Numark HDX turntable got hard drive
Heads up, DJs — Numark will be rolling this sweet beast out before the end of the year. The Numark HDX is similar to its predecessor the CDX — both sport a vinyl "interface" for working with sounds that are actually in the digital domain, but the HDX adds a full on removable hard drive in addition to the CD player found on the CDX. The unit will ship with an 80GB hard drive that functions as a mass storage device, so transferring your music collection is as simple as hooking up the unit via USB 2.0 and dragging and dropping from any Mac or PC. The HDX supports playback of MP3, WAV, WMA, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC media and has an onboard Gracenote database for auto-tagging imported tracks. It's also got a number of built-in modes for scratching and looping as well as a number of onboard beat-synched digital effects. It also ships with a PS2 QWERTY keyboard for even easier navigation through the display interface. Video clips of this in action via the Read link.
