The Dream Deck for Laptop DJs
Designed from the ground up for high-precision software control, the SCS.1d
Deck is a dream-come-true for laptop DJs. Based upon the popular layout of
the C.304, as well as extensive input from top DJs, this deck’s interface is
both comfortable and practical — providing a host of “world’s rst” features
at your ngertips. Even better, it ships with a real vinyl disc to provide an
extremely natural feel, right out of the box.
Specically, the SCS.1d offers a tight grip over your music through a high-torque
10” motorized platter, transport controls, navigation keys, rotary encoders, a
motorized pitch slider, and a trigger section. Unlike the SCS.1m Mix Controller, the
SCS.1d Deck does not offer any direct audio connectivity; all audio I/O remains at
the mixer or external soundcard. What the SCS.1d does offer is the best tracking
and most intuitive ergonomics of any product in its class — by far.
High-Torque Motorized Platter
Central to the amazing SCS.1d is an enhanced version of the award-winning
motorized platter from the Stanton T.120 and STR8-150 turntables. This is one
of the world’s most trusted platter designs, proven through thousands of hours of
use by DJs the world over. To be specic, this is a 4.5 Kgf-com, 16-pole, 3-phase
brushless DC motor. What that means to you is super-fast .2 second spin up and
stop speeds. The motor can also be adjusted to simulate the feel of both super high-
torque motors and commonly used low-torque designs.
Unbeatable Resolution
The SCS.1d’s high resolution (over one thousand counts per rotation) vinyl tracking
system allows for super-accurate mixing and scratching. This system assures that
every nuance is captured in real time, and works around the same principles as an
optical mouse — so it never wears out. Unlike digital vinyl systems, the SCS.1d’s
tracking is completely error-free (whereas digital vinyl systems have problems at
slow speed). And because there’s no interpretation of timecode signal, there’s no
delay between your movement and your software.
Encoders, Navigation, and More
Much like the SCS.1m, the SCS.1d Deck features four assignable rotary encoders
with bright LED rings to control various aspects of your software. Underneath each
encoder is an LCD “scribble strip” to let you know what parameter you’re tweaking
without looking up from the deck. With six control presets for each knob, this is
the equivalent of having 24 assignable knobs — built right into your deck! Similar
exibility is built into both the SCS.1d’s Navigation section, with its jog wheel for
precise control, and Deck selection, which quickly banks between different global
settings. In this way, the SCS.1d is like having many “virtual turntables” at your
disposal; a single button press is all it takes to switch from one deck to the “next.”
Motorized Pitch Slider
The pitch slider on the SCS.1d is not only 100mm long for super-smooth pitch
adjustments, but it’s also motorized, so your deck “remembers” its settings as you
switch between decks or presets.
Trigger Pads
Directly underneath the SCS.1d’s motorized platter is its assignable Trigger section.
Comprised of four velocity-sensitive pads, this section can be used to play loops
and samples during performance, or for triggering any other MIDI messages to
your software. Using these trigger pads in conjuction with the platter provides wild
creative possibilities never before possible. While simple in operation, the expressive
possibilities are almost endless.
