Tonium Pacemaker Brings Digital Spins to Pocket Size

We're not DJs - although we've always nursed a secret desire to be, somewhere on the level below being rock stars - so we can't tell you exactly how the Tonium Pacemaker works. What we can tell you is that the Pacemaker is a portable DJing device with a USB input, 120 GB hard drive, and pretty much every DJ feature we could think you'd want, from multiple line outputs and a crossfader to two different channels (each with their own cue and pause functions), an EQ, and a few different sound effects functions. Much like the iPod, the Pacemaker works on a tactile wheel feature, so changing settings or adjusting tracks happens with a sliding finger motion that makes you look like you're using something out of The Matrix.

The only point of frustration we could see with this pretty sweet is device is the screen layout, which mimics what you're doing on the touchpad and provides some sort of visual navigation so you can find your files quickly. Of course, that might be because we don't understand how the Pacemaker works - but then again, this guy in this online video definitely does. Video demo after the jump.
