Novation Twitch is a DJ controller with a completely new take on DJing and performing. It has Touchstrips to navigate tracks and you can slice-up your beats and mix them back together totally on the fly. Twitch has a built in audio interface which is absolutely rock-solid with headphone, booth and main outputs. If are already a DJ, or produce your own music and are looking for new ways to perform; 16 triggerpads, touchstrips, mixer and numerous rotary controls put your music at your fingertips.

Twitch comes with Serato ITCH powerful DJ software that only works with select hardware controllers. As well as being rock-solid and simple to use, ITCH has totally new performance tools that take digital DJing to the next level.

Already using Traktor?
Novation has created powerful 2 and 4 deck mappings for Traktor PRO. All the controls you need to perform have been mapped to the Touchstrips, knobs, faders and buttons on Twitch. A free Traktor PRO overlay is included in the Twitch box which labels what each control does. Simply place it on TWITCH to transform it into a Traktor controller with a difference.

Professional and Portable
Twitch is designed for performing, so Novation made it tough and compact enough to carry from gig to gig. It has an aluminium top panel and is small enough to be carried with your laptop. Its modest size means it will slot into tight spaces in DJ booths and on stage.

Features:
Hard-wearing metal surface
Compact design
Fully bus powered
LED backlit buttons

Built in Bus Powered Audio Interface
Twitch includes an ultra-reliable 2 in 4 out USB audio interface with high-quality/super low noise main and headphone outputs so it can be connected directly to sound systems with zero hum or noise. There is also a microphone input for vocalists or MCs which you can run through the effects in ITCH.

Features:
Ultra-reliable 2 in 4 out USB-audio interface: plug straight into monitors, mixer or amp
High quality outputs which eliminate hum and noise
Microphone input: with independent analogue gain control for vocalists/MCs
Second stereo input: Twitch has an aux input with its own analogue gain for iPods or other sound sources
Custom audio/MIDI drivers: ultra-low latency audio/MIDI drivers by Novation
Outputs 24bit at sample rates of 44.1/48KHz

After months of research and deliberation, i decided to go with a Twitch over any other controller. As a "classically" trained old-school vinyl DJ, i wasnt sure if id be able to do without platters, but i'm happy with my decision. This is built perfectly for cue jumping, auto looping, live mash-up style of DJing which i really wanted to get into anyway. The fact that you can use it with Serato, Traktor AND Abelton is just amazing. I cant see myself getting bored of this thing anytime soon. The Twitch's notorious "low output" would be what i would consider its only real downside, though it is easily rectified with a mini line mixer or combining outputs (though i havent tried either yet).

I really like using this for small gigs and doing remixes on the fly, however one of the problems I've faced is running multiple USB products with twitch plugged in, for some reason either they don't work or twitch doesn't. Other than that it seems pretty good and I like it.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
