June 4th, 2010 – Novation, maker of the Launchpad and series of nifty MIDI keyboards, has just released the Dicer, a mini-MIDI controller that’s designed to be a trigger for your DJ software. While it’s Serato-certified, you can also map it to Traktor and others. The Dicer bridges the gap between the pure vinyl spinners, and the new cue-point juggling style of controllerists.
The interesting part though is not necessarily the device itself which is admittedly nifty and affordable ($99 for a pair), but the backstory behind it. Ean Golden of DJ TechTools fame invented it and over on DJ TechTools he has a post explaining why he came up with the concept and how the device came to be. The best part is the picture of his cardboard “prototype”.
