Wacom are the company who is mainly known for their pen-based graphic tablets and touch screens is now making a move on the DJ Controllers market with the Wacom Nextbeat wireless controller. The Nextbeat controller lets the DJ/Music Producer/Performer take his controller away from the base station (STATION!) and keep working away from the DJ stand/Stage; now you can actually stand in the dancefloor and dance with people while you DJ!

 I didn’t realise there is a need for a Wireless DJ Controller that combines two digital players, a mixer, effector and sampler but anyway there is one now.

 

the nextbeat incorporates a variety of touch-based sensors on its control pod, but Wacom were smart enough to also include a number of knobs and buttons for places where tactile feedback is a must.

Wacom plans on releasing the nextbeat DJ system in Europe and Japan in Summer 2009. No word on price or a North American release date, but you can check back for more information over at the nextbeat preview site. It’ll also be on display at the Winter Music Conference from 24-28 March 2009 in Miami Beach, Florida, USA, and Musikmesse from 1-4 April 2009 in Frankfurt, Germany – if you happen to be there.
