Overview

The pads are for controlling cue’s, loops, and The Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX is a 2 channel

(with 4 channel layering) entry level DJ controller with an integrated audio interface. The stand

out feature of the Mixtrack Platinum FX is the LCD displays integrated into the jog wheels. It is a

USB Audio and MIDI Class compliant device and works with Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Audio interface

Configure Mixxxs’Master output for channels 1-2 and Headphones output for Channels 3-4.

The microphone input on this controller is not available to the computer through the controller’s

audio interface. It is mixed with the master output in hardware, so this controller’s audio

interface is not suitable for broadcasting or recording the inputs. If you want to use the

controller for broadcasting or recording, a separate audio interface with a microphone input is

suggested.

Firmware

The mapping requires the following Soft/Firmware for all enabled features.

MIXXX v2.2.4 to v2.3.2

Firmware Update v1.10 MAC

Firmware Update v1.10 WIN 1
