Awesome 10/10 this is the best professionally edited and shot video tutorial I have seen on this device. For a $100 US this seems like a must buy. Just to be clear the dongle gets attached to your laptop and you run a program like serato and it will respond accordingly to that . If you want to play muisc you can press play on the orbit and then fade out the music using a button/dial on the orbit I suppose using the crossfade. You just have to remember the right button you have selected for the function
Fantastic video! Is this Traktor mapping you're using in the video the default one from Numark website or you made any change? I need something very simple as it looks so on this review. Thinking about buying the gear. Does it come with a default "browse" section for seeking and loading files? Greetings from Brazil
Update The orbit controller works fine with Serato DJ and after looking at serato midi mapping 101 tutorial I sorted out how to midi map. I have mapped it so i can play a song, stop it and reduce the volume with the central dial.etc. if you want to use this with Serato You will need Serato dj not Serato intro which doesn't have midi functionality and a combatible controller like the numark mixdeck. Serato can't function just alone on a computer. This could of been so much better,easier and cheaper if the orbit came with some useable software to play music. It basically works well only in combination with software programs like traktor and Serato, which is great for those companies but not the consumer
Update for those looking at buying this, think twice. After many hours it basically is complex and rubbish. Problem 1 using the orbit software it is designed for the music does not play consistent it will play for 20 seconds or so and then will start to cut out. The problem here I think is that it's not loading the song properly and any drain on your computers cpu will cause a loss in sound. Second problem tried loading the software on to my mac osx would not install. Maybe there it needs an update but who knows. The biggest problem is the complexity of the mapping totally confusing and overkill the designers of this fogot there target audience are not computer programmers. As for working with serato no videos available on how to do map this just guys showing it already setup/. 2/10 for this product. Sorry for the rant I'm sending this one back
