Dear Pacemaker,

We love your product and have promoted it on this site for some time now. It is a revolutionary piece of technology. We would love to do a hands on review.

Yours truly,

This is pretty sweet. A sign that the day you can load up Pro Tools or Ableton Live on your phone and produce tracks isnt too far off. Technologic.

This thing is the coolest little piece of digital music technology since the ipod. The Pacemaker is a mobile (pocket sized and only 7 ounces in weight) personal DJ mixing system. Its massive hard drive (120GB) allows for storage of more than enough music to play around with. Its touch control system allows you to select songs, mix, change pitch, sample, loop, filter, and much more! Its essentially Serato Scratch in the palm of your hand. Bonkers! Some beta devices have been delivered to a small population of DJs and technology folks and its getting rave reviews from everyone from what we are told. This thing is going to inspire a whole new crop of DJs after people get their hands on it. It will see its official public release sometime in March and will retail for $700.

To the good folks at Tonium…..Please send us one!!! We are big tech geeks over here as well as musicologists. We will promote the hell out of this thing for you!

Here are a few videos to show you how cool this thing really is.

I would sit in front of this thing for hours! The Monome is a reconfigurable grid of sixty-four backlit buttons.  Buttons can be configured as toggles, radio groupings, sliders, or organized into more sophisticated systems to monitor and trigger sample playback positions, stream 1-bit video, interact with dynamic physical models, and play games.  To really get a sense of what this thing can do check out the link below.
