About the driver software and setting utility software

This unit functions as an audio device conforming to the ASIO standards.

Using the settings utility software

This function can only be used by those using a Windows operating system.Launching the settings utility software

Click the Windows [Start] menu>[All Programs]>[Pioneer]>[DDJ]>[DDJ ASIO Settings Utility].

Adjusting the buffer size

In the same way as the buffer size setting in the Serato DJ software, decreasing the value of the [Kernel Buffers] setting lowers the transfer delay (latency) of the audio data, while increasing the value reduces the tendency for dropouts in the audio data (breaks in the sound).

The setting at [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ soft- ware’s [SETUP] menu has priority for the buffer size. (The default setting is 512 samples/10 ms.)

!For details on making the settings on the DJ software, see the Serato DJ software manual.

!If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops in the data (breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time lag due to transmission delays in the audio data (latency) increases.

If breaks in the sound occur with the default setting1Launch [DDJ ASIO Settings Utility] and change [Kernel Buffers] to [4].

2Set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software to the minimum buffer size at which no breaks in the sound occur.

If no breaks in the sound occur with the default setting

1Set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software to the minimum buffer size at which no breaks in the sound occur.

2Launch [DDJ ASIO Settings Utility], change [Kernel Buffers] to [2], and check that no breaks in the sound occur.

3If no breaks in the sound occur, set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software to the minimum buffer size at which no breaks in the sound occur. If breaks in the sound do occur, change [Kernel Buffers] in the [DDJ ASIO Settings Utility] to [3].
