A new audio mixing console gives children the chance to maketheir own brand of music. This family of interactive learning toys includes WavDJ, a colorful, audio-visual plaything with a dedicated link to the Internet. It takes its cue from real-life disc jockeys and music producers by encouraging home-audio production on a sophisticated but affordable multi-media learning console. “WavDJ enables children to experiment with their musical creativity by becoming a radio DJ, composer, singer and producer,” said Steve Jackson, executive vice president of Oregon Scientific. The product takes its name from “.wav”files, the existing designation for PC sound files. Productions created by children on WavDJ can be e-mailed to family and friendsin this file format. The console links to a home PC and can connect with external CD and MP3players to import music samples and sound effects. There’s even a dedicated Web site— www.wavDJ. com—where budding music producers can post their compositions for others to hear.
