Numark Reveals Scratch Controller

Numark and Genius, the companies behind the upcoming 'Scratch: The Ultimate DJ', have released images of the turntable controller for the game.

Attendees of E3 next week will be the first to get their hands on the controller, which features a free-spinning touch sensitive turntable complete with a crossfader, and five drum pads. The turntable allows left or right-handed players to add the music when they wish, and the drum pads allow the addition of samples. The game comes with 60 pre-loaded samples, but players can also create their own.

“For decades, Numark has been developing turntables, DJ mixers and digital DJ controllers.  We know what professional DJs demand, and we used that knowledge to produce SCRATCH DECK,” said Adam Cohen, the director of business development at Numark. “It was critical that we deliver an authentic DJ experience to gamers, whether they be experienced DJs or players who have never put a needle to vinyl.”

Scratch will be available for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in the autumn. See the new images below.
