Numark’s USB driver was last updated for macOS 10.12 and is Intel-only, so on an Apple Silicon Mac the V7 is a brick. Michael Hadida wrote a userspace driver that shows it as a MIDI device; jog wheel, buttons, lights and the motor work in VirtualDJ, Mixxx and Ableton.

- The README doesn't mention AI. The commit history lists Claude as co-author on 79 of 88 commits.
- caveats
- Control only; the V7's built-in audio isn't implemented yet. Intel Macs untested; Linux and Windows planned. Part of the control map still needs hardware confirmation. Builds on the Ozzy project's work on the Ploytec protocol.

- Public code.
