Expanding the possibilities when performing with turntables

AlphaTheta’s DJ software, rekordbox for Mac/Windows, now supports HID mode for the wireless turntable controller Phase.

Phase detects the rotation of a turntable and wirelessly sends highly accurate control signals to DJ software. With support for Phase HID mode, you can now use Phase Essential and Phase Pro^*1 with rekordbox^*2 by simply connecting the Phase Receiver to a PC/Mac via USB. The easy, flexible setup process, combined with low-latency stable control and seamless Phase integration with rekordbox – which includes battery level display – gives you greater freedom when performing with turntables.

Cédric Vergé, co-founder of Phase, said: “Working with the rekordbox team on this project felt natural from day one. The collaboration was really smooth, and the result speaks for itself. Phase in HID mode with rekordbox exceeded our own expectations in terms of precision and feel. We can’t wait to see DJs, both Phase Essential users and those who will soon get their hands on Phase Pro, push it to its limits.”

AlphaTheta will continue collaborating with partners to support the sustainable development of DJ culture and foster a more open industry environment while expanding the creative possibilities for DJs.

^*1 Phase Pro is currently under development and is scheduled for release around this summer. Please visit the official Phase website for further details.
^*2 Phase can be used with the rekordbox Free plan when using compatible hardware that unlocks DVS control. If you don’t own compatible hardware with DVS control hardware unlock, you’ll need a rekordbox Core, Creative, or Professional plan subscription. See a list of compatible hardware.
