4. SCS.1m Software Installation
To fully maximize SCS.1m capabilities and take advantage of its great features, some software needs to be installed with it.
In fact, the SCS.1m Software Installation process differs greatly between Mac and PC computers.
- On a Mac, the SCS.1m is Core Audio compliant, which means that the OS will recognize the SCS.1m without needing
to install a driver. However, on a Mac you will need to install DaRouter for proper MIDI functionality.
- In Windows, an ASIO driver needs to be installed. An ASIO driver allows your audio software to communicate directly
with your SCS.1m without going through the normal operating system processing, which lowers latency, and can give
you higher audio quality (Core Audio acts in the same way as an ASIO driver but without the need for extra software).
To make installation easier for Windows users, we have included the driver installation in the SCS.1 DaRouter
installation, meaning there is still only one installer to run.
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.1m driver and DaRouter. If you are a Mac
user, you do not need to install any driver. You just need to make a few easy settings in the Audio MIDI Setup applet and
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:

So, let’s follow the specific instructions for each platform.
