Numark NUVJ hits the market!

(PRODUCT=91)

Just had the new NUVJ software and hardware from Numark / Arkaos!



I have had a quick play with it at the shows but as normal when you plug it and install for the first time on your own computer it's the first real test.



Hardware:



The unit runs using the power supply from the usb and has the same sort of feeling as the new VCI-100 from vestax (shame you it doesn't double as a straight MIDI controller). The build of the unit should give us some idea of what to expect from the Numark Total Control (which is Due in June at an expected retail of around £250); the box is plastic and feels similar to the BCD-2000 from behringer the general feel is solid enough with the faders and buttons all feeling good.



The Install is straight forward the unit when plugged in shows up as a number of devices USB Audio Device.The unit runs on PC and MAC.

The unit powers up on connection and fully lights up on completion of the installation the unit comes with a number of Video Loops. The Effects on the unit are varied and flexible and this would make a good source material for any video jock or a simple all in one unit for a beginner.



Numark have launched a dedicated site for VJ's www.nuvj.com.
