3. SCS.1d Description
In this chapter, we will briefly describe the top panel of the SCS.1d.
It’s important to understand that the SCS.1d is a traditional DJ turntable / CD player “analogy” in a control surface.
This means that while the SCS.1d looks like a DJ turntable / CD player, at its core, it is really a control surface that
sends and receives control data to and from a computer. As a control surface, the SCS.1d’s functionality is
completely derived from the host application (software) that it is controlling.
The SCS.1d also utilizes presets in DaRouter to define its capabilities, which can drastically change its functionality
depending on how the preset is configured. So as we discuss the panel and layout it is important to remember that
when running a specific preset its best to read the documentation associated with that preset as it will explain how
the SCS.1d is tailored towards the application it is being used with. So in the below explanations we describe the
controls and how they traditionally may be mapped into an application.
3.1 Top Panel Functional Groups
To easily understand the main SCS.1d Top Panel, we have divided it in six functional groups:
‐ Encoder Section
‐ Trigger Section
‐ Platter / Global Section
‐ Pitch Section
‐ Transport Section
‐ Preset Switcher Section
