DVS Hardware

> No special hardware needed
Mixvibes DVS is the ONLY product, that allows you to DIRECTLY plug your vinyl turntable(s) (like Technics SL1200 MkII) or CD player(s) into any sound card with a stereo LINE input. NO RIAA preamp or external "boxes" are needed !

> Compatible with all sound cards
MixVibes DVS works with ALL SOUND CARDS, latency is the only thing that will be affected by your choice of sound card. If your main use for DVS will be scratching, a good sound card (ASIO) is advised.
MixVibes DVS supports many kinds of sound configurations: pci, integrated motherboard, usb or firewire sound cards and even multichannel sound cards (5.1..).

> Low latency
MixVibes supports ASIO sound cards and exclusive ASIO emulation (kernel driver) allowing lowest latency with ALL SOUND CARDS! The latency will depend on your sound card and system configuration (and can drop to 1.5ms).

> No drifting
The NDS (never drifting system) assures that your cue point for scratching will never move. While a mix, it assures NO DRIFTING in bad conditions (vinyl scratches, instant low resources, rumble...).

Detailed Description

Instead of music, DVS vinyl (included with the DVS pack) contains a TIMECODED signal. So your computer can make realtime analysis to track the motion of the record, simulating the same movement with the digital file.
The Vinyl timecode has more than 1000 frames per second for accurate positioning and the CD timecode will have more than 3000 frames per second.

Thanks to high quality software RIAA correction, you don't need a RIAA preamp, or "special boxes" ...

The DVS package includes three special vinyl records and the MixVibes DVS software. You only need it to control your digital audio files with turntables or cd players.

DVS is the only product using an exclusive optimised CD timecode, allowing extremely accurate positioning. You only need to burn it on a CD-R or CD-RW.

Detailed Description

> Professional sixth generation Audio Engine
MixVibes audio engine is famous all around the world for its extreme velocity and sound quality.
MixVibes use a powerful Master Tempo algorithm (change the tempo of the song without changing the tone) and pitch algorithm with a 0.01% resolution. The range for each control can be adjusted up to 100%!

> Essential features for a perfect gig
After loading, an entire track preview is available (useful to see music breaks). The large and re-sizeable scrolling waveforms are essential to set cue more accurately (10 on-fly cue points per track).
Thanks to Autogain your track is automatically normalised when loaded. MixVibes uses ID3 Tag v2, multi playlists, music databases as well as a search engine, allowing you to organise files for your gig.

> Automatic bpm counting / Beat Matching
MixVibes includes real time automatic bpm counting. The new BPM counting algorithm is very fast and accurate with all styles of music (hiphop, techno, house...).
To avoid missing your mix, MixVibes has a Beat Offset Display and even a Autobeat matching engine that, with one click, allows you to synchronise the beats of 2 songs.

> Customisable interface with skins and keystrokes
All windows can be resized, moved, shown or hidden. With the skins, you can fully customize your work environment.
All functions are assignable with keystrokes. Thanks to MixVibes keymapper you can easily customise keystrokes.

> Seamless loop
It’s very easy to create seamless loops with the sampler included in MixVibes. Loops are selectable in multiple bars (0.5 1 2 4 8 16). You can dynamically change the beat number without losing the loop point. A/B loops are available, too.

> Vinyl modes
Relative mode : moving the needle has no effect. The DJ can scratch and do seamless loops and cues using master tempo.
Absolute mode : The DJ can change the position of the track with the turntable needle. Also known as needle drop, MixVibes maps the vinyl instantaneously to the position of the mp3.
Wheel mode : The vinyl behaves like a wheel with no track length limitation. You don't need to play the vinyl continually.

> MIDI compatible and External controllers compatible
MixVibes DVS is fully midi compatible, and all MixVibes functions can be assigned to an external MIDI controller (like the UC-33). MixVibes allow you to use famous Hercules Dj Console and Mixman DM2 (v6.16 or better).
