Numark NSFX

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009


Designed in collaboration with Serato for the ITCH system, NSFX is designed to mate perfectly with NS7, delivering seamless integration and hands-on control of the wide range of effects built into ITCH. Those effects will sync automatically to the tempo of the track to which they are applied, allowing for quick, easy, musically satisfying results every time.

Attach NSFX to NS7’s integrated laptop stand for convenient access to effects controls. Designed to match the high-quality fit and finish of NS7, NSFX delivers the same robust, professional feel that NS7 users have grown accustomed to. Because Numark designed NSFX in collaboration with Serato, it is instantly compatible with ITCH. Simply plug NSFX in via USB, which will activate the effects functionality in the latest version of ITCH. All parameter controls are intelligently pre-mapped and no software-driver installation is needed so DJs literally plug and play with NSFX. Club DJs will appreciate NSFX’s light-up controls that indicate each control’s setting and/or status for visual feedback in virtually any lighting environment.

Technics Lives Again

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Well as you might have heared the Technics is Dead rumors which started here in Australia and NZ have finally been squashed by Panasonic Australia.

This new statement was issued by Panasonic earlier this week, “Regarding an email I sent last week regarding the end of manufacture of Technics turntables,” it read. “We have had a misunderstanding in communication with the factory and my original email is incorrect. Panasonic will continue to manufacture and supply Technics turntables for the forseable future. We regret any problems this may have caused in the meantime.”

This was after the rumors began after Ian North of Panasonic Australia sent this Email late last week “due to low sales globally a decision to stop production has been made by Technics”. Which Lightsounds passed on to Inthemix after they read it in our twitter soon after we heard the news.

So peace can once again be restored on the hoards of Technics devotes.
