1.2Overview

The SCS.3m is an exciting performance mix controller that allows you to interact with your music software by sliding, tapping, pressing, and switching on its surface… This is possible thanks to StanTouch® (Stanton’s touch-sensitive technology) and DaRouter® (software that essentially “talks” with your DJ, DAW, or audio application and morphs the SCS.3m functionality).

The SCS.3m not only allows you to control up to 4 virtual decks, change parameters, control effects, change volume and EQ’s, but also allows you to engage an FX in one deck while EQ is running on the other. Also, the SCS.3m is extremely portable and features an integrated powered USB hub, (plus the ability to be bus powered), meter indicators, instantaneous led feedback, and much more… So let’s summarize the main SCS.3m features:

•StanTouch controller - it offers a simple tactile way to control sliders and change data or control effects automation

•Multi-touch sliders - it allows you to make fast transitions and develop new performance techniques

•Inspired on a traditional mixer layout, enabling 3-band EQ, cross fading, level setting, FX control and master/cue functions

•4-deck support - it controls up to 4 unique decks or tracks in a DJ software

•Traktor LE serial number included! - Traktor LE is based on the award-winning Traktor PRO DJ software and offers everything you need to mix inspired sets.

•The SCS.3m can be used as standalone or as the perfect SCS.3d companion

•USB class-compliant - no driver required for Mac® or PC computers

•Standard MIDI messages - the SCS.3m can be easily integrated with most DJ, DAW, and audio applications such as Ableton™ Live, PCDJ®, MixVibes®, and Traktor PRO. (Mac and PC compatible). DaRouter compatibility adds provisions for additional application specific logic.

•Integrated powered USB hub - up to 4 USB devices can be plugged in

•Ability to be bus powered

•Small footprint - the SCS.3m easily blends into your actual setup, thanks to its small size and flexible routing capabilities

•Portability - the SCS.3m is easy to carry and can be used hand-held, if desired
