Stanton SCS.1D

[madam]

I have a SCS1D & SCS1M and it works fine with Traktor 2.03 only problem is some platterdrift with scratching.
I bought the set new for 398€ in Holland.

Could you please tell me where did you see this price??
I would be interested to buy

I bought the set at the store Feedback in Hilversum.

Any problems with setup at all with DaRouter or has it been all resolved by now?

No problems with Darouter,i use the standard preset and TSI file in Darouter and Traktor.
Changed some setting in the TSI file like delete the panknobs and replaced them for a filterknob and changed rotary acceleration from 2 to 29.
Scratching sounds good but could be better.

Scratching sounds good but could be better.

I'm interested on buying this equipment,especially for scratching,I've read in forums that the platter had a bad response,then I saw some videos on youtube talking about a new firmware to this scs1d,can anyone tell me if the controller is working fine now?does the platter drift still happen?

Help!?

The response seems to be better in Traktor 2.6 but still not perfect and the platter drift is still there.
In Virtual DJ everthing is much better,there's no platterdrift at all and the response is very fast,another advantage with Virtual DJ is that you don't have to use Darouter,i think that's the reason why it works so much smoother.
If you wanna buy this set to scratch in Traktor i would say don't do it,you will be disappointed or use a turntable with timecode and connect it on the SCS 1M mixer.
Another reason is that Stanton don't give any support so ther's no hope for better drivers.

I still think the Stanton SCS 1D and 1M is a very good product(for the 398€ i paid) and it works good with Traktor but the scratch possibility is dissapointed and that was the reason i bought this set after watching the same video on youtube(Stanton SCS.1D with B-Side) but that guy works for Stanton so i should have know better.

Thanks for the reply
I have a friend who is selling a couple SCS1D for 225€ each,I think it is a good deal,but I guess I'll have to let go...I wanted it specifically for scratching,so I needed a honest reply from a scs1d user,thanks again.

Can't you test the SCS 1D at your friends place.

Guess what?! I went to my friends place for a test,and I felt in love with the SCS1D!the equipment/platter is huge!I have checked the native .tsi from stanton and I edited scratch acceleration from 2% to 0%,and I must say it is flawless!!!I'm almost sure there is no platter drift,like has B.Side said there can be 0.01 drift... when you mentioned that VDJ is better,you got me second guessing about the platter drift, I remember that since Traktor 2.0.3 the MIDI interaction with Traktor is very accurate.
Now I think I'm going to buy one or maybe two!
thanks for the replies audiojunk66,you've been very helpful!

The only possible negative with any Stanton units, is the lack of support.
Just look at the stanton forum (http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/forum/112-stanton/) its DEAD as hell.
The guys have been sent away, and the new guys don't give a f*** for the customers.
No reply on the forum, neither the PM's nor the e-mails sent to them.

The SCS.1 units use to get LCD problems. Some have them right away, some (like mine) just f***s up after a little time. And guess what, Nobody replies what causes this or how could been repaired.

If you buy, then buy locally with 3 years of warranty. And keep the papers in a safe place. Just in case.

But if the one you buy is working, than you are right. They are the best ever controllers on the planet.

But now I started to miss the VDJ skin that Stanton showed on NAMM show.SCS1_NAMM.jpg

I agree with you,it is one of the best controllers I've tried, next to NS7,then NS6, VCIs,Akais...

that sucks about the stanton support...if the brand doesn't care,f**k them!I remember a few years back with my 1st controller BCD2000,it also didn't had support from behringer to work with Traktor3,VDJ,deckadance,etc., I remember I had to use MIDI YOKE and MIDI RULES to workaround the jogwheels problem,then later some computer brain hacker made a workaround for the jogwheels to work OK,maybe if more people know about this great controller,some new hackers might come up with more solutions...it would be great!I would love to edit the preset for Traktor,edit the text stripes for FXs and Triggers, is there a way?
