SCS.1
Software
Installation
Before
installing
the
SCS1
software
(DaRouter
and
drivers)
make
sure
you
follow
these
guidelines:
1)
Windows:
Do
NOT
connect
the
SCS.1
controller(s)
until
prompted
by
the
driver
installer.
2)
Windows:
When
intending
to
use
multiple
SCS.1
controllers
at
once
(mixer
+
decks)
make
sure
you
connect
ALL
the
devices
during
the
driver
installer.
3)
Always
check
the
Stanton
website
(listed
below)
for
the
latest
drivers
and
firmware.
To
fully
maximize
SCS.1
capabilities
and
take
advantage
of
its
great
features,
some
software
needs
to
be
installed
with
it.
In
fact,
the
SCS.1
Software
Installation
process
differs
greatly
between
Mac
and
PC
computers.
‐
On
a
Mac,
the
SCS.1d
is
a
class
compliant
FireWire
device,
which
means
that
it
will
connect
to
the
system
without
drivers,
however,
because
the
SCS.1d
uses
a
proprietary
high
speed
MIDI
system
it
is
necessary
to
install
DaRouter
to
communicate
with
the
SCS.1d
and
create
a
virtual
MIDI
port
for
the
host
application
to
receive
MIDI
messages
through.
On
the
Mac
you
will
simply
need
to
install
DaRouter,
connect
the
unit(s)
and
start
using
your
desired
preset.
‐
In
Windows,
a
high
level
FireWire
driver
must
be
installed
to
communicate
with
the
SCS.1d.
Once
this
driver
is
installed
the
SCS.1d
and
can
communicate
with
DaRouter.
Upon
installing
DaRouter,
both
the
FireWire
and
virtual
MIDI
port
driver
are
installed.
It
is
important
to
not
connect
the
SCS.1d
until
prompted.
It
is
also
important
to
connect
all
units
that
will
be
used
when
installing
the
driver
(if
using
multiple
SCS.1d’s
or
with
a
SCS.1m).
In
either
case,
(Mac
or
PC)
the
DaRouter
software
needs
to
be
installed.
This
software
acts
as
an
intermediary
between
your
SCS.1
controllers
and
your
performance
software,
intercepting
and
processing
MIDI
messages
before
sending
them
out
to
your
application
of
choice.
This
process
takes
less
than
a
millisecond,
and
gives
you
some
amazing
power.
Not
only
does
it
allow
you
to
quickly
change
the
MIDI
output
of
the
SCS.1
controllers
(by
switching
presets),
it
also
allows
for
logic
‐
based
programming
that
your
performance
software
may
or
may
not
be
capable
of
performing.
This
means
that
it
is
actually
possible
to
add
or
change
some
functionality
in
your
software
of
choice.
This
can
be
as
simple
as
adding
MIDI
data
to
an
application
that
does
not
normally
support
it,
to
totally
changing
the
behavior
of
a
given
control.
In
short,
if
you
are
a
PC
user,
you
will
run
one
installer
that
will
install
the
SCS.1
driver
and
DaRouter.
If
you
are
a
Mac
user,
you
do
not
need
to
install
any
driver
but
you
must
install
DaRouter.
Before
walking
through
specific
installation
procedures
for
Mac
and
PC,
you
will
need
to
download
the
latest
version
of
DaRouter
from
the
Stanton
website:
www.enterthesystem.com/scs1
So,
let’s
follow
the
specific
instructions
for
each
platform.
