Djay Pro Iphone Tutorial
Ready to rock your next party? Introducing djay 2 - the next generation of the #1 DJ app is now available on Android. Djay transforms your Android device into a full–featured DJ system. Seamlessly integrated with your music library, djay gives you direct access to mix your favorite songs and playlists. This feature-packed controller is now compatible with Algoriddim’s djay app for iOS and djay Pro for PC/Mac – which all link to Spotify Premium – as well as our professional performance application, rekordbox dj (license key included). Simply connect your DDJ-400 to your iPhone/iPad to play using the free version of djay for iOS. The djay Pro loop controls feature a simple set-up consisting of three buttons: loop length decrease, loop activate, and loop length increase. The loop length is shown in beats, and changing the size halves or doubles, from 1/16th of a beat up to 32 beats. When a loop is active, the loop activate button will turn blue.

Pioneer DJ’s new DDJ-200 hardware is designed to work with mobile devices and streaming services primarily, and laptops/local music only as another way of DJing on top of that. It is able to work with a wide range of streaming services by being compatible with DJ apps from other brands as well as Pioneer DJ’s own WeDJ.
To use Spotify on it, then, you don’t use the (free) WeDJ app that Pioneer DJ recommends for the unit (check our first look review here), but instead, you use the djay app from Algoriddim, which is officially supported too.
djay has the added advantage of also working with iPad, up to and including the iPad Pro, so you get much more screen real estate to play with over DJing with WeDJ on an iPhone (WeDJ isn’t for iPad as of now).
Note that day in its full version is a subscription app (although at the time of writing you get six months for free), and you’ll need a Spotify subscription too to do this.
How to set it up
To get the DDJ-200 working with the app, you need to first power the DDJ-200 (plug it into your phone charger with the attached cable, for instance), then use the supplied mono (or “DJ”) splitter cable to take your iOS device’s headphones out to both your speakers and your headphones. Note that if you’re using a newer iPhone, you’ll need the headphones adaptor too, which removes your chance to charge the iPhone without yet another adaptor.
Next, you need to hit the preferences and go to Bluetooth Controllers, tapping on the DDJ-200 to get the two devices talking to each other.
To use Spotify, you hit the flashing music icon on either deck, and select Spotify from your options as a source. Log in if you’re not logged in already, and all your playlists etc are there. Tap a track, and you’re off.

It is smooth, and a great deal of fun. Tracks load instantaneously on any half decent connection, and you can DJ with them immediately. for parties, music discover and so on, this is great – although because you can’t DJ with any kind of locally cached files, you wouldn’t want to rely on it for long in any professional situation.
The DDJ-200 and djay integration is fine – you’ll find yourself using the iOS device more for stuff that you can’t do on the controller (I couldn’t see any way to use pad FX, although I may have missed it, for instance); by default the pads are halved top/bottom between loops (with variations triggered by holding “shift” as well) and four cues.
Transition FX – a big new thing in WeDJ, with loads of variations – is one effect only (filter transition), again as far as I could tell on a “first look” test.
None of these limitations are dealbreakers, because for me one of the advantages of Algoriddim’s software is that you can use this on a bigger screened device where it’s fine to use the touchscreen a bit more. The views, the FX, the sequencer and several other things on djay are better than WeDJ for me, and I am sure a lot of Algoriddim users would agree too. the choice is what’s important.
The only thing that irked me was having to go into a menus then another menu to change headphones volume.

This is a great way of DJing with Spotify quickly, simply and cheaply using a neat new piece of beginner hardware from Pioneer, and an established leader in iOS DJing software.
Many people will be happy to see this, and a lot of beginners who simply don’t understand why they can’t DJ with their lovingly crafted Spotify library will love this – it removes a huge obstacle for getting started in DJing.

Algoriddim, known for its industry leading djay software, today released a brand new pro-level app for the iPhone, finally expanding djay Pro across Apple's full line of iOS and Mac devices.
djay Pro for iPhone, which brings the pro features djay is known for to a pocket-sized device that can go anywhere, follows the release of both djay Pro for iPad and djay Pro for Mac and comes as Algoriddim celebrates its 10 year anniversary.
The app has been built for iOS 10 and the iPhone 7, incorporating features like 3D Touch and haptic feedback. The interface will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used one of djay's other Pro apps, with support for two waveforms and up to four decks in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
The entire app has been optimized for the iPhone's interface and while simple enough for a beginner to use, it goes deep enough to suit professionals. Tools are layered to accommodate a smaller screen, but everything is still right at your fingertips.
'djay Pro has been a huge hit on Mac and iPad,' said Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim. 'iPhone 7 has enabled us to completely transform the user experience of djay Pro by using haptic feedback and 3D Touch. It puts a fully-featured DJ system in your pocket so you can be creative no matter where you are.'
On the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, waveform haptic support means users can actually feel the beats when scratching and scrubbing music for a much more visceral music making experience. 3D Touch has also been incorporated in an innovative way, letting users set cue points without needing to lift a finger from the iPhone's screen.
Spotify integration, one of the features that really sets djay apart from other apps, is included as is full video integration for mixing and scratching two or more videos (including video shot directly with the iPhone's camera).
Full hardware support is included in djay Pro for iPhone, so an iPhone can be plugged into a range of professional DJ controllers like the Reloop Beatpad, Reloop Beatpad 2, Pioneer DDJ- WeGO 3 and 4, and Numark Mixdeck Quad.
Like djay Pro for iPad and Mac, the iPhone version of the software features full accessibility options like haptic integration, VoiceOver options, and more. A built-in Apple Watch app also serves as a remote control for browsing through playlists, cueing up and mixing songs, and controlling advanced audio effects.
djay Pro for iPhone is available for a limited time launch price of $4.99. While built for the iPhone 7, it's compatible with the iPhone 5 and later. iOS 10 is required. [Direct Link]
