Channel 1 and Channel 2

Press left button to control channel 1, press right button to control channel 2. Full mixing functionality is available for both channels independently. Couldn't be more simple!

Crossfader

Set at maximum left, channel 1 is alone in line out, set at maximum right, only channel 2 is in line out, and set in the middle, both channels are at the same line out level. Any variations hereof are of course possible blend options, which gives you complete control of your mix.

Play/pause

The play button behaves like on any other audio player, but when in Mix Mode, the pause is ‘stuttering’, allowing you to search and find the appropriate place to set the cue point.

Touchpad

The touchpad allows you to bend a track, change EQ values and gain levels.

Kill All

The Kill All button resets all effect values to zero, and lets you relaunch effects to latest values per track and channel.

Stuff Review (rated 5/5): "...iPod DJ-ing might sound fun in theory but to really get on top of mixing MP3s you need to be able to beat match, change pitch and cue up tracks. The Pacemaker takes that challenge, chews it up, and spits out a tasty set of tunes..The Pacemaker genuinely has the potential to revolutionise the world of DJing..." Click here for the full review.
