i belive it is a midicontroler only

You know if NuVJ of numark has a soundcard integrated?
 

Posted Tue 16 Jan 07 @ 6:30 pm
RECCOMENDED:
4.1 DirectX compatible soundcard (with front and rear separate outputs)

- so it looks like it does not have one.



not sure about nuVJ but in that case it should have audio and video outs too (not likely the case) ;-)

NUMARK TOTAL CONTROL USB / MIDI TABLETOP DJ SOFTWARE CONTROLLER



Hi res image http://www.skratchworx.com/images/namm2007/big/numark_totalcontrol.jpg

Control your favorite DJ software with traditional DJ hardware

Cumberland, RI – January 1, 2007. Numark, the world’s leading brand of professional DJ equipment and the driving force behind the High-Tech musical revolution, is proud to introduce their innovative Total Control DJ software controller.

Designed with Numark’s “users-first” approach and driven by extensive DJ and developer field testing, Total Control is the missing link for software DJs who yearn for the control they left behind when they switched from traditional mixer to the multi-processing power of laptop DJing. It is now easier than ever for DJs to maximize the potential of their digital music arsenal, trading in time-wasting mouse control for the traditional hardware to which they are accustomed. This fully class-compliant USB MIDI device is the ultimate for any performing computer DJ.

Total Control’s easy-to-use interface is similar to popular Numark crossfader and jog-wheel-based mixing stations like the iDJ² and NuVJ. Total Control’s 31 buttons, 20 knobs and 5 faders send MIDI data from the controller to your DJ software of choice, making the inconvenience of mouse or glide-pad software control a thing of the past. No assignment of software parameters for the Total Control is necessary – simply connect the controller to a computer with a USB cable, enable it on the user’s computer’s “config” menu, and watch the virtual controls respond to Total Control’s actions. It couldn’t be easier.

Considering Numark’s renowned track record in the world of DJ mixers and CD players, it’s a given that Total Control’s layout is optimized for ease of use. Any DJ will be up and mixing on the Total Control within minutes of connection to a Mac OSX or Windows XP computer. And with its USB connectivity, there are no drivers needed. Total Control is USB bus powered, so no adapter is needed, and it also features a Kensington security slot, for secure theft protection.

The Total Control comes packaged with Numark’s Cue Lite and Native Instruments’ Traktor LE software, with already-mapped controls and overlay “skins” for both applications. The functionality of both software packages allows PC and Mac users to play, scratch and mix both audio and video files simultaneously, opening up more mix possibilities than ever before.

But Total Control isn’t limited to a select few DJ software options – DJs can use this powerful controller with any DJ software application that supports MIDI. There is no need to relearn a new software application with the Total Control – users have total control of this unit’s powerful capabilities.

Numark CEO Jack O’Donnell says, “Numark’s Total Control is an exciting new controller that allows DJs to make the most of their favorite DJ software while still using time-tested mixing hardware. Numark is proud to help push DJ technology ahead, while still giving users all the tools they need to excel at their craft.”

Wow, is that the replacement of the bcd2000 that behringer had announced? I hope it doesn't freeze like bcd2000 hehehe :)
 

Posted Thu 18 Jan 07 @ 7:14 pm
DOnwload the PDF on Behringer web and zoom a little bit. Looks like some buttons now have different functions. and I hope microphone is now directly glued to output without using of computer. I planned to do this mod for bcd2000 but I sold it ... hope bcd3000 has this. as in case your pc dies you can at least say something like okay time for break. :-)

i'm gonna go on a shopping spree to test everything out...i'm going out on a limb and i'm going to pick up the new dmc2...the icue...and the bcd3000 and try to find one that works best....i currently use the dac-3 mixed with a gemini 19" rackmount mixer...i want to upgrade this mixer to the pioneer djm3000 because i need a 19" rackmount mixer with effects....would love some suggestions...i have the oddessey box with the sliding tray for laptop mount and 19" rackmount spaces for mixer and controller...would love to keep this setup as everything fits in a box...but i need some more functions to be creative with...i would spend the money to get the two icdx's with a numark dx9000 mixer but i want to avoid making my setup less portable

I think the Vestax VCI-100 wins;)




- TOUCH SENSITIVE PLATTER - and sensitivity is adjustable at back
- Crossfader curves can be set at back of controller
- LOTS of buttons and knobs to asign to software
- Looks cool, and has the right design
- METAL body, same size as a laptop, and thin but solid made.

can one run the vestax vci100 through VDJ?

Thanks,
Trevor
