The Japanese brand Wacom introduced from this autumn a new version of the console nextbeat touch. About a year ago nextbeat had aroused some interest in the originality of control, reduced size and the ability to manage the second part of the deck and mixer remotely thanks to a kind of remote control touch.

For the loop in addition to the buttons and two pots were placed out to shorten or lengthen the loop ends at 2.

mkII are to improve the auto-bpm with its capability to automatically synchronize the tracks, the inclusion of a card in the pack of 16 Giga for uploading files and a significant reduction in the price fell to 999 hours €.

nextbeat The product is 100% reliable and very professional care in the quality of components. The situations ideali per sfruttare le potenzialità di questo prodotto sono sicuramente le applicazioni mobili dove la praticità di uso e trasporto rendono questa consolle perfetta all'esigenza. All'interno dei club il Nextbeat non può effettivamente sostituire una consolle vera e propria ma può essere comunque utilizzato per dare un tocco di personalizzazione al set grazie ad una unità sampler-loop davvero efficiente. Il controllo remoto è poi apprezzabile per i dj che amano coinvolgere il pubblico ed è di sicuro impatto scenico. Recentemente è stata anche introdotta la possibilità di personalizzare graficamente la superficie di controllo e i potenziometri.
