SCS Mixer and Deck professional controllers herald a revolution for the digital DJ. Both units are advanced control surfaces that give the laptop DJ new performance abilities and functionality within the MIDI-compatible software of their choice.
Stanton DJ announces the official release of the SC System into retail locations worldwide. The SC System is an innovative set of digital controllers for the professional DJ, comprised of the SCS.1d deck and the SCS.1m mixer. Both units are advanced control surfaces that give the laptop DJ new performance abilities and functionality within the MIDI-compatible software of their choice, while preserving the familiar feel and layout of more traditional equipment. The components of the high-end system can be used standalone or together, allowing for multiple configurations and diverse functionality that goes far beyond the parameters set by traditional DJ gear.
The SC System is the result of years of research in new technologies and user interface design, and unites these elements in an ergonomic and intuitive package. “As a company, we made a commitment to invest in technology that would take DJ performances to the next level,” states Tim Dorwart, CEO of The Stanton Group. “The SCS-1 deck and mixer show our commitment to this market, to the DJ controller paradigm and to our customers, who have been instrumental in providing feedback and input into these products.”
Several new technologies are found in the SC System. Among these are HSS1394, a proprietary high-speed communications protocol developed by Stanton Magnetics and Bome’s Software for the SC System 1 family of products. This groundbreaking innovation allows MIDI messages to be translated and rapidly exchanged via FireWire. HSS1394 solves the need for extremely fast communications from control surfaces to DJ software, and ensures the fastest messaging achievable with hardware while still maintaining the appearance of a standard MIDI device.
To support the hardware’s diverse software compatibility, Stanton has developed a preset library for the System,to popular software applications. The presets will be updated regularly, and are available for free download off the Stanton website.

At least someone has the right idea of developing some solution to increase MIDI speed, its funny because I think Stanton come out with innovate products, if I remember correctly I believe they pioneered the DVS market with Final Scratch a few years back, but then Serato just took it over.......maybe this proprietary technology will become another pioneering standard in the industry?

Honestly, this system is a jaw dropper, when I first heard about it last year I wasn't really keen, but seeing it in action, shows how much potential it has. Depending on the price two of these and the mixer, blows away the NS7, especially if VDJ gets native support..........IMHO
