1.3 The TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 Documentation at a Glance
The Setup Guide
A Setup Guide is available on the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 registration page. It will guide you
through the software and hardware installation of your TRAKTOR KONTROL F1. This should be
your first step before going any further. Find a link to the registration page on the registration
flyer, which is included in your TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 box.
The TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 Manual
That's what you are reading right now! After reading the Setup Guide and following its instruc-
tions, you should be ready to go. The next step is to read this document, the TRAKTOR KON-
TROL F1 Manual. The Manual gives an overview of the Remix Decks and how the F1 is per-
fectly tailored to operate them. Along with the general hardware reference (↑4, TRAKTOR
KONTROL F1 Reference), it also provides a number of step-by-step tutorials and workflows,
which will help you integrate the F1 into your way of DJing (↑3, Tutorials and Workflows).
↑1.3.2, In This Manual will give you an overview of the content of this manual.
The TRAKTOR 2 Manual
For in-depth information on all features provided by the TRAKTOR PRO 2 software (especially
the Remix Decks), please refer to the TRAKTOR 2 Manual. You can access the TRAKTOR 2
Manual via the Open Manual… entry from the Help menu in the TRAKTOR software.
The Controller Editor Manual
Aside from using your TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 hardware controller together with the TRAKTOR
PRO 2 software, you can also use it as a versatile MIDI controller to pilot any other MIDI-capa-
ble application or device. This is made possible by the Controller Editor software, a little appli-
cation that allows you to precisely define all MIDI assignments on your TRAKTOR KON-
TROL F1 controller when operated in MIDI mode (see also ↑4.12, MIDI Mode). The Controller
Editor should have been installed during the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 installation procedure.
