Could a new age of hybrid gear be upon us? Numark was showing three of the coolest DJ gear prototypes at the show, one of which plopped a Korg Kaoss pad effects processor square in the middle of a full-fledged DJ mixer. The EM-360 embeds the vital hardware and fingerpad of the Kaoss inside the mixer, instantly making it the best DJ mixer for built-in effects in existence. Other Numark prototypes were the DM1295 DJ mixer with built-in, 10-second sampler, and the CDN-88 DJ CD players, with treaded pitch-bend and scratch wheels for a secure feel. No pricing or availability information was given for these Numark products.
