This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

So, you just can't stand not picking a debate when ever and where ever you can .... Well,

Without giving away any confidential information, Craig's statement is correct to a point; but it is not the 'whole' story ... :)

But, yes; we are using the same algorithm that the VST demonstrated is using ... :)
 
It's not about "picking debates" Chris, it's about people having access to accurate information.

It's quite common on forums and places like YouTube that people will post things as if they're "statements of fact" when they are (or may be) just that persons opinion, or what they've heard "from a mate in the pub". Sometimes just plain wrong!

In my various online guises I try my best to help people wherever possible, by giving out accurate advice.

Yes it can rub people the wrong way sometimes. They say it's A and I say no, it's B - but I'd rather "the viewers" have access to correct info instead of being mislead (intentionally or unintentionally).
 
So what was so miss leading about my statement here ???

What 4000 signals??? Nothing on the unit sends 4000 signals. If you are asking about the JOG resolution - it is using the full resolution supported by the hardware. The real number is confidential to Stanton and it's partners and will not be posted here.


So, again;

Illegal software users vs frustrated software developer = Funny read, at least I think it does.
Seriously Mr Unlicensed user, if you truly think the software is the best then buy the license and support future software development.
 
Cstoll,
Thank you for your kind and informative reply...... ;I

Yes I wanted to know if VDJ uses all those 4000 signals what the jog is able to send.
Since the video from the "2009 NAMM show" (pretty public place) and other videos are on youtube, (2 from nem0nic himself, on his channel - Craig Reeves who was at Stanton then, now working with Behriger.... just look at the new Behringer modular stuffs made under his leedership.... pretty the same as SCS.1 were) I thought it is not confidental at all....
All I wanted to know if the VDJ uses all the possibilities what the SCS.1 system is capable of, or there is a 'trick' you figured out?

I know this is not the right place for it, but what would be the 'whole story' about the SCS.1D's resolution??? Just beacause I bought my items about it's resolution.... and than seamed the highest resolution (timecodes use to use 1-1,5 kHZ signals... so it is about 2-3 thousand signals per rotation)....
I would like to know if it is compared with any other timecode (or motorised platter midi controller) what would be the "rank-list"??

MAGAGAR80, you know there are people living outide of US, and have way different salaries than you guys have.... for me as an example, I work in a (national) theatre... my earning is around 150USD/MONTH.... maybe it is shocks you, but you can see, it is not that easy to buy a software that is equals of 2 month of the given monthly salary....
In this case, you would be way more carefull what do you buy... (and just to tell you.... prices are the same or even higher than you have in the states {I've been there and other western E.U. countries too, so I KNOW}.... This is why I try to be at least 100% shure if I invest USD 300 to a program.... And I just swiching from analog to digital DJing..... so all my money is in the old stuff I must sell before I buy small (but very important) components, like a program....

But as I can see, I will buy it, since even the 'angry production staff' can be really nice, informative, and helpfull.... {Cstoll.... Big UP! maaan :) } He's just promised if I buy it, he will even send me a kind of 'patch' before the new version (8) published.... now this is what I call customer care.... This is really a great community and a good team (Atomix prod.) I wish I could have the same from Stanton, who made my controllers and I already bought them.... I cry for them a loooooooong time ago just for a little firmware upgrade (for the 14 bit MIDI mapping of the pitch slider) and (saidly) they don't give a s**t....
 
@EO4593 -- Ok, going to take off all my VirtualDJ hats for a moment because some things just rub me the wrong way at times....

1. If there is one thing that rubs me the wrong way the most is when people have or buy $700, $800, $1200, or more in hardware that doesn't come with a PRO version of a software title, then use the excuse that they can't afford the lesser expensive software. Clearly people put their priorities in the wrong place when they make purchases. Guess since stealing software is OK for most and it is harder to steal physical hardware people just think it is an OK thing to do.

2. There is what is called 'confidential' and 'public' information. What you see or hear in the public domain is what people are authorized to say to get the message about 'confidential' information across. Just because someone says or posts it to the public environment doesn't mean the confidential information is now going to be distributed as well. So, no matter how much one asks the only information that will be put out there will be the 'public' information.

3. People that use words that have totally different meanings than what was said. There is a big difference between an 'offer' to do something and a 'promise'. So, don't change the words just to turn the statement in your favor as you might be disappointed.


So, continue to call me 'angry' or have a different opinion about me ... but it doesn't change the facts to the situation.

1. Get/Have a legal and registered version
2. With a legal and registered version of the software, one might get more for what they are asking.
3. Demanding doesn't get everyone what they want - it only makes those that know; less likely to be as open and sharing.

Hope to some day finally see you as a licensed user where you will be able to further enjoy your hardware to it's full potential.

Cheers!!
 
well stated and just to let everyone know i am using stanton scs 1d and virtual dj pro7.0.5 and everything works corectly i am also using a macbook pro ,my fader remembers its last location no drift in my jog the unit is a beast and any one thinking about getting these units stop thinking a do it.
 
Hey, D Crazy; did you get your second unit sorted ? Hit me up in an email and let me know.
 
I always thought the Stanton scs line was very cool but I was put off by the software, now that vdj is supporting the scs deck and mixer I may have to pick up a set. I also love what vdj did with the scs3, that's a real cool skin Stanton was showing @ namm

Wait until you see the SCS.1 skin -- just as impressive :)
 
can we see a sample of what to expect lol
 
From NAMM ...



See more images from NAMM 2012 HERE
 
Pretty sure I'm gonna sell a set of Techs and scope these up!!
 
Can you believe these beasts have been out on the market for ages, stanton could have got market dominance (or at least become highly regarded) with them but because the software support wasn't there and other bugs I haven't seen anyone ever use them!

Looks like that's finally all been corrected, I just hope it's not too late for stanton!
 
Andy .. nice to see you back around ...

If anything I think this is the perfect opportunity for Stanton to relaunch these units. You are right that they have been out there for over 3 years now, but they were so far ahead of their time. And now with everyone going small and compact I think there are going to be some traditionalist that want the 'meat' with their potatoes. :)

The other most appealing thing about the SCS 1 System is that on the Deck (SCS.1d) units there are only about a dozen items that are actually labelled ... all the other elements are either supported with an LCD output for customized labeling via VDJScript mapping codes or a white space to write on. Or, after mapping to your liking; you can even skin the units from StyleFlip

Pay close attention to what B-side says about the SCS.1 System ... :)
 
I've never seen these players before, they look real nice!
 
 
Cheers Cstoll, the scs3.D video does make them look good... And that version of vdj with them is very clever (again, if only they'd got it figured 3 years ago), I guess that skin must have been a virtual dj creation rather than stanton?! Great on-screen visual feedback anyway whoever made it.

They just need to get their marketing in order, if this is the official relaunch then hopefully they'll get some professional promo videos done to generate a bit of hype and a few good reviews on the dj blogs soon. If not, they could have wasted quite a lot of money on more development! Let's hope not... :)

((((((Do it))))))) i highly recommend it these units are killer i used one of these with my dnx1600 at my club last weekend and didnt have a problem what so ever they are brilliant. i have never been more sure of a piece of hardware in my life thats how sick they are mind you i haven't had them long but i am sure they will hold up.
