19 inch Rack Mounted 16 knob controller

The USB cable is for USB MIDI but is also needed to power the controller when using the 5 Din socket and needs to be plugged into a USB port or a USB plug socket (phone charger plug)

WHEN MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREW AS IT WILL CRUSH THE WOOD
When used with a DAW only set the controller as an input device and not as an output device

Setting the CC number
To set the CC# that a knob controls press and hold the small button located on the top of the box, the display will show "CC-" now move the knob you want to change to the number of the CC you want it to control,
then let go of the button and the display will show 'CC-' then flash the new CC number of that knob,

Example
the cc# number is currently set to 11- expression and you would like to change it to cc number 74 - frequency cut off (filter) you would hold in the small button on top of the box and move the knob/fader until the display shows number 74, you would then release the small button and the display will show CC- then flash 74 and the cc of that knob is now set to 74.

Tip: If you find it difficult to stop on the exact number, for example you are trying to stop on 10 but it only changes between 9 and 11 go to 30+ then back down and you should be able to stop on 10.

Then let go of the small button and the display will show “c” and the new channel number
