Note: For the best performance, if no inputs are in use, set the Inputs to Disabled by "clicking" on
the ASIO Driver Interface. Your inputs and outputs can be set to channels 1-16, but your software
may not support the ASIO stream of the channel numbers. Check the software manual to make
sure it does.
8 Out Mode: This mode supports 4 USB audio inputs. Perfect for using it with software that has 3-4
decks. This will also route your master output via USB for recording USB audio or analog inputs.
MIDI LATENCY MODES
There are two MIDI Latency modes; Normal mode and Turbo mode. Normal mode has MIDI Latency
of 10 milliseconds, this is the default mode. Turbo mode has a MIDI latency of 1 millisecond.

Before powering on press and hold the CUE, PLAY, and PAUSE buttons on the left side.
Hold the buttons until channel volume level indicatorS (7) light up with the code version.
See page 11 CHANNEL VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS for information on the code version.
It is recommended that you use the default mode if your computer does not meet the recommend-
ed system requirements or are using Windows Vista. It is also strongly recommended that you close
all programs running in the background, this will free up RAM and minimize CPU process. If you are
using a laptop, turn off your wireless card if possible since this may cause sound problems. Allow
your computers hard drive to have at least 20% free space.
