Features & SpecsĪs far as software control goes, the Numark NV is highly specified, delivering the full Serato DJ experience. The 4.3in screens are something Numark will have had to get exactly right we’re looking forward to testing a unit to find out if the company has. However, as long as they are as smooth in use as those of your average laptop, and of controllers like the Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus, they ought to be up to the job. Also, even if you’re running Serato’s Video plugin, they can’t be used to show the videos you’re DJing with, which – while we’re told it would have been a big technical challenge – is definitely an opportunity missed. Here is where you’ll also find the deck selector button, and items directly related to the track/waveform things like BPM tap, pitch range/keylock and the beatgrid controls for on-the-fly beatgrid correction.įrom what we’ve seen the screens appear to be bright and they’re full colour, but they aren’t touchscreen. Those screens in full…Ī raised, sloped 4.3in backlit screen for each deck shows waveform information including cue points, FX settings, library and Serato’s rotating platters, switchable using the panel, view and library buttons and knobs located to the left and right of each screen. All waveform, library and other important info is available to you right there on the Numark NV’s colour screens, removing one of the big barriers between crowd and DJ – at least in the eyes of some.

Indeed, as long as you can set it up to remain running with the lid closed (there are utilities that can help with this for Mac, for instance), you can tuck it out of the way fully folded. With the US$699 Numark NV (and unlike an earlier take on this idea, the Stanton SCS.4DJ), you still need your laptop plugged in, but you can have it totally out of sight. Numark has today announced the Numark NV for Serato DJ, the first of what we’ve long been predicting will be the next big wave of digital DJ controllers: Devices with high-resolution colour displays built in, to show all critical information and potentially leave the digital DJ free to play without ever having to look at a separate laptop screen again. The latest DJ controller from Numark has one big difference: Two high-resolution full colour screens displaying vital information direct from the software (Serato DJ), meaning the actual laptop can be tucked out of sight, even closed, in use.
