What’s inside

Less distance between
you and the music.

01

A library that stays yours

Import your own tracks and folders. Find your favourites, shape playlists and keep your collection on your device.

02

Two decks. More possibilities.

Mix with independent transport, cue points, loops, three-band EQ and an equal-power crossfader.

03

Find your own sound

Explore delay, reverb, filters and other effects. Build a smart queue from your library, then make the journey your own.

04

Keep the moment

Record your mix from the output, preview it and export it. Your work stays with your collection.

Shape your next listening session

Your collection has a home.

On your device.

Core playback uses your local library, without an account or an online database. Optional online lookups are controlled separately. Browser and native libraries are separate, with backup and restore tools for moving your collection.
