0:00 We're rocking the Numark NV

Alright ladies and gentlemen, we're rocking the Numark NV. We've got a track here entitled Go All Night, it's the clean extended high definition version. Georgian City featuring Jennifer Hudson. Okay, in this video we're looking at the touch effects on the Numark NV. I'm going to pause the video just for a second. So we have one, two, three dials where we can add effects not only to the audio but we can add effects to the video as well. So I'll just highlight that at the moment. If I just turn effects one, have a look at the screen and we can see a definite change in the video image. Go to effects number two and we can see again a slight change, subtle change there in the colour. Number three, a definite change there.

Okay, also what I'd like you to make note of is when I'm touching these dials we're having the corresponding... ...red LEDs lighting up. That's because we're in touch effects mode. Now if I touch, absolutely nothing at all. Okay, what I'm going to do now is turn the dials without pressing these corresponding buttons, nothing happens. Press the corresponding buttons and now we have the effects again. Okay so one, two and three. Alright, so why is touch effects? Not vitally important, but why is it a great feature of the new Mark MV? I'll explain. Let's say for example we go to effects one and you want to reach a point where you get to this kind of effect. Well, you're going to have to sweep to get to that effect, to get to the effect.

1:57 You can disengage, turn and of course you can press on or off

Yep, so you sweep through to get to that point in the effect. What you can do using touch effects is this. You can disengage, turn and of course you can press on or off. There. Alternatively with touch effects engage that now we can just tap. So you can see that we're getting that effect. Not only that, let's have a listen. Now if we go now to two and three. Okay so it does exactly what it says on the tin. You are touching now to get that effect. Not only the effect over the audio but effect over the video as well, okay?
