The Numark Orbit is the next step in the evolution of the performing DJ.
Made to be held your hands or strapped to your body using its built-in
clip, or placed on the table, Orbit packs an unheard-of amount of
control into an ergonomic game-controller-on-steroids design, which has
every inch, inside and out, tailor-made for live performance. Orbit can
be used wired via the included USB cable, which also charges it, or
wireless using 2.4 GHz ultra-low-latency connectivity.
Orbit can be used wirelessly for upto 8 hours from a single charge or
powered via USB for extended use. Orbit features 4 selectable banks of
16 backlit pads, 8 on each side, for adding and blending effects,
launching hot cues and samples, and more. Located in the center of Orbit
are 4 bank selection buttons, 4 virtual knobs, and a large
aluminum-faced touch-sensitive control wheel, which controls the
selected virtual knob for instantly tweaking effects and filters.
Orbit’s live-performance design extends even to the inside of the
device, where it has an embedded 2-axis accelerometer, which can be
assigned to 2 different parameters per bank and activated instantly via 2
shoulder buttons. All of Orbit’s controls are fully mappable, so DJs
will be able to customize their settings for effects control, transport
control, volume control, or any other MIDI parameter.
