DENON DJ DS1

Installation and Setup
The Denon DS1 is class compliant device on Mac OS X, however it
requires drivers on Windows (PC). Please make sure you have the latest
drivers installed from the Denon DJ website.
It is always important to connect the DS1 directly to your computer, rather
than a USB hub. Please also ensure you have installed the latest available
version of Serato DJ which you can download here.
Connect Turntables to the inputs of the Denon DS1 and connect RCAs
from the output of the DS1 to your mixer channel inputs.
Calibration
You will need to calibrate the noise sensitivity in the SETUP screen for any
turntables you have connected. Incorrect calibration for your environment
may result in poor performance or tracking.

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 Serato DJ function of your choice. You will need to
connect a secondary MIDI controller for the MIDI option to become available.
For further information on how to MIDI map Serato DJ software functions,
refer to the Serato DJ software manual.
