AUDIO 4 DJ – 29

7.2.5 The Control Panel on Mac OS X

On Mac OS X, the Control Panel displays the firmware version, the driver version and the

number of USB streaming errors. It does not provide any options or settings, as these can

be configured from within the audio software you want to use the AUDIO 4 DJ with.

You can access the Control Panel by selecting it from the Mac OS X system preferences.
