Numark introduced V7, its new motorized turntable software controller, at the 2010 NAMM Show.
Description:
V7 is based around the adjustable torque, motorized-platter design from Numark’s NS7 and delivers a host of professional features including real vinyl and a slipmat that analog turntablists will love, ultra-precise turntable control, effects controls, mouse-less library navigation, and Strip Search virtual-needle drop.
V7’s link function enables DJs to combine one or two V7s with their favorite mixer and their Mac or PC for a completely customizable, totally seamless performance environment.
V7 contains a full compliment of effects controls, which enables DJs to access the same effects as in Numark’s NSFX. V7 includes a professional 24-bit audio interface that supports dual decks. It is outfitted with premium faders, knobs and buttons including controls for selecting tracks and blending audio effects in the included Serato ITCH software.
This motorized turntable controller employs the technology pioneered by Numark in NS7, in which turntable and control information in exchanged at more than ten times standard MIDI resolution. This massive data stream creates the rock-solid, virtually latency-free control for which DJs worldwide have hailed NS7. Because V7’s communication is based upon MIDI, it is MIDI compatible, and therefore DJs can use it with a variety of MIDI software.
V7’s powerful, direct-drive turntable motor is derived from Numark’s popular TTX professional turntable. V7 delivers 12-inch-platter feel on a more-manageable seven-inch platter with high-torque “modern” and low-torque “classic” feel settings.
V7 is the first Serato ITCH controller that DJs can use standalone. Numark’s exclusive Strip Search virtual needle-drop control and complete effects controls for audio manipulation empower DJs’ creativity, and V7’s rugged, all-metal construction with premium knobs and buttons delivers the look and feel that professionals demand.
V7 will be available from musical instrument and DJ retailers in January 2010. Pricing is TBA.
