Italian DJ/producer John Type has demonstrated Ableton Live 11 in a creative video.

Via vinyl synthesis, Type has innovated playing and sequencing a vinyl record like a synthesizer with the new features of Ableton Live 11. Vestax PDX-3000 and Technics SL-1210 turntables are impressively used to sync the beats of two distinctively different tracks to demonstrate the possibilities of vinyl synthesis. The Vestax PDX-3000 plays the melody of Daft Punk‘s 1995 single “Da Funk,” which morphs into the bass arpeggio of Donna Summer‘s 1978 classic “I Feel Love” because the analog pitch of the Technics SL-1210 changes the speed of the drums and Ableton Live 11 — via the Tempo Follower feature — stays in sync.

To pull off this impressive feat, a few pieces of hardware are required. Foremost, a turntable with MIDI pitch control — the Vestax Controller One / PDX-3000 or Reloop RP-8000 — is essential. An audio and MIDI interface is needed to connect the audio from the mixer and control the MIDI turntable. As well, a MIDI controller is key.

Ableton Live 10 Suite / 11 Standard requires MIDI Envelope, Utility, and Auto Filter plugins to allow for this work to occur. Plus, a vinyl with a synth tone in the locked groove — commonly found in Battle Breaks / DJ Tools is key to allowing this DJ skill to be performed.

The tools and skills he used in the demo are available for free on his website. Type has also included a detailed breakdown of how he accomplished this.

• Rekordbox is the software from Pioneer DJ, originally designed to help DJs organize and export tracks to USB drives. RekordBox DJ also comes with a performance mode that allows you to spin via your laptop and a DJ controller. It’s pretty similar in functionality and style to Serato.
• ENGINE PRIME is Denon DJ's powerful Music Analysis and Management software that helps you organize, categorize and import your music, either fully integrated from Rekordbox, iTunes, Serato and NI Traktor collections (including hot cues and loop info) or via drag 'n drop from existing music folders.
• . iTunes Rekordbox Collection Backup Tool (CBT) Backup a Rekordbox or Apple TV collection to a single disk. CBT can automatically start DeCU with all the correct parameters. DeCU + CBT = Sync Manager from your workflow to Denon Prime. With the release of DeXT 2.0, this tool has evolved in a full feature Sync back from Denon Prime to Rekordbox.

Denon DJ just announced a firmware update to its SC5000 Prime flagship media player. Now at version 1.0.3, the update gives the SC5000 Prime the ability to use thumb drives and SD cards containing music prepared using Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox software. The SC5000 Prime automatically converts hot cues, saved loops, and playlists so you can access all of them when spinning on an SC5000 Prime. That means you can turn up to a club with your USB sticks as you normally would, plug them into the SC5000 Prime and you’re off to the races.

This is an important development because it means that Denon DJ has essentially made Rekordbox-prepared USB drives “cross platform” (at least as far as Pioneer DJ and Denon DJ Prime gear go). Club DJs who have spun with Rekordbox-prepared music on USB sticks and CDJs for years can now potentially get that same experience on an SC5000 Prime set-up without having to re-export their music using the Engine Prime laptop software.

• The Denon DJ SC5000 1.0.3 firmware update is now available. Check the Denon DJ site for more details.
