Ik wilde net de deur uit lopen om naar mijn werk te gaan krijg ik een mail met daarin al het nieuws van Numark. Naja al het nieuws... het meeste is vorig jaar al op de Messe onder de aandacht gebracht maar er stonden wel een paar nieuwe dingen tussen. Alle interessante nieuwe producten staan er nu dus op, de rest vul ik vanavond aan als ik thuis ben.

Numark Total Controll _{(alle images zijn klikbaar)}
Designed with Numark’s “users-first” approach and driven by extensive DJ and developer field testing, Total Control is the missing link for software DJs who yearn for the control they left behind when they switched from traditional mixer to the multi-processing power of laptop DJing. It is now easier than ever for DJs to maximize the potential of their digital music arsenal, trading in time-wasting mouse control for the traditional hardware to which they are accustomed. This fully class-compliant USB MIDI device is the ultimate for any performing computer DJ.

Total Control’s easy-to-use interface is similar to popular Numark crossfader and jog-wheel-based mixing stations like the iDJ² and NuVJ. Total Control’s 31 buttons, 20 knobs and 5 faders send MIDI data from the controller to your DJ software of choice, making the inconvenience of mouse or glide-pad software control a thing of the past. No assignment of software parameters for the Total Control is necessary – simply connect the controller to a computer with a USB cable, enable it on the user’s computer’s “config” menu, and watch the virtual controls respond to Total Control’s actions. It couldn’t be easier.

Considering Numark’s renowned track record in the world of DJ mixers and CD players, it’s a given that Total Control’s layout is optimized for ease of use. Any DJ will be up and mixing on the Total Control within minutes of connection to a Mac OSX or Windows XP computer. And with its USB connectivity, there are no drivers needed. Total Control is USB bus powered, so no adapter is needed, and it also features a Kensington security slot, for secure theft protection.

The Total Control comes packaged with Numark’s Cue Lite and Native Instruments’ Traktor LE software, with already-mapped controls and overlay “skins” for both applications. The functionality of both software packages allows PC and Mac users to play, scratch and mix both audio and video files simultaneously, opening up more mix possibilities than ever before.

But Total Control isn’t limited to a select few DJ software options – DJs can use this powerful controller with any DJ software application that supports MIDI. There is no need to relearn a new software application with the Total Control – users have total control of this unit’s powerful capabilities.

Numark CEO Jack O’Donnell says, “Numark’s Total Control is an exciting new controller that allows DJs to make the most of their favorite DJ software while still using time-tested mixing hardware. Numark is proud to help push DJ technology ahead, while still giving users all the tools they need to excel at their craft.”

Numark DMC2
The new DMC2 is Numark’s top-of-the-line professional DJ software controller, featuring a ruggedly-constructed metal frame that can be used in a 3U rack-mount setting or as a tabletop unit. With a form factor based on DJ-approved Numark dual scratch-wheel-controlled CD players such as the CDN95 and CDN35, it allows mobile DJs who are comfortable with rack consoles to quickly and easily add the power and versatility of software-based mixing to their arsenal.

The DMC2 is the ultimate hardware choice for any DJ who wants to stay ahead of the competition without a huge learning curve. No assignment of software parameters for the DMC2 is necessary – simply connect the controller to a laptop with a USB cable, enable it in the software’s “config” menu, and watch the virtual controls respond to the DMC2’s actions. It couldn’t be easier. The DMC2’s high-speed HID USB 2.0 interface is optimized for the included Numark CUE Lite software, which allows users to mix and scratch audio and video files (including CD+G for karaoke) interchangeably.

Since CUE and other programs take advantage of digital storage and multi-processing muscle while emulating traditional mixing platform interfaces, the DMC2 completes the circle, taking control back from inconvenient mouse or touch-pad mixing. DJs that have used dual consoles for years won’t miss a step as they use the DMC2 to make the jump into the software-DJ age.

Offering forward-thinking USB 2.0 compatibility, the DMC2 is a controller that will grow with DJs as they expand their hardware and software options. And with important features like true instant start, one-button song synchronization, an automix button for quick mixes, a wide range of looping and cueing options, fader buttons that allow automatic crossfading, Key Lock and more, the DMC2 gives you the technical options you need to maximize your mixes.

With a bright, backlit display, DJs can easily see information for the songs they are controlling, with song title, BPM and time displays. All control knobs and buttons are rubberized, illuminated and easy to manipulate.

“Numark has always excelled in providing professional DJs with the tools they need to succeed, and the DMC2 is a perfect example of this,” states Numark CEO Jack O’Donnell. “It’s important not to lose a step when upgrading to a new DJ technology, and the DMC2 makes this possible by giving DJs the mixing power of the future, but letting them control it with hardware they already know.”

Numark DJio
Numark’s new DJ-io is a Windows and Mac-compatible USB 2.0 (or USB 1.1 single channel operation) audio output interface which features 24-bit audio and sample rates of 44.1 and 88.2 kHz. Designed with the on-the-go software DJ and producer in mind, the DJ-io is compact and rugged enough to live in your gig bag, but powerful enough to provide solutions for a wide range of audio I/O needs.

The DJ-io gives software-based DJs, performers and producers a range of options for outputting their final audio, whether in the form of a live mix or a just-completed new track. DJs and producers pass audio from their software-based application of choice through a traditional mixer (for multi-channel mixing) and output to a pair of stereo RCA connections, via a forward-thinking USB 2.0 connection.

The DJ-io features ultra low latency audio (via ASIO drivers), with 2 independent RCA stereo outputs, a mic input with adjustable gain on stereo pair #1 and a ¼” stereo headphone output on stereo pair #2. The DJ-io is USB bus powered and also operates with 9V DC external power supply (sold separately).

“The DJ-io gives high-quality audio options to users at a great price,” states Numark CEO Jack O’Donnell. “Numark understands the needs of the new generation of software-based DJs and producers, and works hard to give these users products like the DJ-io. Our goal is to help them meet their audio needs, no matter what the situation.”
