Numark Party Mix III Official Support

iPadOS is version 26.5, and djay for iPad is 5.6.7.

Neither the iPad nor the iPhone is connected to any other device; I just wanted to connect the iPad to the controller via Bluetooth, but it didn’t work.

The iPad isn’t connected to any device via cable.

Bluetooth is turned off on all nearby devices anyway.

I just connected the iPad using a USB-C cable; it’s running, but there is no sound coming from the iPad. Do I need to adjust a setting, or does it only output via headphones? Also, I have one of those Apple USB dongles (see image below); how do I set it up so the iPad charges via a USB charger while I’m using the controller?

Hi @mstylez77, thanks for the additional info. When connected via USB cable, normally you would use the Party Mix III for audio output by connecting a speaker to the Master output of the Party Mix III and not output through the iPad built-in speakers. If you don’t have a speaker, I can guide you through the process of using your iPad speakers. Just note that with this configuration you will not be able to use headphone pre-cueing.

Here are the steps to output through you iPad built-in speakers (with no headphone pre-cueing):

  1. Swipe down from the top right of your iPad screen to reveal Control Center.
  2. Select the Speaker Icon.
  3. Switch from the Numark Party Mix III to iPad Speaker.
  4. Manually adjust your iPad speaker volume using the buttons on your iPad.

Okay, thanks for the tip about using the headphones via the iPhone. However, I’m still missing the option to charge the iPad’s battery while playing audio when using the Apple Multiport Adapter.

You’re welcome @mstylez77. You need to connect your original iPad charging cable and charging block to the socket shown below:

The Controller has Only a usb-c to usb-cable in the box, Is there an adapter for that?

I recommend you purchase a high quality USB-C to USB-A cable. Additional adapters are not recommended as this can cause reliability issues.

Hi, can anyone tell me if the party mix III unlocks horizontal waveforms view? thanks

Hi @graps, welcome to the Community! This device does not unlock the full Pro view mode, so no horizontal waveforms. You have access to Starter, Automix and Classic view modes with the unlock.

Hi!

I just bought this Party Mix 3 and I’m having latency issues with the Djay app on my Android tablet. When I use the faders and knobs, there’s a slight delay in the response. I have a Xiaomi Redmi Pad 2 Pro tablet, and the app works perfectly when I use the touchscreen, but when I connect the Numark controller, there’s a delay. I’ve tested it on my MacBook, and there’s no delay problem; it works perfectly. It only happens when I use the app on Android. What solution could you suggest? Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jordi_Chimi, welcome to the Community! Have you tried connecting via USB-C cable to your Android device instead of via Bluetooth?

Hi @Slak_Jaw ,

Thank you for your quick repond.

No, I’ve always tested it connected via USB-C cable.

I hadn’t tried it via Bluetooth, and after a quick test, I’ve noticed that it improves the response of the faders and knobs. There’s a slight delay, but it’s even better than when I connect it directly with the USB-C cable that Numark provides. I’ve also tried changing the cable, but I’m still having the same issue. It’s very strange…

Could this be fixed with an update to the Algoriddim app?

Thanks!

You’re welcome @Jordi_Chimi. I have a Numark MixTrack Go and I don’t experience any noticeable delay when using is with my Android device or iOS device. Given that you aren’t having issues when connected to your macOS device, this rules out a problem with the Numark. Most likely this is a limitation with your Xiaomi tablet. Do you have a high-quality, powered USB-C hub that you can use to connect the DJ controller while also charging your tablet? Do you have another Android device you can test?

Is possible to use “Smart fader Echo” and “Smart fader Reverb” on this device?

Hi @BlackJack, not currently. The Smart Fader (Echo) and Smart Fader (Reverb) mappings were added in djay 5.2.6 for the Smart Fader button specifically on the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4. As far as I know, they aren’t part of the Party Mix III mapping.

The Party Mix III does support Crossfader FX which gets you pretty close. Click the dropdown next to the crossfader, pick one of the Echo types, then switch Crossfader FX on. Your echo transitions will now follow the crossfader.

I hope that helps!
