STANTON™ FinalScratch® 2 - the latest innovation in digital DJ technology. This complete package lets you play digital music files from any analog turntable or CD player with ultra-natural feel and response, whether cueing, mixing or scratching.

Extended information

FINALSCRATCH® 2 is a groundbreaking hardware-software combination that allows digital music files on a computer to be controlled and mixed live using a conventional DJ setup (2 turntables and a mixer).

The system integrates smoothly into every classic DJ setup and equips DJs perfectly for mixing digital files, or even mixing vinyl records and digital music files simultaneously.

The DJ controls the digital music files on the computer using special timecode-embedded records that can be played on normal turntables.
Pitching, cueing, spinning, start-stop and even scratching are all possible, just like classic DJ mixing: the digital files on the computer respond precisely to the actions of the turntables. This makes FinalScratch 2 an ideal combination for DJs who love the old school analog, hands-on feeling but are also looking to integrate digital music files into their mixes - an invaluable asset when testing your latest productions in a club.
