Some people are attracted to the Numark V7 because of the direct-drive motorized turntable platter. High and low torque options? You got it. Serato suuport? Scratch LIVE libraries. Yes. Compatible with all DJ mixers, blah, blah blah. The thing that caught our eyes here is the ability to use this motorized turntable controller between two DJs with two laptop setups. You can create up to four virtual DJ decks with the V7.

I admit I’ve never done a DJ battle and have no personal use for the hand-off feature…but I know plenty of people who do. And then there are the crazy collaborative mutants who want to create their own riffs, samples, mashup insanity, you name it. Two people in a room, the back-n-forth between four decks with one controller. A case of beer, a burst of creativity and sleep deprivation all add up to serious mayhem potential. That’s on V7 shared between two DJs. Convenient and loaded with possibilities for the right sick minds who can think outside the DJ booth.

The Numark V7 handoff feature has so many other potential uses and abuses beyond the standard DJ set…get crazy with the cheese-whiz with the V7–and PLEASE be sure to send us the results of your sonic experiments using the Numark V7. Throbbing Gristle meets Erasure at King Tubby’s, anyone?

Specs include support for Mac and Windows, so cross platform types won’t be let down here.
