Featuring a performance of a hybrid dubstep treatment of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” Numark has a new video out for the NV, its intelligent controller for Serato DJ.
The Numark NV, which is being released October 1, features two 4.3-inch, high-resolution full color screens. The controller’s backlit performance screens provide “vivid, real-time visualization” of Serato DJ, complete with spinning Virtual Decks, effects (FX), Cue Points, waveforms and more.
Supporting four decks of control, its screens also provide song library navigation and detailed waveforms respective to each deck. These features allow the performer to manage set elements with the source laptop closed or out of sight without sacrificing functionality.

The interesting thing about this video is to watch how few controls he actually uses for this performance. It’s a sign that the control surface is over-engineered for the task.
It looks like the ‘performance’ and the ‘musical-output’ are not related at all.
Allmost like he’s miming.
hip hop dj’s are going to want these to be turned sideways. jussayin.
and who think that this screaming noises is beautiful ? or pleasant or musically?
This music is a mess and it sounds horrible. Why couldn’t they have a reputable DJ doing something on here instead of this clown. Numark has clearly lost its relevance as a product developer……shame…..
That style of mixing is so generic, boring and uninspiring. This product just encourages it.
