It's great for shortcuts to set up cues and loops. I use serato dj and does well. You need a light because you won't see the shortcuts on the keyboard. I recommend it.

Should be once you find the midi map for it. They're all midi devices and should all work with all software once you can remap. Its made for Serato DJ though which is a free download or comes on a CD with the package. Not trying to get on my high horse but pro DJs are pretty much split between Traktor and Serato. Virtual DJ has improved much from its beginnings but its no Serato IMHO.

Not sure about the first question because we midi through the keyboard. Second question, 1, we are a duo and we both have one. I would recommend it. Nice clean sound and not computerized.

Hey man you need a computer to run Serato DJ, but you can download Serato Remote for your iPad to get further control of the software.

Not a Mac use either but I went on youtube and searched for a song that I knew had plenty of bass for a sound check and it works perfectly. If you are wondering what song search for Victory by P. diddy

My wife actually uses this keyboard and she likes it very much. She was a secretary and used to a Selectric. I don't remember any problem installing it but I think there is a switch that you flip if you are using it on a Mac. The instructions were adequate and no problem with installation. After you select IMac on the switch it was plug and play. I use a MACALLY keyboard on my IMac which cost about a third of the Matias Tactile pro and would recommend it but they are hard to find. It does not have the same feel as the Matias but still much better than the toy wireless board that comes with the IMAC. My wife actually uses this keyboard and she likes it very much.

For all you mac people here, i suggest downloading ControllerMate, which i was able to configure to support most of the special keys (sometimes with my own scripts rather than the intended purpose). Its not free, but its worth it to have this sexy keyboard work properly with my mac

Yes. The old version comes with Itch, but the firmware can be updated and it works just fine with Serato Dj. I did it and its perfect. The new version comes with Serato DJ. Hope this helps

traktor pro contains the drivers for stanton products( i use a traktor high bit sound card) , but personally i find virtual a simpler program to use in live mode,,, and theres better sound shaping software for studio,,, traktor seems to have trouble with itunes interface if thats your source files,, i use pc, done with apple, so not sure on that but i would imagine, its a huge program,,

its very straight forward the usb hooks up straight to the mac as long as you download the software from serato's site first, its called serato dj and the ddj sx for me works amazing so i strongly recommend it

10.9.1 is what I have on my Mac mini. It was pretty much plug and play. It did have, a few questions and promos when I plugged in to the USB port. I was told by others this was a plug and play keyboard . After all the Macally folks are pretty much MAC friendly when it comes to hook up. Try reboot after plugged in. Can you upgrade your OS? I agree that the website is not to helpfully. With that said I really like the feel of this new keyboard.

Hi Irvin: I am a new owner of the Numark NS6, and since Serato ITCH doesn't support Windows 8 right now, it will support Virtual DJ, which is how I'm using it today. The only thing is you'll need a USB controller (I have the Behringer UCA202 - the most inexpensive one on the market today). Also, you'll need to download ASIO driver from the Virtual DJ website. Lastly, you'll need Virtual DJ Pro (full version0 to work with the NS6. If you go this route get back with me and I'll show you how to get tons of music for pennies-on-a-dollar.

I've used it with Komplete 9. Unless 10 is radically different, it's pretty much just a matter of opening KOntakt and choosing Triple Play as your midi controller. Velocity isn't going to be as controllable as with a keyboard, but it does work, amazingly. Latency is non-existent as long as you have your buffer settings correct. I've had to make readjustments with successive OS X upgrades, but that's a Mac problem. The Triple Play software is mostly used for calibration and playing with different sounds, but it's not required just to function as a controller. I play it through my iPad with Sample Tank as well.

I'm running mines using Windows 8. It brings the Serato Itch software but if you go on the Setato website you'll find an archive of Serato versions available for download for free.

I have a 2-yr old macbook pro, and there doesn't seem to be a noticeable delay. The main issue is when you hit the keys, they don't always play the note, or they might play two notes.

Does anyone know if it is possible to simply play an LP on this turntable through the Mac? I see someone has responded with instructions to make it play through a PC with Windows but I am wondering about the Mac...I have good speakers attached to my Macbook and would like to play it through that.

It would depend on what version of Serato you are running. Please refer to the link to see the version that this system can run. Bear in mind that this system is not upgradable to OSX LION or higher. It is as upgraded as it can be OS wise. I enjoy using it, but it can be difficult to find software as this system is a bit dated. The production date for this model is 2007-2008. Very good system for the money, though. I hope this helps!http://serato.com/downloads/scratchlive
