Pioneer DDJ-WeGO works with Algoriddim’s djay software for Mac

Pioneer’s most affordable DJ controller, the DDJ-WeGO, currently bundled
with the “Virtual DJ Limited Edition” software by Atomix Productions, is
now compatible1 with Algoriddim’s djay® DJ software.  The djay2* software,
available exclusively for Mac®, utilizes the user’s iTunes® music library
to simplify the music mixing experience and provides basic DJ functions
such as scratching and mixing, an Auto Mix feature for seamless playback of
music without interruption, and an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)
that rotates the album artwork of the music being played.  Current users of
the djay software can simply update* the software for compatibility when
used with a DDJ-WeGO.

For DDJ-WeGO users, a “djay LE” version of the software is available at no
cost with.  The “djay LE” software provides many of the same functions as
the original “djay”  version,  with the exception of the Recording and
Automix functions,  and can be downloaded from the Algoriddim website (
http://www.algoriddim.com/djay-le).

Pioneer’s DDJ-WeGO DJ controllers make it easy for beginners to learn how
to mix with built-in effects and features:
  ·  Jog FX – Allows users to combine multiple effects and control them
    simultaneously using the Jog wheel.
  ·  Pulse Control – Provides users with visual prompts with a variety of
    colored lights on the Jog platters:
      o Mix Pulse – The mix pulse mode shows the difference in pitch of
        songs currently playing through the light of the Jog wheel.  As
        the pitch of songs begin to match, the intensity of the light
        increases,  allowing the user to check visually that the beats
        are in sync. In conjunction with the music, the pulse of lights
        helps to improve beat matching skills.3
      o Launch Pulse – Triggers a red light on the Jog wheel to signify
        that music has been loaded successfully.
      o   FX Pulse – The effect being applied to the currently playing
        song will not only be heard,  but will also be represented
        visually via the light movements on the Jog wheel.
  ·  USB Power – The DDJ-WeGO utilizes power from USB connections found on
    most computers, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
  ·  Other features
      o Five available colors: white, black, red, green, and violet
      o Built-in audio ports for high quality sound input and output
      o Built-in sound card for expanded music storage and portability
