I tried to connect Fusion 7.7 to a Mixtrack using Midi Customize, but the Customize list is 95% defective. Since Numark has a Stealth Midi Custom Template, I replaced the Mixtrack with a Stealth, and selected Stealth as the Custom Midi Template. I think it was coded very poorly. Numark owns Fusion and even has a Fusion logo on its Stealth webpage, but only a Traktor LE mapping list. Here is a Fusion Live Stealth mapping list for dual output mode – or at least a list of the few things that work. If you use Fusion Live with dual output, the faders and jog wheels just do not work, and most of the buttons and knobs are disabled, too. I would be most appreciative of any feedback on this.
NB1: AC POWER ADAPTER IS NOT INCLUDED. IF YOU DO NOT BUY ONE, YOU MUST NAVIGATE TO CONTROL PANEL/DEVICE MANAGER/UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLER/GENERIC USB HUB/POWER MANAGEMENT, AND UNCHECK “ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO TURN OFF THIS DEVICE TO SAVE POWER,” OR STEALTH WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL.
NB2: IF STEALTH IS NOT WORKING, LEARN ONE CUSTOMIZE COMMAND TO A DEAD BUTTON, THEN SELECT STEALTH AGAIN IN THE CUSTOM TEMPLATE. THIS MAY RE-ACTIVATE THE STEALTH TEMPLATE.

4. CUE – The CUE button will return and pause the track at the last set cue point. For temporary play of the cue point, you can hold down the CUE button.

11. EQ – Use these knobs to adjust the levels of the Treble, Mid, and Bass frequencies on each deck. WORKS, BUT ONLY WITH TWO STRIPS ON THE TIMELINE, LEFT ASSIGNED TO TOP TRACK, RIGHT ASSIGNED TO BOTTOM. IF YOU HAVE A FOUR OR MORE STRIPS OR MORE ON THE TIMELINE, EQ WON’T WORK ON ANYTHING AFTER TRACKS 1 AND 2. SO, YOU CAN’T HAVE A TRANSITION WITH AN OVERLAY AND USE EQ ON TRACK 3. ALSO,YOU CANNOT ADJUST NEXT TRACK’S EQ UNTIL CURRENT TRACK IS HALF-FINISHED. Pressing down on an EQ knob makes it function like a 'kill switch,' removing that frequency band from the music on that deck. DEAD.

21. PITCH BEND -/+ – You can use these two pitch bend buttons to temporarily adjust the pitch and tempo of the music playing on the corresponding deck. Pitch bend is typically used to make small adjustments when mixing two tracks so their beats occur synchronously. LEFT: BOTH + AND – SET LOOPS; TAP FOR ONE MEASURE, HOLD FOR TWO.
