Toss These on Your Decks and TEAR IT UP!

If you're into serious DJing, then there's one cat you've got to know about - Ean Golden, the mastermind behind DJ TechTools. This time Ean Golden swapped his usual "hey guys, check out this cool new controller" line for "hey Novation, listen up. I've got a great idea!" Dreamt up by Golden and developed by Novation in collaboration with Serato, here's one of the coolest little DJ toys on the planet: the Dicer. The Dicer comes as a pair of five button cue and loop triggers with three mode switches. Simple, right? But wait, there's more to the Dicer. Keep reading.

You know that old saying about how "form follows function." Well, that's what's so cool about the Dicer. These little controllers fit right on top of your turntables, exactly where you need them when you need them. Screw them in place on your old-school Techniques rig, or stick 'em on to your CDJs or whatever with reusable putty. No more fumbling around for that trigger pad or whatever and botching you moves; now you can just reach down to the corner of your deck and your triggers are under your fingertips. In Serato Scratch, you get Hot Cue, Loop Roll, and Auto Loop modes, with each mode changing the color of the buttons (instant feedback, not a bad thing at all). And just in case you're wondering, yes, you can use the Dicer controller set with other DJ software, too. Isn't it time you upgraded your old decks with a Novation Dicer controller set?
