Numark, the world’s leading manufacturer of DJ technology, introduces the NS6 DJ controller for Serato ITCH. NS6 is a 4-channel Digital DJ controller with complete built in mixer and 4 decks of software control. This easy to use dual-platter system has been designed in collaboration with Serato to deliver powerful breakthrough performance to a broad range of DJs. NS6 borrows from the popular designs of Numark’s award-winning NS7FX and V7 controllers and delivers substantial new features including the most responsive, high-resolution touch-activated platters ever produced in a DJ product. The wheels on NS6 deliver 3600 ticks of resolution per rotation; when combined with NS6’s automatically adjusted platter sensitivity the result is ultra-precise, high definition turntable control.

Pioneer introduces 2 new controllers: the DDJ-T1, which will offer Pioneer operability to users of TRAKTOR DJ software, while the DDJ-S1 does the same for Serato ITCH. A perfect integration of each software’s functionality and their leading-edge hardware, the Pioneer DJ Controllers offer the same operability and layout as their pro-DJ equipment – whilst enabling DJs to play music files from the computer.

Phil Morse from Digital DJ Tips has managed to get a picture of the to-be-announced Numark NS6 4 channel DJ Controller. As expected this controller will probably be a strong competitor to the other dynamic duo, the Native Instruments S4 Kontrol and the recently released Denon DJ DN-MC6000.

We almost missed it but next to the new DJX900USB mixer, Behringer unveiled the new NOX Series DJ mixers on their website, just days before the NAMM Show starts. BEHRINGER NOX Series DJ Mixers are built to connect directly to your computer and take your music straight into the digital realm. In an instant, these mixers allow you to record and play any digital music file with your PC or Mac computer without the need for any special drivers! Plus they’ve included the infinium “contact-free” VCA Crossfader, the legendary XENYX mic and premium-grade phono preamps, and beat-syncable FX for years of flawless performance.

As far as we know it is a first. Instead of the other way round, Bleep!BOX is now available as a VST plugin. Originally released as an app for iPhone and iPad, this drum synth is coming to your desktop (PC and MAC). Now you can take presets you’ve made on your iPhone or iPad and load them up in your host sequencer of choice on your Mac or PC with full access to all parameters.
