Serato x Jazzman collabo

"Nobody digs deeper than Jazzman in mining the rich seams of musical history, but having said that we are not frightened to embrace the future either - so after over a year working alongside the boffins at Serato we have brought you a global industry first, the SERATO CONTROL TONE on the coolest and most popular musical format yet invented - 7" 45rpm VINYL. Not only do you now have access the cutest control vinyl in the world but when you flip that bad boy over you have one of the rarest funk 45s on the planet, Mr Clean's version of the Marvin Gaye ultra classic "Whats Going On". Let it be known that this version of Mr Clean would cost you $3000+ if you ever saw it on the open market. Now it’s yours for a song, playable like any normal record, on glorious 45rpm 7” vinyl! Serato is a New Zealand company that has revolutionized the way DJs play their records. Instead of playing a normal record in the normal way, DJs play a special vinyl record that has the ‘Serato control tone’ pressed in the grooves instead of the music. Using normal turntables wired up to a laptop, the DJ can use Serato software to play these control tone records, and what you hear is the music the DJ has chosen which is stored on the laptop. The records play using a stylus like any normal record, and the advantage is that just like with normal records, you can handle them to mix and scratch. You can have any number of music files stored on your laptop, so you’re not just limited to what you have in your record box. The software is recognized as a leader in the field of Digital DJing and has been adopted by many of the top DJs in the world. The advantage over having a 7” disc is portability – they will fit into the same bag as your laptop, so no need to carry another cumbersome bag holding your 12” discs!"

Jazzman wspólnie z Serato w końcu po latach przełamuje schemat na rynku i wprowadza "7 z kodem czasowym. Strona B siódemki jest wytłoczona dla 33 1/3 obrotów talerza. Seraciwo domyślnie zostało zaprojektowane dla wolniejszych obrotów, ale dla tych którzy chcą mieć feeling 45s i na takiej szybkości operować, spokojnie można programowo przełączyć na 45 rpm co skraca długość kodu czasowego na wosku z 5-ciu minut na 3m42s. Dla mnie służyć będą jako double do posiadanych już "7 jak i ćwiczenia setów dla bboys i bgirls. Taki sobie gadżet za parę funtów.
