Stanton Magnetics DaScratch Controller

DaScratch, a.k.a. the SCS.3d, is the latest innovation in the Stanton SC System control surface line.

Stanton’s StanTouch® technology allows you to use traditional DJ-style motions and gestures on a touch-pad style surface to take full control over music and software applications such as Traktor DJ Studio™, Traktor Scratch™, Ableton Live™, Serato Scratch Live™, or any other MIDI compatible software. Minimal moving parts ensure durability from gig to gig.

The StanTouch™ interface can be used for scratching, scrubbing, and navigating through digital audio. The tactile buttons, triggers, and virtual faders can also control samples, pitch, effects, cue and loop points, and other mappable functions. Multiple finger touches can even prompt quick kills on EQ’s or transform effects on volume.

Magnect® connection system allows multiple DaScratch units to securely snap together, creating a larger control surface with increased performance options.

DaRouter® software gives DaScratch a little brain of its own, allowing customized support for a variety of applications. A complete list of supported current applications is available at www.StantonDJ.com/DaScratch . A preset library is also available on the Stanton® website to ensure tight integration with individual software applications

USB connection for easy plug and play connection to your software. Class compliant with Windows XP, Vista and Mac OSX to ensure that drivers are never needed. Bus powered by design to ensure that no external power or batteries need to be used.
