TFT display, rewind, forward, channel 1, channel 2, play/pause, and cue set/launch at cue point buttons, a crossfade slider, and a touch sensitive pad used for browsing through menus. The top of the unit hosts the power, USB port, and ?kill all' button, while the power port, line out, and earphone jacks are found at the bottom. Finally, a ?P-switch' is located on the left spine and is used for extended functions.
