This controller as the same as the Numark Mixtrack Pro but without a built-in sound card. It has been discontinued and succeeded by the Numark Mixtrack 3.

Support in Mixxx

What is the state of the support in Mixxx ?

As of Mixxx 1.8.2, the Numark Mixtrack is fully supported. The community-made controller mapping and backing script is regularly updated to take the remarks and improvements into account. Which can be found in the corresponding forum thread.

The jogs

Not in scratch mode

When not in scratch mode, touching the jogs won't pause the song. Turning them will slightly adjust the tempo, which will resume slowly to its speed. This slowness to resume is somehow equivalent to what you would expect from drivebelt turntables. I hate it, and I have not found a way to correct it... This is why I mostly mix using the pitch bend buttons, which allow for an instant resume to the "pitch slider assigned" pitch for the track.

In scratch mode

In scratch mode, touching the jogs will pause the song. The jogs are very sensitive, and allow for scratching and launching tracks on a given moments when "cueing them in your headphones". Be very careful with this: never remain in scratch mode if not needed, you will touch the jogs by error and put your tracks out of sync because one has pause, or worse, produce a "blank".

Known problems

• The effect control not work like Virtual DJ software.
• The jog not work with the same sensibility of Virtual DJ.
