INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the ITCH manual for the Novation TWITCH.
Novation TWITCH is a DJ controller with a difference. Its unique controls enable you to do
some awesome things using ITCH's new performance tools. TWITCH comes with ITCH, a DJ
software application from Serato which, among many other new features, can automatically
beat-match tracks, freeing you to be creative with your DJ sets. TWITCH can also be used with
other DJ software such as Native Instruments Traktor or Ableton Live, but please note that this
manual is specific to its use with Serato ITCH. For more information on using TWITCH with
other DJ software, please go to
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
The TWITCH has been carefully packed in the factory and the packaging was designed
to withstand rough handling. Should the unit appear to have been damaged in transit, do
not discard any of the packing material and notify the carrier immediately as they would be
responsible.
Save all the packing materials for future use if you ever need to ship the unit again.
Please check the list below against the contents of the packaging. If any items are missing or
damaged, contact the Novation dealer or distributor where you purchased the unit.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
As TWITCH is powered via a USB connection you should be aware that although the USB
specification states that a USB port should be able to supply 0.5 A at 5V, some computers
- particularly laptops - are unable to supply this current. Unreliable operation of TWITCH
may result in such a case. When powering TWITCH from a laptop's USB port, it is strongly
recommended that the laptop is powered from AC mains rather than its internal battery.
