This past month seemed to be all about software as Mixvibes, Serato, and more updates their current software applications or released entirely new ones. Much of the software news was related to iOS apps which are becoming increasingly popular. Along all of the iOS news, there was one big hardware announcement. Last month I shared my thoughts on the leaked images of the new Kontrol X1. Turns out that it is real and will start shipping soon. As a long time Kontrol X1 uer, I’m still reserving judgment until I see one in the wild. If you missed this news or any of our videos from the last month, you can find all of the month’s posts organized by category below.
