5.1About DaRouter
DaRouter is an application developed between Stanton and Bome’s Software, which allows the SCS.1 devices to specifically integrate and interact with audio applications. DaRouter takes incoming messages coming from a SCS.1 device using a proprietary high speed messaging protocol and translates them to the host target audio application through the form of presets. This translation process allows the unit to change its functionality depending on which mode the unit is in and the desired host application functionality. Every single action on the SCS.1 controllers is processed through DaRouter, which means that as applications evolve, so do presets… More importantly, presets can be created and edited freely with virtually no limit to what SCS.1 controllers can do, thus opening up a whole element in control surface DJing. It is important to constantly check the Stanton website and forums for new presets.
5.2Anatomy of DaRouter
DaRouter is the brains behind interaction between SCS.1 controllers and the application they are being used with. DaRouter is designed to sit in the background and just translate MIDI but does have some functionality to load presets and configure your SCS.1 controllers with DaRouter/Active preset. Before we load a preset, let’s take a quick tour of what everything inside of DaRouter does.
To easily describe DaRouter, we divided its interface in three sections: A, B, and C respectively. (Figure 5.1 )
