General Controls

1. Shift: Press and hold this button to access secondary functions (in red lettering) of other controls on NV.

2. Touch Mode: Press this button to toggle through the Touch Modes, which let you access the touch-capacitive functions of NV's FX 1 Knob, FX 2 Knob, and FX 3 Knob and the EQ Knobs (Channel Treble, Channel Mid, and Channel Bass). These functions are momentary, not "latching."

3. Deck: Selects which Layer in the software is controlled by that hardware Deck. Deck A can control Layer 1 or 3; Deck B can control Layer 2 or 4.

Mixer Controls

4. Gain Trim: Adjusts the pre-fader, pre-EQ audio level of the corresponding channel in the software.

5. LED Meters: Monitors the audio levels of the corresponding channel.

6. Channel Treble: Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies. When Touch Mode is activated, touching this knob will mute the corresponding channel's high frequencies (an "EQ kill").

7. Channel Mid: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies. When Touch Mode is activated, touching this knob will mute the corresponding channel's mid-range frequencies (an "EQ kill").

8. Channel Bass: Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies. When Touch Mode is activated, touching this knob will mute the corresponding channel's low frequencies (an "EQ kill").

9. Channel Fader: Adjusts the audio level on the corresponding channel in the software.

10. PFL: Press this button to send this channel's pre-fader signal to the Cue Channel for monitoring. When engaged, the button will be lit. By pressing one PFL button at a time, you will cue that channel alone (and deactivate PFL monitoring for the other channels). To cue to multiple channels simultaneously, press the PFL buttons for those channels at the same time.

11. Crossfader Assign: Routes the audio playing on the corresponding channel to either side of the crossfader (A or B), or bypasses the crossfader and sends the audio directly to the Program Mix (center, Off).

12. Crossfader Slope: Adjusts the slope of the crossfader curve. Set the switch to the left for a smooth fade (mixing) or to the right for a sharp cut (scratching).

13. Fader Start: Enables or disables "fader start" on the corresponding side of the crossfader. When fader start is enabled on one side, moving the crossfader toward that side will cause the Deck to start playing.

14. Crossfader: Blends audio between the channels assigned to the left and right side of the crossfader.

15. Master Volume: Adjusts the output volume of the Program Mix.

16. Booth Volume: Adjusts the output volume of the Booth Output mix.

17. Mic/Aux On/Off: When set to Mic, the Mic Input is active, and its audio signal is routed directly to the Program Mix. When set to Off, the Mic Input and Aux Input are disabled. When set to Aux, the Aux Input is active, and its audio signal is routed directly to the Program Mix.

18. Mic/Aux Gain: Adjusts the gain of the Mic Input

19. Mic Tone: Adjusts the brightness or darkness of the microphone input signal.

and Aux Input.

Playback Controls

20. Platter: Controls the playhead in the software.

21. Play / Pause: This button pauses or resumes playback.

Press and hold Shift and then press this button to "stutter-play" the track from the last set Cue Point.

22. Cue: When the Deck is paused, you can set a Temporary Cue Point by moving the platter to place the playhead at the desired location and then pressing the Cue Button.

During playback, you can press the Cue Button to return the track to this Temporary Cue Point. (If you did not set a Temporary Cue Point, then it will return to the beginning of the track.)

If the Deck is paused, you can press and hold the Cue Button to play the track from the Temporary Cue Point. Releasing the Cue Button will return the track to the Temporary Cue Point and pause it. To continue playback without returning to the Temporary Cue Point, press and hold the Cue Button, then press and hold the Play Button, and then release both buttons.

Press and hold Shift and then press this button to return to the beginning of the track.

23. Sync: Press this button to automatically match the corresponding Deck's tempo with the opposite Deck's tempo and phase. Press and hold Shift and press this button to deactivate Sync.

24. Bleep / Reverse: Reverses audio playback of the track on the corresponding deck.

Bleep: The playback of the track will be reversed. Press this button again to resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never engaged the Bleep function (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

Reverse: The playback of the track will be reversed. Press and hold Shift and press this button again to resume normal playback from wherever the playhead stops.

25. Scratch: Press this button to activate or deactivate Scratch Mode. In this mode, you can touch the center part of the platter will scratch like a turntable when you spin it. If Scratch Mode is off, the center part of the platter will pitch-bend when you spin it.

Pad Mode Controls

26. Pads: These pads have different functions on each Deck depending on the current Pad Mode. They are velocity-sensitive (in certain modes only), durable, and easy to play. In this section, when referring to specific pads, it will refer to the numbers as shown here.

Pad 2

Pad 3

Pad 4

Pad 5

Pad 6

Pad 7

Pad 8

27. Parameter < / > : Use these buttons for various functions in each Pad Mode. Press and hold Shift and use these buttons to access secondary parameters.

28. Cues: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Hot Cue Mode and Hot Cue Auto-Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Hot Cue Mode.

• Hot Cue Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track to that Hot Cue Point. When a pad is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by pressing it at the desired point in your track. Once it is assigned, the pad will light. Press and hold Shift and then press a pad to delete its assigned Hot Cue Point.

• Hot Cue Auto-Loop Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track to that Hot Cue Point, but in both cases, it also creates an Auto-Loop at that point. The Auto-Loop's length is set in the software, but you can decrease or increase it with the Parameter < or Parameter > button.

Important: If you have purchased the Serato Flip Expansion Pack, the Parameter < and Parameter > buttons have additional functions in Hot Cue Mode and Hot Cue Auto-Loop

Mode that let you create and control Flips. See Flip Controls to learn more.

29. Auto / Roll: This Pad Mode button puts the pads in two modes: Auto-Loop Mode and Loop Roll Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Auto-Loop Mode.

Note: The pad layouts here match the software's default Auto-Loop time division layout. If you shift the range of time divisions displayed in the software, the pad layout will change to match it.

• Auto-Loop Mode: Each pad triggers or releases an Auto-Loop of a different length. Press and hold Shift and then press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to shift the Auto-Loop backward or forward.

• Loop Roll Mode: Each pad triggers a momentary Loop Roll. Press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to change the Loop Roll's time division.

30. Loop: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two banks of saved loops and loop controls. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select the first bank.

• Saved Loop Mode: Pads 1-4 (the top row) return the track to one of your saved loops. You create and save a loop using Pads 5-8 (the bottom row). The pad layouts for the two banks are identical.

o To create a loop, press Pad 5 to set the Loop In Point, and then press Pad 6

to set the Loop Out Point and trigger the loop.

o To save a loop, while a loop is active, press any one of Pads 1-4 (the top row)

that does not have a loop assigned to it. You can do this regardless of how the loop was created (Saved Loop Mode, Auto-Loop Mode, Loop Roll Mode, etc.).

o To trigger a saved loop, press any one of Pads 1-4 (the top row) that has a

loop saved to it. Press Pad 7 to activate or deactivate the loop. Press Pad 8 to return the track to the last triggered loop and reactivate it ("reloop").

o To delete a saved loop, press and hold Shift and then press the

corresponding pad (of Pads 1-4).

o To halve or double the length of a loop, press the Parameter < or

Parameter > button.

o To shift a loop backward or forward, press and hold Shift and then press the

Parameter < or Parameter > button.
