[NAMM] Stanton Magnetics C.324

The Stanton C.324 features MP3 and CD audio playback with onboard file and folder browsing, onboard pattern and real-time sequencer for drum machine style performances, seven on board digital effects, and a slot loading CD mechanism with LED for quick loading of CDs into the unit in low light situations. The jog wheel is touch sensitive and allows the DJ to scratch CDs.

The C.324 also boasts trigger pads for real-time sample / loop sequencing. This means that trigger patterns can now be recorded in real time and looped instantaneously, and drum patterns and loops can be manually re-sequenced and then looped again.

The C.324 can record loops and samples, with the length determined by the time setting, wich loops can be beat synchronized based off of the current song’s BPM. Once a beat synchronized loop has been set, it can be trimmed or expanded in real time by beat increment.
