Rig Mix allows DJs to use a traditional setup with two devices (one plugged into each of the independent channels) OR a single iOS device.
For the single iOS device setup, the output of the single device is split into dual-mono and sent to the individual channels. Additionally - for the first time on any DJ mixer - it can be used for mixing any type of audio source (mp3 players, CD players, etc.) with an iOS device using automatic tempo matching and beat-syncing. This is accomplished with X-Sync, a feature that works in combination with the DJ Rig free app from IK Multimedia that is included with iRig Mix.

Emulation II features a set of unique instruments to reproduce that typical sound and music from the 80s: from warm digital sounds to the most analogish textures.
UVI followed an hybrid approach to create these sounds, combining deep multi-sampling and powerful modeling tools (analog filters, LFO, envelopes...) inspired by the original machine, enhanced with today most modern audio processing and script technology.
Sounds were recorded and carefully selected from an authentic restored instru- ment, with the very best analog and digital gear, following the non-compromis- ing UVI quality standard. This process guarantees the lo-fi charm of the original sounds!
Discover also Drumulation : an utter beatbox with step sequencer from the eighties loaded with 500+ drum and percussion sounds. Make your beats sound 12 bits!
