 Stanton Introduces SC System Digital ControllersStantonPosted 2009-04-01 The Stanton SC System is the company's new set of digital controllers for
the professional DJ. It is comprised of the SCS.1d deck and the SCS.1m
mixer; both advanced control surfaces that give the digital DJ an entirely
new level of performance ability and functionality, while preserving the
comfortable feel and familiar layout of more traditional equipment. Each
component of the system (mixer and deck) can be used standalone or
together, allowing for multiple configurations, with clean lines drawn
between the functions of each unit. This system boasts a premium feature
set including built-in FireWire (tm) connections, a high-torque motorized
platter with vinyl control disc, motorized fader, rotary encoders, massive
flexibility, and integration into DJ software with advanced two-way
feedback.
The Stanton C.324 is designed for digital DJs who want to scratch CDs like
vinyl, and has all the latest components needed for ultimate performance.
It 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 sleek slot loading CD
mechanism with LED for quick loading of CDs into the unit in low light
situations.
The C.324 has added responsive trigger pads that offer real-time sample /
loop sequencing. This means that trigger patterns can now be recorded in
real time and looped instantaneously. Drum patterns and loops can be
manually re-sequenced and then looped to bring a completely new twist to
live DJ remixing. Using the C.324, sequences can be created in seconds
compared to minutes using drum machines.
The C.324 can record loops and samples, with the length determined by the
time setting. This new feature makes it easy to set up seamless loops.
The C.324 also allowed for the creation of beat synchronized loops based
off of the current song's BPM. This means that a perfectly timed seamless
loop can be set on-the-fly with one press of a button. Once a beat
synchronized loop has been set, it can be trimmed or expanded in real time
by beat increment. By trimming the beat, a one bar loop can be turned into
a 1/2 bar loop, 1/4 note or 1/8th note. Smaller loops can be expanded in
the same fashion.
