Many devices can connect to a computer using MIDI over USB, and will either be supported directly by your operating system or require an installation of drivers. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.

Older controllers may use a MIDI out connector to send control messages, and will require a separate MIDI interface unit to communicate to software. Generally, the MIDI interface will come with drivers and configuration tools which pass your controller's output onto an available MIDI channel, which can be used by Serato DJ.
