AlphaTheta unveils new DJ effector and sampler, RMX-Ignite

AlphaTheta has unveiled the latest piece of music gear in its collection, the RMX-Ignite.

The DJ effector and performance sampler debuted at California’s annual NAMM music tech show this week, building on the legacy of the unit's popular 2012 predecessor, the RMX-1000.

The RMX-Ignite is described as a “next-gen effector” that allows you to “remix tracks freely and take your performances to new heights” by AlphaTheta, who shared a video of the unit in action on YouTube earlier today (January 15).

The effector boasts a 3-band FX section with separate Lever FX and Isolate FX, as well as a sampler section allowing you to layer samples. It also features four sample trigger pads, and 'Sampler Colour FX' to add “depth and movement”.

“Combining the 2 effect types opens diverse performance options and, with the sub-parameter knobs, you can refine the tone for richer, more expressive sounds,” reads a description.

The unit also includes PRO DJ LINK for “precise” beat-matching, and can be used by simply connecting a USB to your mixer, also with DJM-A9 & DJM-V10 compatibility.

The RMX-Ignite is available to buy now for £1,039 ($1,199). Find out more here, and watch a video of it in action below.
