Free app users get the basics, including access to Spotify streaming and the software’s automix functions, while advanced and professional DJs can choose to upgrade to “djay Pro” for a US$4.99 monthly subscription.
The subscription djay Pro version gives access to the video functions, as well as a new Looper & Sequencer feature for launching audio and video clips in sync with any music playing on djay’s decks, for live remixing and improvisation.
It also features the ability to plug in and map any Midi controller via Midi Learn, offers access to the single-deck preparation screen, and includes Ableton Link for syncing with other Link-enabled apps, and more.

Dec 12, 2017 DJ software maker Algoriddim is releasing djay Pro 2 for macOS today. It’s a major update to the company’s flagship app. It still features what made djay popular in the first place, such as.
Users of the latest USB-C iPad Pro can plug in external displays and controllers to djay Pro, to create custom and powerful iOS multimedia gigging set-ups.
So what is djay, and why the change?
Sometimes forgotten behind the bigger names, Algoriddim’s djay platform started on iOS but is now available in various guises across iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. It’s a highly capable platform and entirely possible to gig with on just a touchscreen device. That said, it has dedicated hardware too, such as the Reloop Mixon 4 and Beatpad 2.
Algoriddim’s combining of its various iOS offerings (djay 2, djay Pro, vjay) into one on iOS reflects a desire to simplify its product range, which makes sense.
The new subscription model is in line with lots of other software companies nowadays. We think US$4.99 a month offers good value for DJs needing the extra features, and of course everyone can get the basics for free – although note that if you want to use it with Spotify you will need to be a Spotify Premium subscriber.
As Algoriddim has always innovated on iOS first then developed afterwards for the other platforms, we’d expect similar changes down the line for Android, Mac and Windows too – although nothing has been announced.

While iPad isn’t a full desktop replacement for most users, it has certainly expanded and evolved what can be done with a mobile device. And in some scenarios, there’s no question iPad is the best fit, like a DJ performing in near zero-gravity from the International Space Station.
The first-ever live DJ set in space was performed by European astronaut Luca Parmitano recently and iPad running Algoriddm’s djay app was what made it possible. The performance was broadcast live from the ISS to a crowd on a cruise ship (via Digital DJ Tips).
Using an iPad with djay Pro, European astronaut Luca Parmitano’s performance was beamed from the International Space Station straight to a cruise ship packed with ravers. Floating inside one of the ISS’s rooms, DJ Luca dropped a mix of EDM, hardstyle and uplifting (ahem) trance to an enthusiastic audience watching him from massive LED walls back on Earth.
Parmitano’s software of choice, Algoriddm’s djay app for iOS and Mac is designed for everyone from pros to beginners and offers several different ways to create. Check out more about djay here.

In the near zero-gravity environment, iPad was a natural fit for the DJ being a single touchscreen device. He also has what looks like velcro fixed to the back of the tablet to be able to attach it to his pants when needed.
A standard turntable set-up would not work (at least not without major modifications) mainly because there is no gravity to consistently hold the needle down on the record.
There were a few hiccups and latency issues as is to be expected when transmitting live from space but overall it is a really cool accomplishment and created a unique, fun experience.
