Hi there guys, so i was watching some gear on the internet and i noticed that there´s no DJTT review about the SC System of stanton, this controller are a little bit expensive yes, but they have tons of knobs and buttons in a very intresting array.
So Im trying to convince the guys from DJTT to write a review of it i think this units have a lot of potential by themselves but also more if they are modified a custom DJTT .tsi perhaps.
Does anyone here have one of this units or even know them personally?
ive been looking at the system since it came out.
looks awesome to me.
full control over 4 channels, encoders.. buy it refurbished, comes to around $600
i do have these units. They do have amazing potential however traktor does not support them ass hid. This is a majour as it can only have 128 values. This makes advanced scratches almost impossible. Stanton has made some improvements to the firmware however they will never see there true potential till traktor gives them hid support or sombody engineers a way to do it. Appart from thaT good build and response alot of potential. Any other questions be sure to ask and I should be able to answer 99% of them
This past August Stanton released a firmware update that greatly improved the platter support in Traktor PRO, and cleared up some other issues.
The SCS.1 uses HSS1394, a proprietary high-speed communications protocol developed by Stanton Magnetics and Bome’s Software.
Using Stanton DaRouter software (a custom version of Bome’s MT Player) in order in communicate with Traktor PRO or other applications. A beta preset is available for SSL using the .1d and a Ableton Live preset for the .1m. You can also write/code your own presets using Bome’s Midi Translator Pro.

VIRTUAL DJ 7 will support the SCS.1 natively when it is released.
Sound quality is great, it supports 24/96 and has a loud output from its balanced master.
I’m not much of a scratch master so I can’t really help out, but “Imfromthafutur” on the Stanton forums has some youtube clips of him in action with the SCS.1 and SCS.3. He is also on the DJTT forums as “Buckner”.
Here is his latest clip…
You can check my out of date youtube clips here. I will have some updates soon.
Any other questions just ask away, glad to help out.
Mixing just off the 1m mixer is cool. you can do this both in traktor and ableton. the presets are feature rich and well thought out.
what you see in the vid is how it comes after you do the firmware upgrade, nothing special or fancy. and I’m using the infamous richo chipset, so take that!
This is completely false. If it were an absolute message the platter was sending it would be true, but it’s sending a RELATIVE message. There are up to 4000 counts of resolution around the platter. All you need to do to see it is to use the SCS.1d passthrough preset (in the newest DaRouter) and a program like MIDIOX to see that you’re getting MUCH MORE than 128 steps per rotation.
The price drop makes this quite interesting… Is there any way hooking it up with Macbook, which has dropped the Firewire (designed by Apple) from it’s models?
If you’re referring to the units linked by Str8upDrew, those are restocks - which means it’s a returned unit. That said, you’re still getting normal coverage.*
*unless you’re thinking about buying them and then exporting them to another country. In that case, you have no warranty.
Factory Restock minds: "Factory Restock products may have scratches, dents, signs of use or other forms of cosmetic damage that do not affect playability or performance. They may also have worn or non-original packaging.
Factory Restock products may have been returned to the factory by customers or retailers, or they may have failed to pass quality standards during the manufacturing process. In either case, they are repaired and packaged at the factory for resale at a reduced price. Standards of quality vary from one manufacturer to the next."
The question is if they are in really good condition dont you think, i dont doubt in MusicianFriend, but the diference its huge for a refubrished product…
I might think that refubrished isnt Factor restock.
Ok fellas, this ain’t practised, there’s only the camera sound, I just woke up, and as many have pointed out “juggling from looking at the screen” ain’t easy. It’s interesting to me because I like the idea of two scs3m, two scs1d, and the one scs1m. I can envision one 3m as a regular mixer, one 3m as FX+Mixer combined(things like pitch + CF) functions, and then the scs1d as your pre-out/levels mixer.
