Mixqora on a Mac: four decks with waveforms, hot cues and effects

Now playing

Four tracks. One grid.

Every deck runs on its beat grid, so sync, loops, beat jump and quantized cues land on the beat. Tracks whose tempo moves get a grid that moves with them.

01Cue

Hit every cue. Every time.

16 hot cues a track, coloured and named the way you want. Memory cues, loops from 1/16 to 8 beats, slip, reverse and beat jump from 1/8 to 128 beats. Quantize keeps every hit on the one.

Hot cue pads A to H with times and names

02Sync

Locked. Even when the tempo moves.

BEAT SYNC locks tempo and phase. Master Tempo holds the key while you ride the pitch, KEY SYNC matches keys, and you can shift up to 12 semitones either way. Tempo range ±6, ±10, ±16 % or WIDE.

03FX

Build it up. Tear it down.

Two BEAT FX units with 35 effects, one at a time or three chained. RELEASE FX for the vinyl brake, echo or back spin out. Nine SOUND COLOR FX per channel, eight SMART CFX presets, MERGE FX build-ups and PAD FX on the pads.

04Mix

A full mixer and your own drops.

Trim, three-band EQ or isolator, colour FX, channel faders, crossfader curves and headphone cue. The sampler is quantized and BPM-synced, with sixteen starter sounds made by Mixqora: air horn, dub siren, riser, impact and more.

Controllers

Your controller. Your mapping.

Mixqora is built to work with the gear you already own. Plug in a MIDI DJ controller, map it the way your hands expect, and play.

  • Controllers with a ready-made mapping on your Mac connect by themselves
  • MIDI LEARN maps the buttons, knobs, faders and pads of any MIDI controller
  • One saved mapping per controller, and back to the default any time
  • No controller with you? Play from the computer keyboard with shortcuts you set

Tested on hardware so far: DDJ-FLX4.
