3.SCS.1d Description

In this chapter, we will briefly describe the top panel of the SCS.1d.

It’s important to understand that the SCS.1d is a traditional DJ turntable / CD player “analogy” in a control surface. This means that while the SCS.1d looks like a DJ turntable / CD player, at its core, it is really a control surface that sends and receives control data to and from a computer. As a control surface, the SCS.1d’s functionality is completely derived from the host application (software) that it is controlling.

The SCS.1d also utilizes presets in DaRouter to define its capabilities, which can drastically change its functionality depending on how the preset is configured. So as we discuss the panel and layout it is important to remember that when running a specific preset its best to read the documentation associated with that preset as it will explain how the SCS.1d is tailored towards the application it is being used with. So in the below explanations we describe the controls and how they traditionally may be mapped into an application.

To easily understand the main SCS.1d Top Panel, we have divided it in six functional groups:

‐Encoder Section

‐Trigger Section

‐Platter / Global Section
