Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Faderfox controller. The DJ44 is the first member of a new line called
SOLID CONTROL. These devices are designed for live use on stage packed in a covered alu case
with a massive alu faceplate and high quality controls. All Faderfox controllers are professionally
manufactured in small series in Germany, ensuring high quality.
DJ44 is the perfect solution if you want a compact and solid travel-controller for Traktor Pro.
You will find all necessary controls to mix perfectly with two decks using the internal software mixer
and effects of Traktor Pro. The compact size makes it possible to play everywhere you want.
Unpacking the unit is very easy by simply clicking and removing the cover. Extra large keys with a
nice tactile feeling, pots and encoders with rubber knobs and a lot of LEDs and two displays give you
an absolutely ergonomic instrument to rock the dancefloor. Last but not least the unit is also a good
companion for Ableton Live if that is your prefered DJ software. The included short descriptions give
you an overview about all available functions for both Traktor and Live setups. Check it out…
