Novation music is one of our favorite brands (as NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO 3 ) out there, dominating a lot of our top choices in shopping guides we write. The Novation Twitch gives us a bit of a different spin on DJ controllers. You’ll notice in the image that it isn’t the most traditional setup since it’s lacking pretty much the benchmark of a DJ controller — the decks (or JOG wheels), but not so fast. It has touch-strips for track navigation, beat splicing for mixing on the fly, a built-in audio interface, 16 trigger pads for some drum or sample controls, and quite a few rotary controls. I’ve actually heard of DJ’s pairing this up with their simpler deck controls for a nice combination (plus it looks cool to have more gear in your setup these days, unfortunately). If you use Ableton Live as your digital audio workstation then it’s even better because they have a free app that you can install to pair up with it seamlessly. Although, it works well with most software too. It’s fully bus-powered for convenience, pretty convenient in terms of size and the build is overall stable being a tough metal surface. The most standout of this is the slicer for chopping, trigger pads that are decent quality as well as the master FX and fader FX mode. It may work with some, it may not for others. Synthtopia’s Novation Twitch review highlights it in more detail.
