I like it. It isn't flashy (no pun intended). Very organized, and a clean layout. Much easier to find what you are looking for.

No I'm not a moderator of their forum ( we have already a lot of things to do on our forum with a lot of users to help and we are all the time overloaded ;-) ) but i just help them a little bit for the beginning.

I think Numark needs to focus on redesigning the (Almost) Total-Control—the thing needs touch sensitive jog wheels and a headphone jack!!
OO
Btw. The DMC-2 could also use some touch sensitive jog wheels!

The Total Control is not a sound card, so a headphone jack would be worthless......and it has touch sensitive jog wheels. Try toggeling the scratch button on and off and see for yourself. The Total Control is a good unit, and it is just a midi controller nothing else.
@Cel....Cool, so I am right...lol..this is still the best place for answers....lol

I have read the specs for it, and it does not state that it has touch sensitive jog wheels. Furthermore, other owners have stated that it does not have touch sensitive jog wheels. However, I will check my info again. Thanks for your reply.

Double O is right, the Total Control does NOT have touch sensitive jog-wheel, like the ones you will find on Axis9, CDJ1000/800, Vestax VCI100.The jog's have to be moved to function.
You do however have the ability so scratch though, just not exactly the way you are used to...

I am sorry to disagree with you but, I own the Total Control.as can be seen buy the Numark KCO icon under my name, I also own a BCD2K, I also own two iCDXs. Amongst other pieces of equipment. The jog wheels are touch sensitive, and can be used to "bump" the beats or by pressing the scratch button to scratch. It is a fine controller well worth the cost.

If the jog wheels are touch sensitive, why is this important feature not listed for this product on Numark’s website?
http://www.numark.com/totalcontrol
There is no way this feature would not be mentioned. Also, just because you can scratch with a jog wheel does not make it touch sensitive. The only way to have “Total-Control” is with jog wheels that are sensitive to your touch. This feature is not even listed for the more expensive DMC-2:
http://www.numark.com/dmc2
Furthermore, here is an entire thread on the subject of this controller:
http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/70065/General_Discussion/Weeeeeeee____)_Total_Control.html?page=3
The first post you see should be the answer to the touch sensitive question that I posted on the previous page of this thread. Consequently, I hope Numark will include this feature on a controller in the future. I will gladly give Numark my $$$ when this happens.

the Total Control does NOT have touch sensitive jogwheels.
It has regular controller jogwheels.
Touch sensitive jogwheels means you can just hold a finger on the jog, and the song will stop, and stay stopped (like on turntables or on CD players like CDJ 800/1000).
The total control has jogwheels that will stop the song when MOVED, but as soon as it stays still (even if your and is on it) song will play.
This makes a huge difference to scratch djs.

So true....It also "makes a huge difference to" any DJ who wants to scratch—no matter how much or how little the DJ scratches.

The only good thing about Total Control is that it syncs very well with Virtual Vinyl (VDJ). Other than that its garbage. Beside it having such cheap housing, you can't disable the jog wheels, no preview (pfl), plastic nobs, the cheapest faders/volume sliders I've ever used...and so on. I tried to return mine. The website said I could, but when I when to return they denied me because the controller came with the le version of cue and tractor. I was furious! I prob would have bought a couple Nou 4's from them (PSSL) for everyone in my company but now I'll just stay local.

I've never been impressed with Numark or their products. Cheap & nasty is what springs to mind when I hear the name Numark. I guess you get what you pay for. For every product Numark makes, there is another company making a more professional, robust version of it.
I don't have any experience of their controllers, only of their turntables, cd players, mixers etc, and having tried those, thats the reason why I won't try one of their controllers.
Ironically, I did want to try their Virtual Vinyl hardware, but they won't sell it seperately, so another Numark let down for me.
But thats only my opinion.

i agree.
the virtual vinyl box should be allowed to be purchased seperately.

I also don't care for Numark products. But I have to say I do like my Total controller. I am a professional dj / producer for the last 17 years:
http://www.discogs.com/artist/DJ+Vitamin+D
They sent us one to test at Beatport and really liked it... Not sure how long it will last as it does feel cheap. I would have liked to see a cover that comes with it...maybe something like the Hercules controller...
I use the controller with my laptop and thats it.
I was going to buy the Vestax controller but could not see spending 500 on it.

The DMC2 seems a little more robust
I think it might have something to do with the cd player it was copied from - the cdn98 - metal chassis - not plastic - rubber buttons - not plastic, etc.
Niether are truely top-of-the-line
but
I like my DMC2 and can;t see buying another controller for a while.
