Computer Control – How the MIXDECK connects to and controls software
The MIXDECK’s USB connection connects the built-in audio interface, and two playback decks to your Mac or PC.
Important things to know:
The Audio interface in the MIXDECK requires drivers. Without the latest drivers installed, the MIXDECK can’t
connect to the computer. Download the latest drivers at www.numark.com/mixdeck.
About the Mixer section: while the platters and buttons on the left and right playback decks send MIDI messages
to the computer, the center section is an analog mixer, and does not send any messages to the computer.
This means the knobs and sliders on the mixer will not move the knobs and sliders on the screen in your
software. That’s OK, the software is expecting this, and will send separated un-mixed audio to CH1 and CH2 on
the mixer. You’ll be able to scratch, cue, and control everything you need.
The MIXDECK is a lot like having four pieces of gear in one…
1. A 4 channel (2 stereo channels) sound card like the Numark DJiO
2. An individual MIDI capable, touch-sensitive, scratching CD decks like the Numark NDX900.
3. A second individual MIDI capable, touch-sensitive, scratching CD decks like the Numark NDX900.
4. An analog mixer like the Numark iM1.
...except without all the extra connection cables or power supplies. Plus, it fits better in a case!
Even through just one USB cable connects the MIXDECK to the computer, each deck, and the sound card
are seen by the computer separately.
