Djay for iPad and Other Actually Cool Music Apps Coming With iOS 4.2 [Video]

I was pretty pumped in regards to the prospect of multitouch music apps before the iPad’s release, but iOS 3.x didn’t give developers too many audio options to work with. iOS 4.2, however, will, so we’re gonna get sweet stuff like this.

Apple’s apparently opened things way up on the audio front inside the next iOS update-we already heard that there can be full MIDI support -this means that you’ll expect to look an entire new breed of music making apps arriving including it. djay for iPad, a port of Algoriddim’s popular djay for Mac software teased over at MacRumors , shall be leading the wave, allowing you to load tracks from your iPod library, play two back simultaneously and detect and match BPM, change pitch and speed, adjust EQ settings, and an entire lot more.

The app will support multitasking, for taking part in your loops inside the background if you surf the net or whatever, and you’ll have the ability to beam your mixes to speakers wirelessly via AirPlay. The developers says latency is all the way down to a negligible 3 milliseconds.

According to Algoriddim, djay for iPad will probably be available shortly after the release of iOS 4.2, which itself must be showing up any day now. I, as someone who’s perpetually watching for technology to catch up to the musical genius I know I even have inside me, cannot wait. [ MacRumors ]
