1. Introduction
1.1 Welcome to the SCS.1m!
Thank you for purchasing SCS.1m! The SCS.1m ( S tanton C ontrol S ystem 1 m ixer) is the premier mixer control surface/audio
interface for laptop DJs, remixers, VJs, and producers.
Before we begin, there are a few important issues we would like to bring to your attention.
There is a software component to this hardware. It is called DaRouter. DaRouter is a kind of “MIDI processor” that allows
the use of presets. These presets can be application specific mappings, or generic maps that can be applied to a number of
different software packages. In fact, you may already be familiar with the DaRouter software because it is also used with
our SCS.3 line of controllers. Well, DaRouter is even more important for the SCS.1 controllers than it is for the
SCS.3 controllers. This is because the DaRouter software for the SCS.1 controllers also contains the driver for them. So it is
important for you to go to
http://www.enterthesystem.com/scs1 to download and install the latest DaRouter software.
This single software package gives you the latest presets and the latest version of your driver. Be sure to keep your DaRouter
software updated so you can take advantage of new presets and features as they become available!
This brings us to the next important issue. Please do not connect the SCS.1 hardware to your computer before you go
through the driver install . Most audio interface installers, FireWire or USB, carry the same warning. We know that when
you buy new gear, most people are excited to hook it all up and see what it can do, but in this case, it is better to wait until
you are prompted. The process will go like this…
• You should connect the power to your SCS.1m and locate the FireWire connector, but do not connect it to the
computer yet.
• Download and run the DaRouter installer for the SCS.1m. This installer is located at
www.enterthesystem.com/scs1
• A dialog box will open telling you to connect and power up your SCS.1m. At this point, connect the FireWire cable
to your computer, then turn the unit ON.
The driver will then detect the SCS.1 devices connected to your computer and load the drivers for them. Allow the installer
to continue normally. Following these steps is a good idea for any hardware installation you have, and might save you from
possibly having to troubleshoot a problem later.
Finally, we would like to point out that the descriptions of specific functionality of the SCS.1m are generic.
The SCS.1m is a MIDI controller combined with an audio interface. Although it
looks like an audio mixer, it in fact is not.
The functionality of a given control on the surface of the SCS.1m (like the crossfader for example) is dependent on what it
is assigned to. Likewise, the audio inputs and outputs may change depending on how you’re using the SCS.1m
(the Booth output could be the booth output in one program, and a recording output in another). We had to start
somewhere, so we thought it would be best to describe the functionality of the generic preset. When you are using other
presets, you can click on the
Preset Documentation button in DaRouter (it’s the “?” button) to learn all about how that
specific preset works with your new SCS.1m.
