Cortex, the new high-end music equipment company that specializes in bringing advanced technology to the DJ community, announced its inception at the Winter NAMM tradeshow in Anaheim, California. Cortex put its stake in the ground with the introduction of the HDC and HDTT digital music controllers, three new devices for the DJ market that will allow DJs and electronic musicians to manipulate audio files from any external USB compatible device, such as an iPod, external hard drive, CD-R drive, DVD-R drive or a USB memory key.
“Our mission at Cortex is to usher in new technology that will revolutionize the way DJs store, transport, and play their digital music,” said Jeff Handis, Director of Sales and Marketing for Cortex. “By recognizing the current need for a more efficient and versatile medium, our products will serve to transform today’s DJ into tomorrow’s DJ.”
The introductory line of Cortex products is composed of three control devices for digital music formats including MP3, WAV, CD-Audio and DVD-ROM. In addition, each unit is equipped with ultra-precise pitch resolution, front and rear USB ports with device selection menu and multifunction navigation keys. The HDTT-02 will also feature a touch sensitive S-Control (Scratch Control) Platter, giving DJs complete control over their digital files.
