AUDIO KONTROL 1 – 47
That was it on the hardware side. On the software side, the operating system needs
to use the AUDIO KONTROL 1 as its default interface, as Winamp® and iTunes®
are simply relying on the operating system’s settings. The necessary steps to set
up AUDIO KONTROL 1 as your default audio interface are described in sections
4.3.2 (Windows®) and 4.3.3 (Mac®).
Now we want to load the right
Controller Page
:
Bring the
Mapping Application
to the front in your operating system.
In the
Page Select Menu
, choose “Winamp” (Mac®: “iTunes”).
That’s all; everything is now set up to control your audio player from the
AUDIO KONTROL 1 hardware top panel.
From now on, you will have the following controls via the
Controller Knob
and the
three
Buttons
.
With
no Button pressed
:
The Controller Knob controls the volume.
The Left Button doesn’t do anything (see below).
The Middle Button is the Start Button.
The Right Button is the Pause/Continue Button.
With the
Left Button pressed
:
The Controller Knob can be used to rewind or forward the current track.
The Middle Button switches to the previous track in your playlist.
The Right Button switches to the next track in your playlist.
After a few minutes, you will find that the Remote Control is much more efficient
than grabbing your mouse or your keyboard to perform the same actions in the
software, notably because you don’t need to bring the target application to the front
before executing the commands from the AUDIO KONTROL 1 hardware.
As always, you are of course absolutely free to compose other Controller Pages
according to your wishes.
