4. Turning the power on/off
Before you turn the power on
The KAOSS DJ can be used in one of two
modes: “controller mode” for controlling DJ
software, or “standalone mode” for using the
KAOSS DJ by itself as an audio mixer. Select
the startup mode before you turn the power on.
Selecting the startup mode
Use the startup mode select switch located on
the left side panel to select the startup mode
that you want.
Using the startup mode select switch while the
KAOSS DJ is on does not change the mode. You
must set the startup mode select switch appropri-
ately before you turn on the power.

When in Standalone mode
Turning the power on
The KAOSS DJ does not have a power switch.
The power turns on when you use the included
USB cable to connect the KAOSS DJ to a
computer or to the USB connector of a USB
AC adapter.
Turning the power off
Disconnect the USB cable that was connecting
the KAOSS DJ to a computer or to your USB
AC adapter; the power turns off.
If you connect the KAOSS DJ via a USB hub, it
might not turn on because of insufficient power. In
this case, you should connect the KAOSS DJ
directly to a USB connector on the computer itself.
You must use the included USB cable.
If connecting a USB AC adapter
By using a commercial USB-compatible USB
AC adapter (DC 5V and 550 mA or more), you
can use the KAOSS DJ on its own without a
computer.
You must use a USB 2.0-compatible AC adapter.
However, some USB AC adapters might not work
correctly with the KAOSS DJ even if they meet the
USB specifications.
If using a USB AC adapter, you cannot use the unit
for controlling DJ software.
Using the KAOSS DJ as a controller
In this mode you can use the KAOSS DJ to
control Serato DJ Intro software.
The Kaoss effects built into the KAOSS DJ
can be applied to the songs you play back in
DJ Intro.
In order to control DJ Intro, you must install the
ASIO driver and DJ Intro.
TIP
When you connect the unit to your Windows
computer for the first time, the driver included
in the OS will be installed automatically.
1. Connecting to your com-
puter

mode, and then use the included USB cable to
connect the KAOSS DJ to your computer.
