Critic Reviews

SCS-3d "DaScratch" Reviewed - DJ TechTools

djtechtools.com

The Stanton SCS3D DaScratch controller is a bold and innovative entry in the digital DJ landscape, offering unique touch-sensitive controls and customizable features via DaRouter software. Its standout "Stantouch" technology provides a versatile modular surface, while the device's lightweight build makes it a convenient addition to any setup. However, the short touch-faders may frustrate those seeking precise pitch control, and the lack of true multi-touch capabilities could disappoint some users. At $200, it's a versatile, fun option for MIDI-savvy DJs, though those desiring more tactile mixing might still prefer the VCI-100.

Stanton DaScratch SCS.3d review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Stanton SCS3D DaScratch is a compact, touch-based DJ controller that impresses with its portability and innovative features. It's ideal for DJs who value space-saving gear, offering intuitive touch controls for digital scratching, looping, and cueing. The LED feedback and the device's lightweight nature make it a strong contender for live setups. However, its specialized layout and absence of a crossfader limit its versatility, preventing it from being a complete standalone solution. Despite this, for its price range, it's a standout option, especially for those already using compatible software like Traktor.
