It has most of the controls you\’d expect, with one or two exceptions. A small button turns the “scratch” function on and off. There’s also a browse button to let you flick through your music library, and all the usual controls for cueing, playing and pausing each track, as well as reversing them for added fun. It’s imperative to get jog wheels “right” on a hardware controller, or it ceases to be fun to use, and for the price, ION has. There is an autosync feature to match your songs’ beats just as well, because whereas normally DJs have a fader to do this, this unit has buttons that aren’t as easy to use. The jogwheels (or “turntables”) and the crossfader are touch-sensitive and great for the price, and that means that anyone curious about the DJing experience, whether versed in turntables or not, will enjoy using this. Ever told yourself that one day you’ll record that mixtape you’ve had in your head for years? This piece of kit will let you do just that.
ION DISCOVER DJ WITH SERATO PROFESSIONAL
While clearly not meant to be a professional piece of equipment, it has all the essentials for basic digital DJing: it is certainly possible to DJ “properly” on this thing, and you CAN get decent results out of it. A “taster” product for digital DJing, it’s been around for a year or so now, but looks set to be a big hit this Christmas with a street price of just US$55. The ION Audio Discover DJ System is a no-frills, cheap-as-chips DJ controller.
