The NS7 has returned! It has found its way into the modern era. The NS7 was one of the first full-size DJ MIDI controllers to match the feel of real turntables. It did so quite successfully, causing many to make the transition. In this modern day and age, however, it is important to move with the times and with new available technology. Numark think so too, and for that reason they have updated the NS7. Say hello to the NS7 II!Technology of the NS7 IIThe NS7 II has retained most of the functionality, the layout and the high quality of its predecessor, but is equipped with a number of new features. The 8 multi-colour RGB pads, which can be used to trigger samples, take a central position. These pads are supplied by Akai (who are also a member of the inMusic group), so they feature the famous MPC quality. A new four-channel mixer has been integrated into the NS7 II, and a built-in 24-bit audio interface provides optimal sound quality. One thing that Numark have not changed, luckily, are the rotating, 7-inch platters. The grooved top layer of the artificial vinyl records feels familiar and solid. Combined with the MPC-style RGB pads, they allow for highly creative DJ sets!Other characteristics of the NS7 IIThe NS7 II comes with an accessory, full-fledged Serato DJ package, which enables you to really make the most of the controller. All channels and the master are equipped with an elaborate VU meter. Both the construction and the size of the controller remain unchanged. This new and improved edition of the NS7 is as impressive as it ever was. Its sizeable body gives it a professional look and the conveniently placed large controls, jog wheels and pads allow you to work very accurately. Five hot cues per deck and a low/high pass filter per channel enable you to work creatively, as does the elaborate effects module that features endless rotaries and 3 parameters per effect. Four-deck support allows you to choose between deck 1/3 and 2/4.
