Configuring Traktor 2 Pro for the DJ Console Mk4 (OS X version)

(Updated: April 2014 for version 2.68)

1- Configuration of the MIDI channel

From the DJ Console control panel, go to the ADVANCED tab, and make sure that MIDI channel is
set to 1.

This is very important as the TSI profile provided is configured for the DJ Console Mk4 to work on
this channel.

If you have multiple MIDI controllers, or would like to use the DJ Console on a different MIDI
channel, you will need to modify the TSI profile accordingly. Consult Traktor’s user manual for more
details.
