Stanton SCS3 System DJ Controller Package

Manufacturer's Description for Stanton SCS3 System DJ Controller Package

The SC System 3 integrates touch sensitive technology with Native Instrument's award winning Traktor LE software to allow you to interact with your music in ways previously not possible with traditional DJ gear.

The SC System 3 consists of two decks (SCS.3ds) and a mixer (SCS.3m) that have many of the same controls as a traditional two turntable and mixer setup, however they are way more powerful and advanced. At a fraction of the size and weight of a traditional setup and with minimal moving parts, the SC System 3 is a great solution no matter if you are a seasoned veteran or a beginner DJ.

Native Instrument's Traktor LE software perfectly integrates with the SC System 3. The SCS.3 controllers not only allow you to mix between two songs, but also allow you to manage your music collection, loop, add effects, and engage Traktor LE's synchronization engine to help automatically line up two songs without the years of practice required on a traditional vinyl setup.

Because of the tight interaction between the SCS.3 controllers and Traktor LE, everything that happens on screen stays in perfect harmony with the light feedback on the controllers, allowing you to mix in low light environments and focus on your performance with confidence.

The SC System 3
The SCS.3 controllers can all be used separately, or together to give you an unparalleled MIDI control rig that allows you to plug and play anywhere in the world within minutes. With a built-in powered USB hub and magnetic connecting system, the SC System 3 controllers can be easily connected to each other for a high tech version of a full traditional DJ setup... without the weight, size and connectivity issues.

4 Deck Control
The SCS.3m features two channel strips for control of two channels of a software mixer at any one time. However, each channel strip can be switched to control an additional two channels for a total of four channels of control with the 3m, providing a scalable interface while remaining portable at the same time. When switching between decks the 3m will remember which control mode each deck was on (FX or EQ) and will automatically update the sliders to that channel's last settings.

See Me, Feel Me
The SCS.3d's layout and portability provide DJs with an unmatched level of performance and control. The StanTouch(R) 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 mapable functions. Multiple finger touches can even prompt quick kills on EQ's or transform effects on volume.

USB Hub
The built in powered 4-port USB hub can be used to connect additional SCS.3 products to the SCS.3m allowing a single USB cable to be connected to the computer. With 2 ports on the rear of the unit it's possible to connect devices very quickly for fast setups in mobile environments. 2 additional ports on the inside of the back panel of the SCS.3m allow cables to be routed from additional 3 series controllers or storage devices such as flash drives. With a power connection the USB hub ensures that devices receive enough power for complete stability in any performance environment.

Traktor
Every SC System 3 pack comes with the ability to unlock the LE version of Native Instruments' award winning Traktor PRO software. One of the first true Traktor LE controllers, the SC System 3 pack is specifically designed to incorporate full application feedback from Traktor, ensuring complete parity between hardware and software. iTunes(R) integration, broad file compatibility, and an advanced tempo detection / synchronization engine enables you to easily browse your music collection, load a song, sync the decks for an automatic perfect beat match, and start mixing in no time, even without any DJ experience. For the more accomplished DJ, Traktor LE also opens the door to advanced performance techniques such as dropping FX and looping for live remixing.

Hook Me Up
Magnect connection system allows multiple SC System 3 units to securely snap together, creating a larger control surface with increased performance options. And built in wire management means that there won't be a mess of cables to deal with. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Stanton products.
