IM GETTING ON THIS RIGHT NOW!!

Dicer

Serato Scratch Live has a new partner: The Novation Dicer.

Developed with Serato, this palm-sized cue point and looping controller has been designed to fit exactly where you need it: on your turntables, CDJs, mixer or laptop. Dicer always ships in pairs – one for each side.

Plug Dicer in, slot it on your turntable/CDJ, and you can instantly set cue points and use them to trigger ‘Hot Cues’. Or, flip Dicer into ‘Auto-Loop’ or ‘Loop Roll’ modes, to trigger loops, or ‘roll’ sections of the track to create climaxes, drops and glitchy breaks. Each ‘mode’ illuminates Dicer’s pads a different colour, so you can instantly see what mode the pads in, even in dark clubs and venues.

The forthcoming Scratch Live 2.1 update will automatically map the Dicer to these functions and provide full LED feedback – red for Hot Cues, green for Loop Roll, and amber for Auto-Loop. Dicer can control all cue-point and looping functions in the current version of Serato Scratch Live 2.0. This requires you to simply ‘learn’ cue-point and looping to Dicer’s pads, using Scratch Live’s MIDI-learn function. The public beta of Scratch Live 2.1 is available now, click here for details.

Dicer’s buttons can also ‘learn’ other software functions. So, you can assign different FX to the pads, or trigger samples over the top of your mix, or even browse tracks in your iTunes library!

Dicer was designed by Novation in collaboration with Ean Golden – DJ and curator of DJ Tech Tools. Ean came up with the concept of a controller that fits on the turntable, and his contribution has been crucial in helping Novation design and develop Dicer.

    Dondria Marketing Ideas:
    1. Do a contest where people take pics of their receipt showing they purchased the cd and send them in and a winner will win a prize
    2.For the Twitter war break the teams up. People with twitter names starting with A-M are #teamdondria and N-Z are #teamphatfffat. Officially announce this on next ustream.
    3. Tell everyone to vote and also tweet for people to vote for @dondria video on 106 & Park
    4. Tell people to do a twitpic of a pic of dondria on some site that they find once a day
    5. Tell people to tell all their friends on facebook to add http://www.facebook.com/dondria.fields
    6. Try to get all of her youtube friends to sign up for a twitter and if they have one already to follow her and tweet #dondriavsphatfffat.
    7. Tell twitter followers to tweet “http://eventful.com/performers/trey-songz-/P0-001-000010533-1/events” which is a link to the tour dates
    8. Tell people to make sure they Tweet her album release date and always mention @dondria #dondriavsphatfffat
    9. Tell people to share her mixtape so people can get a chance to hear her if they havent already.
    10. Make sure that everyone in the SOSODEF camp that has a twitter says something good about dondria daily so their followers will check her out.
    11. Add some more things in the Dondria section on the global14 site that will draw a little more attention from fans like pictures.
    12. Continue to have her hitting up radio stations while she is on tour
    13. Have Dondria create a ustream channel
    14. Make sure Dondria continues to hit up twitter with her tweets
