Numark Total Control DJ Software Controller Kicks Some Butt
DJ gear is blowing up again at this year’s NAMM. Everyone seems to want to ride the bandwagon of DJs moving to software. One of cool new products I’ve seen so far is the Numark Total Control. It’s a USB tabletop controller that’s automatically set up to work with Numark’s Cue software and Native Instruments Traktor (it also comes with “lite” versions of each program). In addition, you can also set it to work with any program with a MIDI learn capactiy. Total control looks a bit like a 2-channel DJ mixer with jog wheels; it’s got all the channel and pitch bend faders you need, as well as knobs for knobs for EQ and other functions. Numark quoted a MAP of $249 for the Total Control, to be released in April.

This is the holy grail for digital DJ’s!
I have been using Virtual DJ (Numark CUE is their branded version of VDJ) for 2 years now and although it is a fantastic piece of software, the lack of hands on control us DJ’s are used to was a big shortcoming. Numark have really embraced the future with their development of this controller, and with a price point of $249, I think this will really make DJing accessable to the masses.
Viva the digital DJ revolution!!
(As i have been nice Numark, can you send me one free? lol)
