Itch 2.0 is in Public Beta

haze... thats actually pretty sweet.

I've just started noodling. very stable so far. my favorite new feature is the sync/phase meter thingy. its a nice easy visual cue as to the relative sync of the track.
i have always preferred the night mode with fullscreen horizontal waveforms of Itch, so the other displays dont really do much for me. I could see how someone who rocks ssl would be super happy to have a similar layout, but for someone who has just been using itch, i have always thought the full screen, stacked waveforms are the perfect interface, and make traktors completely separated and parallel waveforms seem really useless (had to take a little shot there).
I am also feeling itchy for a button controller for the sampler. kind of a useless toy if i have to click a tiny button on my screen.
so far, it terms of real power and usefulness, it seems like a mild advance. so far.

I've noticed an improvement in the sync function as well. Lots of whining at the Serato forum because of the supposed drastic changes it underwent, but the tech guys there insist that users keep playing around with it, and that it's more advanced in this version. (They're right)

I'm totally in the same boat as you. Totally. Even a plugin for Traktor that would provide horizontal/colored waveforms like ITCH's would make me seriously consider making the jump, but until then, I'm perfectly content with ITCH. We're probably setting ourselves up for insults from beatmatching purists, but the end result is very clean transitions thanks to the horizontal stacking and a little bit of -/+ nudging.

I have a strong feeling that MIDI mapping will be available in future releases. The Bridge is pretty much a definite integration, and that will open up what we'll be able to do externally; so I wouldn't sweat it.

So I downloaded 2.0 beta to give it a look seeing that I will be getting the Twitch soon.

So I install it, load it up and realize that it only works properly with the hardware plugged in, which of course I don't have yet... dope...

Lol, me too. Except I knew that was going to happen from already having 1.7 installed (used it with my mate's VCI-300 to see what it was like).

Yeah I guess I'll just have to wait for my Twitch to arrive and try it out then..

Btw dude, Next week I'll be heading to your side of the world, Barcelona!

I'll be there on the 25th for the day. My ship is going to be spending the day there, I can't wait, its an awesome city man!

No way! Got plans? Want to grab a beer? PM me!

Edit: additionally, here's a demo & brief description of the easter egg within 2.0

I have yet to try this

I believe the Ipad can only control keystrokes. So you can access loops, cue points and most important the SP-6 sampler.
