Stanton NEW SCS.3 System

By combining two of the Revolutionary SCS.3d controllers with the new SCS.3m MIDI mixer, plus including Native Instrument’s Traktor LE software — Stanton has put together the most popular SCS.3 configuration — all in one box ready to go.

Here’s what some SCS.3 users are saying:

	“The SCS.3 is amazing! It’s taken my creativity to a whole new level and really simplified a lot of the functions I’m used to using on my laptop. Using the SCS.3d is so simple and natural and I really couldn’t use anything else. I use the controllers EVERYWHERE I play including on air. It helps me manipulate my drops and loop at the drop of a dime.” DJ Irie, Internationally renowned DJ and official DJ to the Miami Heat and featured in USA Today, Access Hollywood, MTV, ESPN Magazine, and Playboy Magazine.
	“I love these controllers. It’s become a core part of my performance. I’m primarily using them with Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro, but I do use them with M-Audio’s Torq as well. They are easily set up, and I love the immediate response I get using them. I’ve been through several MIDI controllers, and these are the best yet. Visually, they are stunning as well. The past few times I’ve performed with them, a crowd has formed to see what’s going on. They’ve definitely made the visual aspect of my DJ performance a bit “sexier”, but the most important factor for me is the instant gratification I get… thanks to the StanTouch technology.” Stryke, has had Billboard chart successes and has collaborated with top international artists. His residencies have included nights at clubs such as the legendary Edge, Warsaw, Maze, & Nocturnal, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
	“I started using the SCS.3d because it was something new and seemed interesting and different. It’s provided me with a powerful and compact solution in a midi controller that can change the way it works whenever I do. It’s also been designed to eliminate knobs, faders and buttons that can break off… so I don’t have to be as concerned with it getting damaged going from gig to gig and traveling around stuffing it in and out of bags all the time. The MIDI possibilities beyond generic mapping seem to be amazing as well… I can’t wait to wrap my head around that and get a little deeper with what I can make it do. Also, the touch-sensitive technology is different than any other midi controller I have ever used. Small, compact, reliable, durable and flexible in functionality is a must when you travel a lot and that is exactly what the SCS.3 System is.” Big Wiz is one of the industry’s most respected and talented DJs. He has worked with several bands/groups and solo artists over the years on stage and in the studio from some of first groups on Rap-A-Lot records to current Def Jux recording artists Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic.

Here’s what you get with the system:

Two SCS.3d Controllers
The SCS.3d, aka DaScratch®, is a revolutionary new control surface and USB-MIDI controller that combines fast response, easy customization, and a compact form factor to create an ideal instrument for any digital DJ looking for total control over their software. Small and portable, DaScratch makes a space-friendly and complete standalone controller solution, or a great addition to any existing DJ gear set-up. DaScratch marks the introduction of Stanton’s StanTouch® technology, which allows DJs to use traditional performance motions and gestures on a touch-pad style surface. The StanTouch interface is highly responsive to popular functions such as scratching, scrubbing, and navigating through digital audio files. In addition, tactile buttons, triggers, and virtual faders are able to control samples, pitch, effects, cue and loop points, and other mappable functions. Multiple finger touches can also prompt quick kills on EQ’s or transform effects on volume.

SCS.3m Mix Controller
The SCS.3m is a portable new MIDI controller with a unique control surface that emulates the layout of a traditional two channel mixer, but is completely touch-sensitive. The SCS.3m incorporates all of the functions of a two channel DJ mixer, plus a host of new performance features made possible by Stanton’s unique touch sensitive control surface. The touch sensitive sliders can be used to tweak EQs, allowing DJs to bring in different elements of a song during a mix, or instantly switch the sliders to control FX parameters within Traktor LE. The wide, touch-sensitive crossfader allows for seamless slow blends between decks, but is also able to detect multiple finger presses, allowing for quick transform effects all in one control surface. The multicolor buttons can easily perform transport controls for starting and stopping playback, setting loops, doing EQ kills, or engaging effects without requiring a separate trigger controller. All of the visual indicators stay 100% in sync with applications supporting MIDI feedback, allowing for clear indication of the software settings and positions in low light situations.

The SCS.3m is designed to interface seamlessly with Traktor’s internal mixer, and incorporate full application feedback from Traktor, ensuring complete parity between hardware and software. iTunes® integration, album art support, and broad file compatibility allow for unparalleled music collection browsing and management, so finding and organizing tracks is quick and simple. An advanced tempo detection / synchronization engine enables the DJ to sync the decks for an automatic beat match once music has been loaded into the virtual deck eliminating the traditional challenges of lining up two songs for a mix. For the more accomplished DJ, Traktor LE also opens the door to advanced performance techniques such as dropping FX and looping for live remixing.

With a built-in powered USB hub, the SCS.3m can also be connected to one or more SCS.3d controllers, offering up a high tech version of a full traditional DJ setup, without weight, size and connectivity issues. Additionally, special custom presets for other popular DJ applications are available for free download on the Stanton website.

Using only the SCS.3m, SCS.3d, and Traktor LE, a complete DJ rig with performance control features that surpass the capabilities of traditional mixer/deck equipment can be setup anywhere in the world within minutes.
