Novation Twitch DJ Controller

The Novation Twitch has been developed in collaboration with Serato to be a DJ controller with a difference. It comes with Serato ITCH DJ software, which can automatically beat-match tracks to let you get creative with your DJ sets and it has unique Touchstrip controls that enable you to do amazing things with Serato ITCH's new performance tools. It can also be MIDI-mapped to other DJ software such Traktor or Ableton Live.

The Twitch comes with a free Traktor overlay in the box and a 2/4 deck mapping is available to download from the Novation website. It can also be mapped to Ableton Live and full integration with Live will be available soon.

The Twitch controller provides a completely new perspective on DJing. Its control surface with 2 banks of 8 triggerpads, professional crossfader and per-channel fader FX, opens up awesome possibilities for digital DJs and the new breed of controllerists. The 2 LED-backlit touch strips let you manipulate your tracks using gestures as you would on a multi-touch trackpad or touchscreen. You can grab, pinch, tap and nudge to navigate, perform and improvise with your tunes.

The Twitch has 4 performance modes (hot cues, slicer, auto loop and loop roll) that interact seamlessly with Itch, so you can mash up your tracks and mix them back together totally on the fly. Hot cues mode lets you instantly jump to markers in your tracks and re-trigger up to 8 hits, just like you can with a sampler. Slicer mode allows you to do something completely new and re-arrange your tracks while they're still playing using a step sequencer-style user interface. You can chop up beats and breaks with complete freedom and rearrange them into totally different grooves in real time, without having to painstakingly assign sounds to pads. The Twitch's auto loop and loop roll modes allow you to further manipulate tracks and, in combination with the Touchstrips, change loop lengths in the mix to create glitch effects, all without falling out of time. Further expanding your potential for live creativity, effects can be assigned to the channel faders at the touch of a button, so you can perform fast effects tricks with fader movements as well as with the knobs of the Master Effects section.

The Twitch is designed for life on the road and on stage. It's robust and compact, ready to slot into tight spaces in the DJ booth and can be carried away from the gig in a laptop bag. The Twitch is also bus-powered, you simply plug in the USB and audio cables and you're ready to play. It includes a high-quality 2 inputs/4 outputs USB audio interface with professional, high-level master and booth outputs. Quarter-inch and mini-jack headphone outputs supply a loud and clear signal to any set of headphones. The balanced main outputs can be connected directly into large PA systems as well as home set-ups, with excellent audio quality guaranteed. There's also a Mic/Aux channel with mono jack and stereo RCA inputs so vocalists and MCs can be blended with additional audio sources, such as an MP3 player and routed through the Twitch's effects and to the master outputs.
