Looks like it might feel like crap and the layout is a little odd but hey if it sends midi (not sure it does) then it could work quite well for Live. And coming from nu-mark it will be on the cheap side of things, good and bad.
For more info just go to numarks website

I'll pass - i don't like Numark, the layout is bad as you say, and looks like it's built with toy-like toughness. Drop that baby on the floor, say byebye.

Looks like a pile of poop. If you want a cheap controller buy a used DM2.

I had a go with MixMeister fusion (which I assume this controller is designed for) and I have to say "WTF were numark thinking making a DJ software without a crossfader?"
I'm sorry, it just doesn't make sense to me. I know not everyone wants one, "crossfaders are only for scratching", etc - but I play techno and never scratch and I love having a crossfader.
Would have been very easy to implement as well.
Happily I use Traktor and my faderfox dj2, or Live and all 3 of my foxes to DJ, but WTF????
As it stands, I could use this piece of shit software to make mixtapes, but that's about all.

Hehe... Y'know, I've just grown up with using my crossfader (and upfaders) to mix my records and I want that in a DJ software as well.

The korg nanos. I just got the nano key. It feels cheap and I've been kinda rough with it. The keys feel like my macbook keys. But I'm not afraid to break it cause they're cheap as chips. I think it's excellent for travel.

ok so it's shitty. Thought some broke kid might find it interesting. x faders are great for all kinds of other mixing. Has anyone seen a techno dj cut? Come on.
