AUDIO KONTROL 1 – 5
1. Welcome to AUDIO KONTROL 1!
Thank you very much for choosing AUDIO KONTROL 1! Equipped with high end
digital/analog converters, AUDIO KONTROL 1 combines versatile audio input and
output slots that fit seamlessly into your setup. AUDIO KONTROL 1 also provides
MIDI connection capacities as well as freely assignable controllers on the hardware’s
top panel: It is the tactile interface to your software.
AUDIO KONTROL 1 provides two inputs and four outputs that allow you to use
the hardware flexibly within a variety of setups. For instance, you can connect
a microphone and record a voice, and at the same time you can record a guitar
or trigger virtual instruments with your MIDI keyboard. Alternatively you can use
AUDIO KONTROL 1 to listen to two completely independent stereo signals, a feature
that is needed for DJ applications such as Traktor DJ Studio 3.
The NATIVE INSTRUMENTS software that is included with AUDIO KONTROL 1
provides everything you need to start using your audio interface instantly:
TRAKTOR 3 LE is a fully-featured digital DJ solution. Plug your guitar or bass gui-
tar into AUDIO KONTROL 1’s instrument input and play it through GUITAR RIG LE,
bringing the tone of classic amplifiers and effects to your home studio. Lastly,
KORE PLAYER offers a set of outstanding keyboard instruments – all conveniently
playable from your master keyboard. Moreover, AUDIO KONTROL 1 comes with
Cubase® LE by Steinberg, which provides you with a powerful sequencing and
recording environment.
Last but not least, AUDIO KONTROL 1 offers three buttons and a controller knob
on the hardware’s top panel. You can assign any key command or MIDI message
to actions performed with these elements. This turns AUDIO KONTROL 1 into a
versatile controller that allows you to touch your software, be it one of the included
applications, your favorite sequencer, your graphics software or other media ap-
plications such as Winamp® or iTunes®. Setup files for popular programs ensure
the use of these features is hassle-free.
