A Satisfying Development

Here you go. The new shape for our dj blocks. After a long time of pondering we decided on this slightly changed shape with big differences. It is made of the original cubes but it now has half on one of the faces angled and the following edge has been rounded. This makes it a lot more fun to play with and really feels like a piece of djing hardware. I'll explain that in a minute. First here's a new rationale to match our new blocks and our tilt concept.....

BlockDJ

Four cube-like blocks with an angled face and one rounded

edge, used for mixing samples together. Each block has one

assigned sample and is activated by a tilt switch. Rock the block

back on forward on the angled face to switch the sample on and

off or roll the block over its rounded edge onto the next flat face

for continuous looping of the sample.

Create a new mix every time with these hands-on and intuitive

sample blocks.

Ok, so why is this new design better? First of all the blocks no longer have to be picked up. Just rock and roll them on a flat surface (no pun intended, really). Now the samples can be triggered and paused quickly and easily with use of the angled face. This feels brilliant because it has a crossfader feel to it, like cutting a track, amazing. And then when you roll the block over to the continuous looping flat face it really feels like your throwing a track right into your set. After the developments over the last week i am really starting to become proud of this device as i'm sure Robbie is too. I hope I get a chance to use this in a club or event because, as I said earlier, its starting to really feel like a piece of djing equipment.
