Dual platter controls, integrated laptop stand, more than 100 controls, and Serato ITCH.
Designed by Numark in collaboration with Serato, the NS7 console represents the pinnacle of DJ performance
control. NS7 combines an all-metal chassis with adjustable torque, motorized, aluminum turntable platters, vinyl, and a professional
audio interface to deliver a complete DJ performance solution that will satisfy even the most hardcore turntablist.
A
full complement of premium faders, knobs, buttons, and Numark's Strip Search virtual-needle-drop control integrates seamlessly
with the included Serato ITCH software. The Numark NS7 delivers hands-on control of every aspect of Serato ITCH and sends
data to the software more than 10 times faster than standard MIDI resolution, resulting in a rock-solid hardware/software
DJ system that works with Mac or PC and feels as good as it looks. Because it was designed for ITCH, NS7 setup time is the
bare minimum. No tweaking, no mapping; just plug and perform.
Serato ITCH is completely compatible with Serato Scratch
LIVE crates, loops, and cue points, so the Scratch Live DJ can step up to the Numark NS7 without missing a beat.
Perfect
Feel
Forget your experiences with other controllers. NS7 has 2 - 7" motorized, high-torque aluminum turntable platters. The turntable
controls feature modern and classic settings that alter the feel to model the feel you prefer. 7", legit vinyl records with
45rpm adapters sit on real slipmats. There's no simulation here—the NS7 turntable controller is the real deal.
Solid,
rugged, rubberized buttons and knobs compliment a high precision, replaceable CP-PRO crossfader and D-TYPE line faders for
an unquestionably high-quality feel. Numark selected the CP-PRO digital-VCA crossfader because it is outstandingly durable
with low wear for a long life. It has a solid feel that is smooth and rigid. High-performance, D-Type digital-VCA line faders
were selected for their rugged, long-life performance. Like the crossfader, the line faders are replaceable. The crossfader
offers contour adjust and reverse adjustment, enabling you to customize its operation.
System Simplicity
Forget the mouse. Forget the keyboard. Numark NS7 renders ITCH software perfectly simple to operate, with its click knob and
large, backlit buttons navigating though your music library. You'll spend less time looking at the screen and more time enjoying
performing thanks to the visual feedback you get from NS7's more-than 100 LEDs and more-than 100 hands-on controls.
A
single USB cable between NS7 and your Mac or PC is all you need to send audio and data back and forth. The Numark NS7 has
onboard audio outputs so it's the only piece of gear you need to connect to the PA system or powered speakers.
NS7
outputs 24-bit, 44.1 kHz digital audio to the sound system on XLRs and RCAs. The front panel contains mic input, RCA line
input, and both 1/4" and 1/8" headphone outputs with volume control. It also comes with an integrated laptop stand that supplies
safe, secure mounting for your laptop. This allows you to use an ultra-small space because NS7 elevates your laptop off the
table.
Precision Control
NS7 sends control information over USB at more than 10 times the standard MIDI rate. This innovative communication technique
yields extremely high-precision, low-latency control.
There's nothing like dropping the needle on a record for quickly
locating a point in the track. Numark took that idea and developed their own modern take on it with Strip Search, the unique
virtual-needle-drop touch strip. You can locate a point instantly within the track using the on-screen waveform and Strip
Search.
5 hot-cue-assign buttons on each deck digitally mark your cues on the track. These marker points are recallable
in ITCH and Scratch LIVE, and you can load Scratch LIVE cue points in ITCH.
Numark developed an extensive Serato-style
loop section on each deck for creative remix capabilities. You can choose between manual and auto-loop functions and an automatic
BPM analyzer further assists loop makers. Creating automatic smart loops of any measure length is a breeze, and you can mutilate
and modify to your heart's content with a variety of controls such as Doubling, Halving, Shift, and manual controls. Multiple
loop banks per deck make NS7 a great choice for scratch and club DJs alike.
Beat matching is straight ahead with 100mm,
smooth, stiff pitch sliders and plus and minus buttons, by popular request, for bending. There's a zero-point LED, so it's
easy to know when you're in the middle.
Audio quality
We took extraordinary care in selecting the components of the audio signal chain. NS7 contains a host of professional audio
connectors and a multichannel, 24-bit USB digital-audio interface. The high-definition, post-mix analog audio output features
a minimized circuit path containing only one audiophile-grade bipolar capacitor. This optimized design maximizes phase coherence,
ensuring that audio is tight and punchy.
Professional Appearance
NS7's dual decks flank the mixer section. Its recognizable, professional appearance is supported by clean design in matte
and glossy black. The entire unit is housed in a heavy-gauge, industrial-strength metal casing that is ready for the torture
of travel.
Serato Itch Software
Serato ITCH is already familiar if you use Scratch LIVE. The new program builds on Scratch LIVE's popularity and adds some
key features. ITCH doesn't require a timecode interface, so the system can be as simple as, say, NS7 and your computer. Since
ITCH makes timecode a thing of the past, you won't need to worry about needless skipping or vinyl wearing out. You can load
your Scratch LIVE crates, loops, presets, and cue points seamlessly in ITCH. The NS7 turntable controller also works with
most other MIDI DJ software and supports iTunes.
ITCH is a high-performance portable music system with internal mixing
and platter-style playback control. Because it is designed specifically for use with hardware control, ITCH has a clean information
display.
Another benefit of ITCH is that it handles all audio processing and mixing duties, including channel fading,
EQ, and crossfading. Track trim are processed for outstanding control and management of your tracks making recording your
set easier. There's also clip-proof gain management and BPM calculation using the power of your computer's processor.
It
also has library management tools for backup and restoring your music. Advanced input and mix recording capabilities include
recording your mix or just the aux input for sampling. The software supports AIFF, WAV, MP3, and AAC audio files.
Serato's
unique color waveforms provide an easy identification of sound and changes in the track. ITCH can set and store cue-points.
It offers 3-range pitch control: ±8%, ±16%, and ±50% with Key Lock for manipulation of pitch and tempo
independently.
