Stanton SCS.4DJ user manual PLAY/PAUSE Button, CUE Button, Platter JOG Wheel, Scratch Button

1. USB CONNECTOR (type A) (RIGHT SIDE OF UNIT ONLY)

This connector is used to attach the USB (1.1 or 2.0) mass storage device containing your song library. Suitable mass storage devices include: external hard drives, flash drives, portable digital music players, memory card readers, and USB hubs.

2. PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to play the song at the current location, and again to pause at the current location.

3. CUE BUTTON

The CUE Button lets you practice your mixes in advance by playing sections of the audio without having to engage full playback with the PLAY/PAUSE button. During normal playback, pressing this button immediately moves the play position of the track to the last set cue point and pauses playback when released. Pressing CUE again will engage the CUE PLAY function, which plays the track from the cue point until you release the CUE button. If you press PLAY/ PAUSE at any time other than the currently stored cue point, pressing CUE will reset the cue point to the new position.

4. PLATTER (JOG WHEEL)

The touch-sensitive top portion of the PLATTER (JOG WHEEL) is made to feel and function like a real vinyl turntable and, the outer non-slip PLATTER bump ring for pitch bending provides ultimate in response control. The PLATTER has multiple functions:

a.When playing or paused in SCRATCH mode, the PLATTER can be used as a frame search control, allowing you quickly search through a song. Holding down the SCRATCH button, the wheel is used for high-speed FAST FORWARD/REWIND SEARCH.

b.Without the SCRATCH button engaged, the PLATTER works as a pitch bend, similar to a “push” or a “drag” on a turntable. Turning the PLATTER counterclockwise temporarily slows down the playback speed according to the speed, velocity, and duration of the platter rotation. Turning the PLATTER clockwise temporarily speeds up the playback speed. Pitch will return to the current setting when the wheel stops.

c.When in SCRATCH mode, the PLATTER acts just like a vinyl turntable, moving the song position forward or back in response to your movements. The outer non-slip PLATTER bump ring still performs the pitch bend function.

d.TOUCH REWIND mode is similar to SCRATCH mode, except playback returns to the Cue point anytime the top portion of the platter (which is touch-sensitive) is touched. The outer non-slip PLATTER bump ring still performs the pitch bend function.

5. SCRATCH BUTTON

Enables the touch sensitive PLATTER to respond like a turntable and allow the “Scratching” of your audio. Most Hip Hop/Scratch DJ’s will want this button the majority of the time. During normal play mode, touching the platter will pause playback, and moving the platter forward or backward will create scratch sounds. Holding down the scratch button and moving the PLATTER engages the Fast-Forward/Rewind function of the player.

6. TOUCH REWIND BUTTON

This function enables you to touch the PLATTER non-rubberized center section to quickly return to your set CUE POINT instantly, enabling rapid return to a CUE POINT for scratch effects (as the TOUCH REWIND button also turns on the SCRATCH BUTTON). Touching and releasing the jog wheel once will return playback to the last marked CUE POINT, letting you quickly return to a cue point or rapidly trigger a sample/song portion.
