Any mix can be saved on your Pacemaker.

The Pacemaker DJ Device

Here's how you make your own Pacemaker: take two digital turntables, a mixer and a CD library, and then fold them into something that fits in your pocket. 120GB, no moving parts, the ability to play two tracks at once and mix them like a DJ.  This is an MP3 player, but not as we know it.

With 120GB of space, the Pacemaker holds more high-quality dance tracks than you could carry in your vinyl hard cases. It lets you play two tracks, mix them, loop them, re-loop them, add effects, save them share them, and play them all in real time. It has 13ms latency, 103dB sound to noise ratio, five hours of mixing per charge and no moving parts - which means it's responsive, clear, will see through a couple of end to end sets, or a dull plane trip from coast to coast and you can use it and dance like a maniac.  Music just got a lot more portable.

I remember when the cables a DJ needed for a gig weighed more than this thing. The beauty of the Pacemaker is that you could mix the next great club anthem waiting in a line at the supermarket.  DJs used to have to carry a record case, two turntables and a mixer. Now they just need a free pocket and this thing.  What's the world coming to?  Listen to a new track as you wait for the cab.  Discover a new mix during the ride. Try it live at the end of your party set.  Not your average MP3 player...120GB, no moving parts, the ability to play two tracks at once and mix them like a DJ.  This is an MP3 player, but not as we know it.  With the Pacemaker pocket-sized DJ system, professionals get something which means they never have to be without their music, and ideas can go down anywhere; amateurs get a fast track into beat mixing, looping, effects and storming parties.  With 120GB of space, the Pacemaker holds more high-quality dance tracks than you could carry in your vinyl hardcases.  It lets you play two tracks, mix them, loop them, re-loop them, add effects, save them share them, and play them all in real time.  It has 13ms latency, 103dB sound to noise ratio, five hours of mixing per charge and no moving parts - which means it's responsive, clear, will see through a couple of end to end sets, or a dull plane trip from coast to coast and you can use it and dance like a maniac.  Portable music will never be the same.
