Many people onhere still think that modern day deejays just play records.. Times have changed, and many of them are turning into electronic musicians..

Just have a look at this deejay using NI Machine...

this has been going on for years now DJ's are high tech music creators for sure,.....& you wanna know why kids don't have interest in Arranger Kb's? Like I said there is life beyond styles...

Actually first it was just software...

Now its a combination of hardware and software.... Dedicated controllers.
Machine is a beast, and there is talk of NI building all this soft and hardware experience intoo a workstation.

It's a NEW ballgame out here in the Music creation world

My kids in school are all having a blast with Novation's Launchpad. There's even a free iPad app that works great. I can even use it live with my "old folks" rig ... hee, hee..

This stuff is only in its Infancy.....just wait a few more years and you wont believe whats coming soon in the future.

Well, I'm an arranger player. No interest in dj work, although I've done it a time or two. When they stop calling me to entertain the way I do it then I'll fade into the sunset.

Yes it is, wayt till they discover that they can make these sequences follow a chordline... Or even better, play chords realtime and allow the music to follow that.

With all and the schools crying poor mouth, and budget cuts, its a wonder kids know what an instrument is or does. Very sad situation that's only getting worse. Just My Opinion! Just try to take away my keyboards, not gonna happen ever
