This Quickstart Guide explains how to quickly setup and begin using the Numark STEALTH
CONTROL DJ system. Please take a few minutes to go through this Quickstart and get familiar
with the setup procedure and basic controls.

We have designed STEALTH CONTROL as a complete system for software-based DJs. STEALTH
CONTROL is a MIDI-compliant device and can be used with any software which supports the
MIDI protocol. We have included two software packages – Native Instruments’ Traktor 3 LE and
MixMeister Fusion Live – enabling you to DJ right out of the box.

We also highly recommend reading the software reference manuals, included on the installation
disc, in order to take full advantage of STEALTH CONTROL. Happy DJing!

Please Note: If you are using the Stealth Control with a USB hub, we recommend that you either use a
powered hub, or the optional 6V 1A power adapter. This will ensure proper operation.

A NOTE ABOUT MIDI CONTROL :::::

The Stealth Control was designed as a MIDI-compliant device, allowing you to
control any computer application which supports the MIDI protocol. This means that
you can not only use the Stealth Control with the included software, but can also use
the controller with a variety of other music and video applications as well. In order to
use the Stealth Control with your favorite software, you will have to enable the
Stealth Control as a MIDI input device in your software’s preferences. Please note
that depending on your software, the Stealth Control may not necessarily show up as

“Stealth Control” in the MIDI preferences.

through the music on your computer. Press down
on the TRACK knob to load the selected track in
the preview player. Use the TRACK knob while
pressing and holding down the PAGE button to
browse and navigate through your different drives,
folders and playlists. Once you release the PAGE
button, you can then use the TRACK knob to
browse the contents of the selected folder.

2. PAGE - Holding down the PAGE button while
using certain controls on the Stealth Control allows
for an additional layer of functionality.

3. CUE SOURCE - Press the CUE SOURCE button
to send the music playing on the deck to the

using a multiple output audio interface, the Monitor
(headphone) channel will be the same as the
Master channel. When browsing the folder
structure on the left of the screen, while holding
down the PAGE button, you can use the CUE
SOURCE buttons to expand and collapse the
selected folder. The left CUE SOURCE button will
collapse the selected folder, while the right CUE
SOURCE button will expand the selected folder.

4. PLAY - Press the PLAY button to begin playing
the track.

5. CUE - The CUE button will return and pause the

track at the last set cue point. For temporary
play of the cue point, you can hold down the
CUE button. The track will play for as long as
the button is held down and will return to the
cue point once it has been released.

6. SET CUE - You can use this button to set a

new cue point.

7. CUE PLAY - You can hold down the CUE

PLAY button to go back and pause at the last

VOLUME fader which can be used to make
volume adjustments to the music playing on
the corresponding deck.

9. PITCH - Each virtual deck features a PITCH

SLIDER, which can be used to change the
pitch or tempo of the music playing on the
corresponding deck.

10. PITCH BEND -/+ - You can use these two pitch

bend buttons to temporarily adjust the pitch
and tempo of the music playing on the
corresponding deck. Pitch bend is typically
used to make small adjustments when mixing
two tracks so their beats occur synchronously.

11. KEY - The KEY button engages the Key Lock
feature in Traktor LE. When Key Lock is engaged,
the pitch of the music playing on the deck will be
locked to the current value. You can then adjust
the tempo of the music, independent of the pitch.

12. SYNC - Press this button to synchronize the
tempo of the deck to the tempo of the other virtual
deck. (To synchronize the beats of the two decks,
use the INTERLOCK button.)

13. JOG WHEEL – While a track is playing on the
deck, the jog wheel functions as a pitch bend.
While a track is paused, you can use the jog wheel
to quickly scan the current track. When the
SCRATCH button is engaged, the jog wheel
allows you to “scratch” the music on the deck.

14. LOOP - Press this button to create a seamless
one bar loop. When you press the LOOP button,
the track will begin looping until you release the
loop by pressing the LOOP button again.

15. GAIN - Each virtual deck features a GAIN knob
which can be used to make adjustments to the
gain level on the corresponding deck.

16. EQ - Each deck features an EQ which can be
used to make adjustments to the levels of the
Treble, Mid, and Bass frequencies of the music.
By pressing down, each EQ knob can also
function as a Kill switch, removing that frequency
band from the music. The LED next to the knob
will light to let you know that the Kill feature has
been engaged. To disengage the Kill feature,
press on the knob again.

17. LOAD TRACK - Each virtual deck features a
LOAD TRACK button. Selecting a track and
pressing the LOAD TRACK button will load the
track to the corresponding deck. You can "focus"
on one of the decks by holding down the PAGE
button and pressing the corresponding deck's
LOAD TRACK button. Certain controls on the
Stealth Control will only address the deck which is
currently "in focus".

18. CROSSFADER - You can use the CROSSFADER
to fade between the two tracks playing on the
virtual decks. If the crossfader is in the left-most
position, you will only hear the audio from deck A.
If the crossfader is in the middle position, you will
be able to hear both the audio from deck A and
the audio from deck B. If the crossfader is in the
right-most position, you will only be able to hear
the audio from deck B.

19. MASTER - The MASTER knob functions as
Master Level control, allowing you to change the
overall volume of the mix.

20. PH VOL - This knob adjusts the Monitor Mix level.
Please note that, unless you are using a multiple
output audio interface, the Monitor and Master
channels will be the same.

21. PH MIX - This knob adjusts the balance between
the Monitor and Master channels in the

balance control.

Mode. While Scratch Mode is activated, you can
use the jog wheel to scratch the audio playing on
the deck.

down, you will hear only the original sound.
Conversely, if the knob is all the way up, you
will hear only the effected sound.

25. SELECT - Press this button to select between

the different effects to be applied to the Master
Mix.

26. PAR 1 - This knob adjusts the first parameter

of the selected effect. Please note that this
parameter will be different, depending on which
effect you have selected.

27. ON/OFF - Press this button to turn the master

effect on and off.
