Updating The Firmware; Ns6 Calibration - Numark NS6 Reference Manual

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE

Occasionally, there may be an available firmware update for the NS6. If your computer is connected to the internet, Serato ITCH will
automatically detect if you need to update it. Follow these steps when you need to update your firmware:
Note: Audio output will stop during a firmware update. Do not update your firmware in the middle of a performance.
1. With your NS6 connected to the computer, go to the Setup screen and
select the Hardware tab. You will see a message if there is an available
firmware update.
2. Click the Update Firmware button.
3. A dialog box will appear warning you that audio
output will stop during the updating process. Click
"No" to cancel the update or "Yes" to confirm and
continue.
4. A progress bar will appear as your firmware is
updating. Do not disconnect the NS6 during this
process.
When the update is complete, you will see a window
confirming this. Wait while ITCH reacknowledges its
connection with the NS6. You can resume performing
when this is complete.

NS6 CALIBRATION

If you load new firmware to the NS6, or if you ever experience problems with your knobs or faders (a very rare occurrence), the NS6
can be recalibrated. Follow these instructions to calibrate the unit.
1. While holding the right Deck's SYNC button, turn the NS6's power on. HOT CUE BUTTONS 1-5 will flash.
2. Set both PITCH FADERS to the maximum position (closest to you).
3. Press the left Deck's SYNC button.
4. Set both PITCH FADERS to the minimum position (farthest from you).
5. Press the left Deck's SYNC button.
6. Set both PITCH FADERS to the center position.
7. Press the left Deck's SYNC button.
8. On the left Deck's STRIP SEARCH sensor:
a. Touch and hold the right-most position (where you would ordinarily touch to jump to the end of a track). Press the left
Deck's SYNC button.
b. Touch and hold the left-most position (where you would ordinarily touch to jump to the start of a track). Press the left
Deck's SYNC button.
Note: Make sure the whole pad of your fingertip – not just part of it – is touching the end of the STRIP SEARCH sensor.
9. Repeat Steps 8a-b with the right Deck's STRIP SEARCH sensor.
10. Calibration is complete! You may start using NS6.
