First DJ Hardware Control Surface Designed for MixMeister And Other DJ Software

Cumberland, RI, USA – March 12, 2008. Numark, the world’s leading manufacturer of products for the DJ market, announces MixMeister Control. Designed as the world’s first hardware controller for MixMeister software, Numark continues its tradition of DJ innovation.

MixMeister software ignited the DJ world by merging powerful Digital Audio Workstation capabilities and full-featured live DJ performance. MixMeister Control is a hardware control surface for real-time performance and control of MixMeister, or other MIDI-capable DJ software.

MixMeister Control is the only controller designed and optimized to work like a true hardware extension of the MixMeister interface. With this revolutionary new controller, MixMeister DJs can plug in and be performing in seconds. MixMeister Control even comes with a full version of MixMeister Fusion software - the perfect way to get started.

Individual hands-on controls are included for looping by track, EQ, FX and more with complete control for up to four tracks at once. A massive amount of expression is possible with MixMeister Control’s 40 knobs, 53 buttons and a Jog Wheel for fast location management.  Finally, automation effects, VST plug-ins and other functions can be manipulated with minimal computer interaction.

The included MixMeister Fusion software frees the DJ from monotonous tasks like beat matching, setting cue points, and counting beats in their head. It gives them the power to unleash their creativity and shape music with live looping and remixing, VST effects, harmonic mixing and more. DJs can manipulate tempo, volume, and EQ in real time, on-the-fly.  Fusion even records all DJ actions (not just the resulting audio), so users can go back, listen to their mix, and make precise adjustments with studio-style editing capabilities.

Whether DJs use MixMeister to perform live or to mix custom tracks in the studio, MixMeister Control is a 'must-have' companion for any DJ.

•    Hardware control surface for MixMeister and other MIDI-capable DJ software
•    USB interface - no driver required
•    Includes MixMeister Fusion Live software
•    Compatible with other MIDI applications
•    Works with Windows or Mac OS X
