MIXTRAX is not a specific individual software or a product, but a
name of technology “to provide continuous uplifting feeling through Mix
& Play like presented by DJ” for customers.
Pioneer Electronics continues to offer innovative audio technologies
and today introduces MIXTRAX, a proprietary technology which creates a
nonstop mix of an entire music library to create a club-like atmosphere.
Designed for music lovers and the club-going audience, MIXTRAX takes
the music from an iPhone/iPod or USB/SD device and plays it back with
added transitions and effects creating a virtual DJ inside select
Pioneer products. Derived from Pioneer’s experience in developing
world-renown professional DJ products, MIXTRAX is implemented in a
variety of worldwide Pioneer car audio products.
Features:
MIXTRAX EZ: Pioneer applied its unique expertise to
keep car entertainment flowing smoothly without interruption, you can
experience the intimate euphoria of listening to music that sounds as if
a club DJ is there playing it.
Flashing Color: The receiver’s cool flashing color
function enhances the mood with a dynamic dance club-like lighting
effect. As MIXTRAX begins, light starts pulsing to the beat of music
livening up your in-car entertainment.
Sound: Sound level mode synchronizes with sound signal level.
The Technology:
Pioneer’s MIXTRAX technology transforms a consumer’s music library
into customizable tracks that can be processed by select Pioneer
products. Using Pioneer’s free MIXTRAX music management software, the
user’s entire music collection is analyzed and various musical
attributes including tempo and beats per minute (BPM) are identified.
The software then tags each song and creates an assortment of playlists
categorized in different genres and musical styles such as Beat, Chill,
and Thump. The advanced analysis of the software identifies the best
transition points of each song in the music library and seamlessly mixes
and blends the tracks together, much like a DJ performing live.
Additionally, the Mix Style can be selected between Active, Standard
and Simple, adjusting the intensity of the effects and transitions used,
and the duration of each track within the mix. The custom MIXTRAX
playlists can be transferred to a USB/SD memory device (not included)
and played through an assortment of Pioneer in-car Audio Video products.
Pioneer’s in-car Audio Video receiver takes advantage of its large LCD
touch-screen by animating the album art of the currently playing track
in time with the mix, creating a truly unique in-vehicle music
experience.
To easily and quickly enjoy nonstop mix of music, a simpler version
of the technology called MIXTRAX EZ is built-in to several Pioneer
in-dash products for both in-car CD receivers and in-car Audio Video
receivers. Featured in new in-car CD receivers, different types of
DJ-style transitions (Flanger, Echo and Crossfade) and different sound
effects (Backspin 1 and 2, Echo, Trans, Roll and Scratch) are
automatically added between songs for a nonstop, continuous listening
experience.
Mixtrax Benefit:
Pioneer presents the magic of MIXTRAX- delivering the Non-Stop MIX
experience at home or on the go with technology based on Pioneer’s
history of innovative professional DJ product development.
