Dear friends and Cross DJ users,
We are proud to announce the latest version of Cross, Cross 3.0.0.

Video is a fantastic way to make a DJ set more exciting. Cross 3 can be used to simply playback video clips or go more experimental. DJs can choose their level of complexity, take control of the video mixing or let the software do it automatically ­ so that it follows the music.
● 2 full­featured audio/video players
● Large video output bar
● Mixer and effects can control only video, only audio or both at the same time
● HD external output from the computer’s display port
● 35 video transitions and 18 video effects
● Video output recording

Cross allows you to put up a proper show with synced visuals... with the flexibility of live selection that DJs love. It’s easy: prepare a few video clips, and play them on top of all your tracks.
● Load audio and video separately
● Sync the BPM of the video to the audio
● Save audio/video combos in one click

For the first time in a DJ software, Cross gives you two 4­pad video samplers:
● Easily add VJ loops to your mix
● Hot video sampling: sample any part of the video playing in the deck
● Edit video content straight into Cross with the sampler: no need for third party software
● Save your video sample banks
Put your own content in Cross & record your set NEW
● Live webcam input: display live footage from the party
● Titler: add text or images to the output
● Record video mixes

Cross 3 introduces the long awaited Frequency colored waveform feature. We’ve redesigned the waveform to display low, mid and high frequencies. The track’s structure and energy becomes much more understandable. It’s like seeing inside the sound.

New EQs and Apple Lossless + WMA support NEW
● New EQ preset, modeled on the classic DJM series: turn your controller into a club standard mixer
● Support for Apple Lossless & WMA formats
Cross, a more attractive package than ever
● Advanced video playback and video sampling
● Rekordbox sync: allows every DJs to use his Cross collection on club standard CDJs
● Open product: works with any hardware and any software

Musically yours,
Your MixVibes Team.
