Apple has announced a new range of MacBook Pro computers with a focus on high power and features for creative professionals. The laptops come in two sizes – 14-inch and 16-inch – and, to the joy of many music makers, have returned some of the much-missed ports to the computers. MagSafe charging has returned as well as a physical HDMI output and – a heavily requested – SD card slot on the side for expanding storage space and also for transferring media quickly.

Urbanliernert have made it easier for DJ/producers to get the most of the new MacBook Pro Touch Bar with their new MIDI Touch Bar application.

When Apple introduced the Touch Bar on the new range of MacBook Pro’s there were quite a few grumbles about how the new technology was going to work, especially among producers and DJs.

Despite this, Logic Pro X and Algoriddim's djay Pro have shown how invaluable the Touch Bar can be when used in a working music environment, which has now lead to a new company creating the MIDI controller plug-in for the new Mac Book Pro.
