In collaboration with music-software maker Algoriddim, Vestax has released the Spin DJ controller ($249.95 MSRP), an all-in-one bundle of digital DJ hardware and Algoriddim's djay 3 software ($49.95 if purchased separately) for Macs.

The two Spin elements pair well together; while the software integrates with your iTunes library and transforms your Mac computer into a DJ setup, the Vestax hardware replicates the control and physical sensation of mixing and scratching on physical records.

The Spin DJ controller mimics the classic setup of two turntables and a mixer, and connects to any Mac via USB. You can control djay 3 by using two high-resolution, touch-sensitive jog wheels, as if you were scratching and remixing on an analog turntable. Using the crossfader and controls for speed, looping, cue points, effects, and EQ, you can fade from one song to another and then apply effects.

Also included are a built-in audio interface with a microphone input, and two stereo outputs for headphones and master. Compact and lightweight, the Spin controller is about the same size as an Apple MacBook.

Now shipping, the Spin controller is available from Apple Stores in the United States and Canada.
