This DJ controller includes a 2 channel sound card with balanced XLR outputs (+ unbalanced RCA) and a microphone input. This controller works with USB cable connected only, but for better stability, it's recommend to use the external 5V 1A Poweradapter as well.

Usage

Download the Mapping .zip file from the Forum Thread (above), unzip it and copy the two files (.js / .xml) to your Mixxx controllers folder.

  • Linux: ~/.mixxx/controllers
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mixxx\controllers
  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Mixxx/controllers

Start Mixxx

  • On some Linux systems, Pulseaudio blocks the driver for Mixxx, so you have to start Mixxx via Terminal with:
  • pasuspender mixxx

In Mixxx goto:

  1. Options->Preferences->Sound Hardware:
  • Sound API: ALSA
  • Sample Rate: 48000Hz
  • Output / Master / JB Systems DJ-Kontrol 3: USB Audio / Channels 3 - 4
  • Output / Headphones / JB Systems DJ-Kontrol 3: USB Audio / Channels 1 - 2
  1. Options->Preferences->Controllers:
  • check: Enabled
  • Load Preset for this controller

Now the controller should work with Mixxx!
