Stanton launches SCS.3d DaScratch controller

DaScratch, a.k.a. the SCS.3d, is the latest innovation in the Stanton SC System control surface line. Revolutionary and compact, this controller is a necessity for any digital DJ looking for ultimate control over their software of choice. DaScratch’s compact and sleek profile makes it a space-friendly addition to any existing DJ gear set-up or can stand on its own as a complete controller solution.

What makes this guy different from your average controller?
Stanton’s StanTouch® technology allows you to use traditional DJ-style motions and gestures on a touch-pad style surface to take full control over music and software applications such as Traktor DJ Studio™, Traktor Scratch™, Ableton Live™, Serato Scratch Live™, or any other MIDI compatible software. Minimal moving parts ensure durability from gig to gig.

– See Me, Feel Me
DaScratch’s layout and portability provide DJs with an unmatched level of performance and control. The StanTouch™ interface can be used for scratching, scrubbing, and navigating through digital audio. The tactile buttons, triggers, and virtual faders can also control
samples, pitch, effects, cue and loop points, and other mappable functions. Multiple finger touches can even prompt quick kills on EQ’s or transform effects on volume.

– Hook Me Up
Magnect® connection system allows multiple DaScratch units to securely snap together, creating a larger control surface with increased performance options.

– Teach Me
DaRouter® software gives DaScratch a little brain of its own, allowing customized support for a variety of applications. A complete list of supported current applications is available at http://www.enterthesystem.com/system/scs3d/. A preset library is also available on the Stanton® website to ensure tight integration with individual software applications
