DJ-KONTROL 3
CONFIGURING VIRTUALDJ
Setting up the DJ-KONTROL3 in VirtualDJ LE is very simple: simply follow the same setup as shown below:
The master output is sent to the rear speaker outputs and the PFL-signal (headphones) is sent to the front
speaker outputs of the internal soundcard.
ASIO-drivers:
If you absolutely want to have extremely low latency (delay), you can also experiment with ASIO-drivers if
you like: in that case you can select “ASIO-
driver” for the soundcard. Since this is out of
the scope of this manual, we will not explain
the configuration of the ASIO-drivers here.
USING OTHER DJ-SOFTWARE
Since this controller is designed as a MIDI-compatible device, you can use it to control any Midi DJ-software.
Of course this means that you will need special MIDI-mapping files for these products. Please check our
website (www.jbsystems.be): we will provide MIDI-mapping files for some other DJ-software free of charge.
VIRTUALDJ TUTORIALS
In the next chapter we give you a brief overview of the functions in VirtualDJ LE that comes with your
controller. VirtualDJ is a very intuitive program so you will easily learn it while trying all possibilities. If you
want to learn more, please check the VirtualDJ website for video tutorials and extra user guides:
