The team at Mixvibes has a lot to celebrate today after launching what has potential to be the most successful DJ application on the Android platform. For many developers, building a DJing application that would work on the massive range of Android devices posed a major challenge – but Mixvibes took on challenge and is supporting any device with at least a 4″ inch screen, 1GB of RAM, a dual core processor, and Android 4.1 – and promises low latency and fast load times across the application.
Yes, other small time developers have tried to tackle the Android platform, but this is the first release from a recognized and respected brand (Mixvibes also develops Rekordbox – the system Pioneer uses for library management) with the resources to actually execute and support an application. This also means that the feature set is top notch – there’s BPM detection, sync, quantize, smart-seek (like Traktor’s BeatJump) manual pitch bend, XY pads, hot cues, recording, and even the ability for the interface to scale dynamically for 4″, 7″, and 10″ devices.
We haven’t had a chance to test it firsthand yet, but Cross for Android is available starting today in the Google Play store for $4.99 or check out a full featurelist on Mixvibes’ site here.
