UltraMixer 3.1: new features at glance!

December 14th, 2011

The new UltraMixer 3.1 is out and comes with plenty new features, which we are going to introduce shortly.

1. Prelistening in the SamplePlayer

Besides the Preview-Player in the play lists and in the Archive itself, there is now a Preview-Player directly in the Sampler! It’s easy to prelisten samples over your head phones without getting noticed by your audience. This feature needs to be enabled. Just click on the head phone symbol to activate the Prelistening mode.

Vorhörplayer Icon

Right after the Prelistening mode is activated it is possible to play back samples over your head phones just by clicking the sample button. The well known Preview-Player opens up and plays this particular sample. Furthermore you have all those possibilities that are already known from the Preview-Player like seeking or time display. Even more, you can adjust the prelistening volume inside the Preview-Player.

2. Special-FX

The new “Special FX” (special effects) comes with four brand new live effects, which can be applied on a player with a  playing title.

Brake

The Brake-effect slows the current title until it is stopped and it plays it back again. All that is done with the length of one beat/bar.

ForwardSpin

The ForwardSpin-effect simulates a fast forward spinning/turning of a vinyl. Once you left-click the effect with your mouse the ForwardSpin will be done entirely. In case you click right on the effect button, the effect will only be done until you released the pressed mouse button and the ForwardSpin-effect will be chanceled.

BackwardSpin

The BackwardSpin-effect simulates a fast backward spinning/turning of a vinyl. Once you left-click the effect with your mouse the BackwardSpin will be done entirely. In case you click right on the effect button, the effect will only be done until you released the pressed mouse button and the BackwardSpin-effect will be chanceled.

Reverse

The Reverse-effect plays the current title backwards.

3. Statistics for the FileArchiv

With the menu “archiv ^” => “show FileArchiv statistics” you get to the statistics dialog. This dialog shows information about your music archive. Title count, Group count and count of different genres are only a first step.

4. Marking of missing titles

It’s often the case, if you change your music archive with a file explorer like Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to create inconstistent archives. Don’t worry about this anymore. UltraMixer will mark music titles that are present in the FileArchive but not anymore on your hard drive with an exclemation mark.

5. Saving groups as M3U and CSV

Groups or Playlists that are available in the FileArchive, can now being saved to a CSV (e.g. to import in Excel or OpenOffice) and to a M3U-Playlists.

6. Search with multipleterms

UltraMixer 3.1 gives you even more power to write search queries for the FileArchive in order to us multiple search terms. Every single word/term will be used to search in all columns of the archive. A special search for the title “Billy Jean” from Michael Jackson could be: “michael jackson billy jean”. In case you want to search for a specfic complex phrase which is only contained in one column, you just need to set up the serach terms in double quotes, e.g. “Billy Jean”.

7. Sonstiges

UltraMixer 3.0.2 available! 30 new features, 10 new MIDI controllers incl. Denon MC6000. Update now for free.

April 20th, 2011

Today we release UltraMixer 3.0.2. Besides many new features, there are ten brand new MIDI controllers supported including DENON DN-MC6000, DENON DN-SC2000 and Hercules DJ4Set. Once UltraMixer has shown an incredible speed when it comes to native integration (no mapping, tight integration) into the DJ Software.

Additionally, the iTunes-Integration has been improved. Now, it is possible to synchronize iTunes-groups und to load up iTunes-playlists directly to UltraMixer. Furthermore the BPM-Studio-Importer has been enhanced, in order to import playlists, cue points and all played songs into UltraMixer. The transition has become even more easy.

We have been working on the overall performance. UltraMixer 3.0.2 imports the entire music archive more than 10 times faster than before and the recursive views have also been drastically enhanced. That makes ultramixing fun :)
