The DECK SELECT button will allow you toggle virtual decks on screen. In this way when you switch virtual decks, the SCS.1d will also change its state to match the on screen deck. By using one physical SCS.1d you can control multiple virtual decks.

The VINYL, CONTROL and BROWSE buttons all modify the motorized jogwheel’s functionality within the application. The motorized platter is normally used for scratching and scrubbing through a song when “VINYL” is activated. However, the Control button allows the platter to be freely used as a large parameter control such as scratching an effect. BROWSE is used to scroll the playlists in applications that support mapping to browser view.

Depending on the control mode the ENTER and CANCEL buttons will allow for expanded functionality with the platter.

SETUP button will allow for adjustments of the overall deck controller. Upon pressing setup you will see the current firmware version. Using the first encoder will allow you to select a value to change; the second encoder will allow you to adjust the value.

Contrast: Adjusts the contrast of the LCD screens.

Torque: Adjusts the torque of the platter to simulate different turntables.

MIDI Ch: Changes the output MIDI channel of the device. It is suggested NOT to change this as presets usually expect the deck to send data from the default MIDI channel.
