Installation and Setup
To activate Serato DJ with the Allen & Heath XONE:43C it requires a
Serato DJ license to be purchased and activated on your user account.

DVS playback. You can purchase both products here.

DVS Control
To use the Allen & Heath XONE:43C mixer with DVS control and Serato DJ,
you will rst need to own a Serato DJ licence and a DVS Expansion Pack
licence (these two products have been bundled together as the Club Kit).
Click here to purchase the club kit.
Once you have purchased and activated the Club Kit (or individual licences
separately) follow the steps below to get DVS control working with your
Allen & Heath XONE:43C mixer.
Install Drivers
Connect your mixer and open the latest version of Serato DJ. You should
see an ‘INSTALL DRIVER’ dialogue box appear in the right hand side-
panel. Click ‘INSTALL DRIVER’ and follow the installer prompts. If you don’t
have the supported hardware with you right now you can still download the
driver from the hardware manufacturers website.
Select Input source
Once your turntables or CDJs are connected to the mixer, check that you
are using the correct input setting on the back of the mixer. If you have
connected an analogue source (like turntables), make sure you have the
input set to PH (Phono), if you have connected a digital source (like CDJs)
make sure it is set to LN (Line) accordingly.
Select Primary Decks
Open the SETUP screen and click the AUDIO tab, here you will need to
select your Primary Decks.
Choosing Channel 1 and 2, will allow you to have a traditional 1-2-3-4
channel conguration. Choosing Channel 2 and 3 will allow you to have
a 3-1-2-4 conguration (from left to right across the mixer).
Select which deck conguration you are using with the mixer and change
if necessary. If you notice you are getting signal from your control tone but
on the wrong deck, you might need to double-check your Primary Decks in
the SETUP screen or the physical inputs on the back of the mixer.
You are now set up to use your mixer with Serato DJ and DVS control
using the REL or ABS control modes. See the Serato DJ software manual
for more information on Control Modes.

Using the Tool Tips
Click on the icon to enable Tool Tips. This is located in between the
MIDI and setup button in the top right hand corner of the screen. Tool Tips
provide a handy way to learn the various features of Serato DJ.
Move the mouse over a section of the screen to bring up a context sensitive
tool tip. Holding the mouse over the button with Tool Tips turned on
will show you a list of all keyboard shortcuts.

Recording
To record your mixes with Serato DJ and the XONE:43C you will need to
designate a mixer channel to use for recording. You will not be able to use
this channel in Serato DJ while it is used for recording.
Connect an RCA cable from the Record output on the back of the mixer to
the input of the channel you have nominated. Open the REC panel inside
Serato DJ and select this channel as your recording input. This will record the
software mix.
See the XONE:43C User Guide for more information.
MIDI
The MIDI control feature in Serato DJ provides the ability to map Serato DJ
software functions to MIDI controller functions such as keyboards, triggers,
sliders, and knobs.
Integrating MIDI controllers into your Serato DJ setup can improve live
performance usability, such as hitting pads on a MIDI controller to trigger
Loops or Cue Points. Buttons marked as ‘MIDI mappable’ can be MIDI
mapped the the Serato DJ function of your choice.
For further information on how to MIDI map Serato DJ software functions,
please refer to the Serato DJ manual.
NOTE: You can not change the functionality of other buttons by using the
MIDI control features. You will need to connect a secondary MIDI controller
to take advantage of MIDI control.
