Faderfox 4midiloop User Manual - page 5
Getting started
• Connect the controller with the USB cable before you start the Traktor software.
• Blinking System Led indicates that the controller is not yet recognized by the computer.
• The controller is recognized by the computer as '4midiloop' or 'USB audio device'.
• Import the Setup File '4midiloopV01.tsi' by clicking the add- button in Traktors Preferences /
Controller Manager and don’t forget to activate the midi- in and midi- out ports for that device.
• Define your basic settings (fader curves, Led brightness etc.) in System Mode. You will find the
description under Functions (Browser Sektion).
• Push Get Monitor State (Cd Mode and Tab button at the same time) to synchronize all Led’s with the
Traktor Software.
• Note: With the Windows operating system there may be audio dropouts (crackling) at high CPU
utilization. Increasing the latency and / or switching the level and phase meters off, reduces audio
dropouts. Native Instruments is aware of the problem and will fix it soon.
