![]() Reloop have seen this gap in the market and are one of the first to take on the challenge of producing a professional DJ controller for the iPad. Just like in the opening hours of a club night where everyone is waiting to see who will be the first person on the dancefloor, manufacturers have been waiting to see who will move first. When it comes to iPad DJ controllers what the niche manufacturers have pitched for is far removed from the professional DJ circuit: iPad DJ controllers are seen at house parties, not in the DJ booth of clubs like Fabric. ![]() So why is it that the iPad has, as yet, failed to gain a proper foothold in DJ booths when, given its size and weight, it could make the perfect companion for life on the road? While there are a few factors at play here - not least of which is the fact that DJs can be notoriously stubborn and nostalgic, with some still insisting on transporting large heavy plastic discs across the planet - possibly the largest hurdle the iPad faces before it is taken seriously is the lack of truly professional controllers. In more recent times the iPad has seen serious DJ apps released to suit all tastes, styles and budgets. In the four years since the release of the first iPad there has been a steady stream of music-making and DJing apps that have got increasingly better as the hardware has improved.
