Mix digital files with the feel of vinyl decks thanks to this Numark DJ controller -- built to map seamlessly with the included Serato ITCH software.

Take control of your digital audio with the tactile and powerful Numark NS7FX DJ Controller. It's an all-in-one controller and interface that maps seamlessly with Serato ITCH software (included) for natural, intuitive control over digital media.

Vinyl Platters

Numark designed their NS7FX DJ Controller to follow the layout and logic of the classic dual-deck and mixer setup equipped with seven-inch motorized control platters; each with real, independently moving vinyl surfaces. Mixing, cueing, beat-matching, pitching, and scratching are all second-nature on the NS7FX, because the vinyl disc moves across the rotating platter base the same way an LP would on a direct-drive turntable. Bottom line, the Numark NS7FX feels like a traditional vinyl DJ setup, but has the flexibility and power of digital audio.

Premium Mixer and Audio Interface Included

Every component on the Numark NS7FX DJ Controller is premium, from the faders to the rugged, all-metal chassis. For the serious turntablist, the crossfader is every bit as essential as the turntable, and the NS7's mixer features a replaceable, adjustable CP-PRO crossfader and D-TYPE line faders for no-compromise performance. The final piece in the puzzle is the NS7FX's high-resolution audio interface. The NS7FX incorporates audiophile-grade internal circuitry and 24-bit digital-to-analog converters for crisp highs, creamy mids, and punchy bass.

One-To-One Serato Integration

While Serato LIVE revolutionized the laptop DJ read more world with its rock-solid timecode vinyl control, ITCH is the non-timecode controller-only version. Paired with the Numark NS7FX, it's the most direct control possible over Serato; no separate timecode interface required. Not requiring timecode discs or needles means less parts needing replacement. Because Numark developed the NS7 and NS7FX in conjunction with Serato, the controller presents a truly mouse-less DJing experience. Every slider, button and rotary encoder on the NS7FX (including sampling and looping control) is mapped to the corresponding controls in Serato, and dual LCD screens provide important feedback like track info, so DJs can browse through their audio library without even looking up at the computer screen. The "FX" in the NS7FX model name designates an entire bank of controls dedicated to Serato ITCH's awesome audio-manipulating effects, which are all easily time-synched with the foolproof beat-detection provided by the Serato software.

With total Serato ITCH control, premium components, audiophile sound, and the feel that only real vinyl and motorized platters can deliver, the Numark NS7FX DJ Controller will take any DJs performance to the next level.

Numark NS7FX DJ Controller with NSFX FX

Designed by Numark in collaboration with Serato, NS7FX represents the pinnacle of digital DJ performance. NS7FX combines a premium mixer with two motorized, adjustable-torque turntables, real vinyl, and a professional audio interface to deliver a complete performance solution that will satisfy the most hardcore turntablist. NS7FX also includes powerful effects controls for hands-on manipulation of the wide range of effects built into the included Serato ITCH software.

Audio Quality

We took extraordinary care in selecting the components of the audio signal chain. NS7FX 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 with containing only one audiophile-grade bipolar capacitor. This optimized design maximizes phase coherence, ensuring that audio is tight and punchy.

Serato Itch Software

Serato ITCH is already familiar if you use Scratch LIVE. The 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, NS7FX and your computer! Since ITCH makes timecode a thing of the past, you won't need to worry about needles skipping or vinyl wearing out. You can load your Scratch LIVE crates, loops, presets, and cue points seamlessly in ITCH. NS7FX 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.

ITCH handles audio processing and mixing including channel fading, EQ, crossfading and track trim are processed for outstanding control and management of your tracks, ease of recording your set, clip-proof gain management, and BPM calculation using the power of your computer's processor.

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 three-range pitch control: +/-8%, +/-16%, and +/-50% with Key Lock for manipulation of pitch and tempo independently.

ITCH 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.

The History function in ITCH keeps a comprehensive record of every track played and exports sessions from your history to 'txt', 'csv', or 'm3u'. ITCH also has a Loop Roll function that provides a looping effect where the playhead jumps back to normal time when you release the loop. Built-in key support ensures that ITCH reads key tags from MP3 files and displays them in the 'key' column in your library.

"Numark Ns7FX "

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
For anyone that is looking for a DJ setup this is one to choose! For the money and the way this thing is built you cannot pass out on this machine! I'm going for my third system only because I sold my last systems with intentions to purchase the Rane 62 and some Technics. I then realized Going that route would cost me over $3000 just for the mixer and platters. Not including needles and what not. I've made my decision and I'm going back with the NS7. WHY?! Here are a few pointers I will point out. When I'm at a gig and I'm on stage. Usually I'm pounding out LOUD MUSIC. With needles you get distortion, I'm usually jumping up and down to hype up the crowd and bouncing needles are not supposed to jump around too! Why? Because your music will cut off! With the Ns7 you will not get any type of cut out, when your scratching the ns7 is very very touchy, there isnt any lag! Your movement with your hands is what tweeks out in the speakers! The effects bar is insane! ECHO is what I use most! With the front inputs I can have a singer come up and I can add echo or whatever effect I want to help to singer sound awesome! The Rca's inputs help with people who want to play a song off their phone if I dont have that one particular song they want played. I've spoken with top Dj's and they say why arent you spinning with the rane 62 or whatever, I said because everything is built into one piece and I can do just as much as you guys can, if not. MORE! If you are a just getting into Mixing music read more this is what you want to start with and if not that itll be your only purchase of a midi controller. The sound out of this thing is amazing! Although I accidently rated it 4.5 its supposed to be 5 stars! Inputs outputs are very helpful! The xlr outputs can go right into amps and bam your in session!

Musical Background:
I've playing music for over 10 years and Dj'd for 2 years.

Musical Style:
Rock, Hip Hop, RnB, Electro, Remixs, Top 40
