   A Word About Compatability

The CTRL-ONE (and all Gemini products) are designed to interface 

as driverless USB devices. This means that the unit does not require 

proprietary driver software and can be accessed natively by a PC or 

Macintosh computer.

If you are having trouble, please find the compatability advisory sec-

tion of our website, and let us know!  In the vast majority of cases, 

support can be added for sub-standard units that deviate from typi-

cal specifications.

Cleaning the Unit

To clean the CTRL-ONE, use only a dry soft cloth and/or compressed air.  

If the unit is soiled with stubborn dirt, we suggest using a 2:1 solution of 

distilled water and 30% isopropyl alcohol.  Avoid using harsh cleaning 

chemicals such as benzene, paint thinner, bleach, or hydrochloric acid, 

which will damage the unit. 

   Operating Conditions

For  optimum  performance,  the  temperature  of  the  operating  environ-

ment should be between +5º C to +35º C (+41º F - +95º F). Failure to 

maintain proper operating temperature may result in difficulty reading 

the display, thermal overload, or system-wide instability. Avoid exposing 

the unit to direct sunlight.  
When placing the unit in an installation, make sure that it is placed on a 

stable surface, as far away from vibrations as possible.  Even though the 

Gemini is impervious to vibration, the storage devices (specifically hard 

drive based ones) that are designed to be used in conjunction with it are 

typically not.  Also be sure not to place or use the player on heat generat-

ing sources, such as amplifiers or near spotlights.  

The  Gemini  CTRL-ONE  Professional  DJ  USB  controller  is  a 

powerful yet easy-to-use MIDI controller for use with DJ soft-

ware.

The CTRL-ONE gives performers the control and feel of a tradi-

tional mixer/console that can be integrated into a laptop-based 

setup.

   MIDI Control

The CTRL-ONE comes with a total of 46 buttons, 5 faders, and 

18 rotary knobs for use with DJ software.

Place the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. If you have
