MixEmergency 1.4 arrives just in time for Christmas, but the most exciting part of its release is what isn't in the application - our new plug-ins!
MixEmergency now supports video effect and transition plug-ins, and over the coming weeks Inklen will feature a "Plug-in of the Week!". Every week there will be a new effect or transition plug-in and users will have the freedom to choose which plug-ins they wish to install. All plug-ins take advantage of the same high-performance graphics technologies that power MixEmergency.
To start users off there are four plug-ins included with the download of the MixEmergency 1.4 update. New plug-ins will be released weekly at http://www.inklen.com/
For DJs who want more control over their effects and transitions there are now effect and transition presets in MixEmergency 1.4. These presets can be triggered at the click of a button, and, as with almost all of MixEmergency's controls, are MIDI assignable for quick and convenient recall of user's favourite effects and transitions.
