yup, NS7 via keyboard only

got to write that in my review ;)
cheerz

Numark has requested Serato make this feature available in the hardware as well. We expect a future release of Itch will accomodate.

Cool, good to know.

Can we take a poll on which button presses will be most ergonomic?

maybe wait till it's in beta and then suggest a change if nessesary?
only reason i say that is i have seen some of the suggestions by some of the people on this board and well.... some are just crazy :)

... just to save some readers steps on looking this up:



-KLH

BTW, Loop Roll is only on ITCH v1.1 (not on v1.0.5).

-KLH

I dont know why builders of Hardware like the NS7, which is really not peanuts cheap, do not impement a few spare buttons for upcoming features/updates. I have it here for a review, although its a nice controller, i do NOT want to use a keyboard with it.

I'll bet we'll get the answer to that by the end of the year...

-KLH

Yes, pay another 400 Bucks for an FX Controlller ;)

Come on, we're worth it.

-KLH

;)

Or since there is an extra connector underneath the mixer plate, there could be an add-on with a new plate possibly.

still gonna cost 400.00 :)

where is that extra connector ? cant find it ?

Well... midi controller + another DVS app = FREE

so .... i dont plan on using another app

You have to take the mixer plate off and there will be a socket header which you could plug something into.

@ Kraal, then you will have to pay $400, :)

While I don't want to pay more for effects in ITCH, I don't think $400 would stop ANY DJ from paying it.

Just saying... in for $1,200 in pretty pennies, in for $400 more.

-KLH

yes i know..... i have no problem with that .... my wife might but hey she'll get over it :)

You too, huh... Glad to hear that I'm not alone...

-KLH

Well I'm looking at time vs price. If a system already has effects and I have a midi controller that is already interfaced, just support for the NS7 needs implementation....

As I stated in previous threads, I have a different need which is a 'one-stop-shop' dvs solution because I use turntables and the NS7. I just want to switch between devices now instead of maintaining two applications. Makes no sense to me in the long run.

Since I don't have a wife to make noise, my wallet will. :). Spent enough on gear, want to keep spending on vinyl and digital tracks moreso now.

But how do you use your ns7 ?
Do carry it as a mobile sloution or do you have it at home.
Well, i think it depends on what music you play and where you play, wether u need fx or not.

Has anyone actually tried this? I tried it last night and it only releases the loop for me and it releases at the end of the loop. It's basically the same button as the loop release on my NS7.

well, it solid works with my revision

Com on guys. Where do you use your ns7 ?

I use it at home, at gigs with bad stability conditions, radio stration and in the hotel when I'm on the road and need to practice or record a mix.

Loop roll works for me as well.

Can someone post a video here on how they're using the loop roll with the NS7? I've tried it and it only release the loops for me.

thanks!!!!

Did you try using it in when the auto-loop mode is on?

Quartz -
Yes. I engaged it then pressed the alt+ctl+9 and it just released the loop.
So how do you engage it?

I use my NS7 both at home and at the club. I used to have turntables and ScratchLIVE set up at home, but I actually enjoy using the NS7 all the time, so I made it my full-time solution. I got the Numark Flight Case and I love it. The NS7 rests snuggly in there and I take it all over with me. To me, this is my best DJ rig I've ever had as far as convenience and fun goes.

Hi D-RoC71.

Loop Roll creates a temporary 'ghost' loop, which will roll for as long as you hold the Loop Roll. The loop will roll for as long as you hold it, then jump back to where the playhead would have been in the track if you hadn't pressed loop, so there's less chance of the groove or feel being thrown out.

If you are inside a normal loop, the loop roll will just override the loop as it stands, and as you say, just release the loop when you have finished loop rolling. Try it when you're not inside another loop.

The original NS7 did have extra buttons, but they disappeared after a couple of prototypes. Would have been incredibly handy right about now...

absolutely, !!!
Does anyone know, how many Loop/Cues the VCI-300 offers ?
Still Only three ,or ?

3 on the unit 5 including keyboard

si,si

Guys, implement autosave after recording, with a timestamp...please..for the next software update +1

and not in the temporary folder...

you know i acatually like the fact that it doesnt autosave cause sometimes i set record and then don't like what i was doing. it's easier to just hit save to keep than to track down and delete autosaves

but its uncool if you want to recors a couple of, lets say 10 scratches - and u dont want to record them in one large file - but anyway - its a matter of taste

anyway , a lot of trash files on the computer is also bullshit ;)

i wonder where the pitchshifter is. I remebrer that vci-300 had one, but the NS7 doesnt seem to...can i use it from keyboard ?

Ns7 has pitch shift.
3 modes adjustable from the controller: 8% - 16% - 50%. it's Pretty cool huh?

Sorry, i ment keyshift, not pitch range
excusez moi

Sorry, i ment keyshift, not pitch range
excusez moi
like keycorrectio

Key correction is directly above the pitch range button.

--DJ Luciano of The Beatills

Its a keylock, -
look whe i use tspro i can set the beat to 125 and keep it at that tempo , but shift the key it up or down tfor 3 or 4 percent - see?

@ Vestaxxer,

I know what you're talking about. I don't believe SSL nor Itch has this feature. I used this one on of my Midas Touch mixshows to do my own dirty sourth screwed and chopped.

@ Vestaxxer,

Did you grab the 1.2 beta, because I threw my map file up.

Torq has that feature, but I never used it when I had it.

-KLH

Wheres the mapfile ? in NI-Forums ?
I take a lokk
btw, yes, got the Beta

Yeah it's on the forum in DJ Controllers,

I have start, stop, reverse, motor on/off working so far

Note: Reverse switch doesn't work in a hold fashion, you have to press down for reverse, push up and then push down and up to switch from reverse to forward rotation.

So far I'm missing these...

- Select
- Reloop
- Start Time
- Stop Time
- Pitch Range
- Mixing Cue Signals with fader

is there an option to make a ranking /like stars in iTunes to the tracks in ITCH ?
Cheerz

If you right click on the column header there are options you can select from the drop down menu?

Are you a Traktor owner?

I recorded a quick video with my phone last night and posted a link. Check it out.

yep, use t-scratch-pro/audio8 as well.
wheres that video ?
cheerz

Here is another link for it, Watchwww.vimeo.com

dont know, i loaded your file (0.10) in 1.2 pro but the platters will not spin, anth. else to do in that ?
cheerz

Just on the NI forum, and we'll troubleshoot.

Go here, www.native-instruments.com

So, any news yet on using loop roll from the ns7 controller itself?

Read the released updated of the latest version.. loop roll was added to the ns7 since version 1.4

For those who don't know yet,
