Stanton DaScratch SCS.3d review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Stanton SCS.3D Touch DJ Controller, aka DaScratch, is a standout MIDI controller for DJs, offering a compact and lightweight design with intuitive touch-based controls. Its compatibility with Traktor makes setup a breeze, and the LED feedback is a major plus. It's particularly adept at scratching and looping, though its specialization limits it as an all-rounder. The absence of a crossfader is a notable drawback, but its portability and fun factor make it a compelling choice for live setups. Overall, it's a unique piece of gear that punches well above its weight in terms of creativity and utility.

SCS-3d "DaScratch" Reviewed - DJ TechTools

djtechtools.com

The Stanton SCS.3D DaScratch is an intriguing, innovative DJ controller with a unique touch interface. Its standout features include customizable LED feedback, a modular touch surface, and the ability to use middleware software for extensive mapping possibilities. However, it has its limitations, such as the lack of true multi-touch capabilities and the impracticality of using touch faders for precise pitch control. The buttons can suffer from debris-related sticking, but they are user-repairable. While priced attractively for its features, it requires additional units for full functionality, making it a less spontaneous purchase. Overall, it's an exciting option for tech-savvy DJs looking for customization but may fall short for those seeking out-of-the-box ease.
