Setup

1. Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the

power cord from the AV outlet.

2. We recommend to use high quality shielded audio cables when connecting input/output
devices as it makes a huge difference in sound reproduction quality.

3. Do not use excessively long cables. Be sure the plugs and jacks are securely fastened.
Loose connections cause hum, noise or intermittence that can damage your speakers.

4. Connecting to a computer – the controller will be automatically recognised by both
Windows based PC / Laptops operating Windows XP SP2 or later and MAC O/S 10.4 or
later as a generic MIDI controller without the need to install drivers (Note the DB
software only works with Windows based operating computers). You can then use any DJ
software with MIDI mapping features to program in the functions to operate on screen
(See Page 20)

7. FADER START – These ON/OFF switches activate the FADER START function for each
channel. When activated the CROSSFADER can be used to stop and start a track
automatically. EG: If the CROSSFADER is in position CH1, the CH2 cued track will
automatically start playing. If the CROSSFADER is then moved back to CH1, CH2 will
stop playing and go back to the last cued point.

8. CROSSFADER – This fader is used to blend the output signals of CHANNELS 1 and 2
together. When the fader is in the full left position, the output signal of CHANNEL 1 will
be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for
CHANNEL 2. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of
channels 1 and 2 respectively. When the CROSSFADER is set in the centre position, the
output signals of both the CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 2 will be even.

9. CF CURVE – Allows you to adjust the “shape” of the CROSSFADER response from a
gentle curve for smooth long running fades, to the steep pitch required for top
performance cut and scratch effects.

10. LEVEL METER – The dual LED’s indicators are used to detail either the master output

CC-RELATIVE (ENC)TYPE

Control Change messages are status 0xBn, where n is the channel, for the specified CC controller.
Thus the controller MIDI ID is indicated with the channel along with the CC number. The value
from 0x40 to indicate the change in the controller. This is an offset to 0x40 “one’s complement”
notation.
A message with data 0x43 indicates a positive change of 3.
A messages with data 0x31 indicates a negative change of 15.

SWITCH ON/OFF (SW,CENTER TYPE)

These messages are used for switches.
Control Change messages are sent with status 0x9n, SWITCH On and Off value are 0x7F and
0x00, where n is the channel.

LED ON/OFF (LED TYPE)

These messages are used for LED.
Control Change messages are sent with status 0x9n, LED On and Off value are 0x7F and 0x00,
where n is the channel.
