It is mentioned in the help file, but so far it just sits there looking pretty. Oddly enough, there is a button for DMX light control that does nothing. In this world of confusing layouts, this is a welcome chance. One nice feature of the layout is that the extra features of the application, such as sampler, VST host and Relooper are hidden but easily available via the center column of buttons. I will say that Deckadance is a sharp looking DVS, and with a selection of very pleasant to look at skins(save for the love or hate DJ Tech skin, which brings to mind Lenny Bruce’s jokes about the amount of neon on the streets in Miami), Deckadance can be customized pretty quickly to suit your tastes. I could go over the layout at length, but honestly it sticks with the established horizontal waveform layout format that Final Scratch brought to the table in 1999. Layout wise, Deckadance does not seem to deviate all that much from established standards at first glance. Pinky variants) is not on the list, one can use the timecode learn function to allow Deckadance to recognize virtually any timecode solution that you throw at it. As well, if your choice of Vinyl (re: non-Ms. After booting up, one is greeted by the usual Audio/MIDI setup options, which thankfully are located in the main screen as opposed to the usual sub-menu of a sub-menu nonsense.Īs well, a Vinyl-select screen is located on the bottom of the screen to choose what kind of vinyl to use. Installation was quick and painless, with a basic challenge/response system in place to keep the kids honest. And the font used is frankly bloody awful (Note: the above screenshot has been chopped up from its original across the screen layout. This is quite a novel idea in and of itself, if only because I think everyone who uses a DVS live knows the feeling of searching stores in the area before a gig, praying that your particular brand is in stock.

Pinky family (Versions 1-4, Torq, PCDJ Reflex) is supported in Absolute and Relative mode, and any other timecode solution can be used in Relative mode with the “Learn” function. Yes, it can be purchased in a box, but unlike other DVS solutions that can utilize Time-coded vinyl, Deckadance takes a far different approach in that it lets you decide what type of vinyl to use. The first thing one notices about Deckadance is that there is really no “box” to open. Passing the torch to one Luis Serrano Cavero, Imageline chose to continue on with development, and, as a spoiler to the rest of the review, I am happy to say that Argu would be very happy with how his baby has been groomed. Deckadance was quite obviously a labor of love for Juan, and there was a bit of fear on everyone’s part I think that Deckadance would not be given the same treatment that Juan had done. “Argu”, by all accounts an amazingly intelligent and warm person, and there was a certain bit of whimsy in his words about his new baby that seemed to indicate that Deckadance was destined to be something special. The feature set however, even in its first versions, seemed to indicate that it had the potential to introduce a great deal of innovative ideas, and the initial marketing suggested that Deckadance was not just a new piece of software, but a labor of love.įate was not kind however to Imageline or the creator of Deckadance, Juan Antonio Arguelles, who tragically passed away not long after the initial version. From a visual standpoint, there did not seem to be much difference from the original format that Final Scratch set back in 1999. When Deckadance was announced a couple years ago, I was rather curious to see what path it would take. Each method has its merits and cannot really be considered better or worse, just a different approach. Since then, there have been a flood of other choices, some deviating far from the original format, while others have chosen to stay fairly close to the original format, with changes added where needed. While Final Scratch may have been the first DVS system, history has not been kind to its memory (to the point that even Native Instruments Traktor, which was Final Scratch compatible from version 1.1-3.3 has deviated from and improved a great deal upon the original platform). The second is to wait in the wings, observe the products in a given category and then make choices based upon what did and did not work. The first is to simply blaze a trail and hope that history will show the choices you make to be sound. In the world of software, there are two paths that one can take toward innovation.
