If any of you are using a single DaScratch (like me,) here's a good opportunity to upgrade to a second:

I'm using the trial version of VDJ to see if it works with my scs system, theres no point in me buying it and it then not working with my scs, I dont see what the problem would be to let us trial users use this patch.
I understand your debacle. For what my words are worth it works. I don't work for VDJ and did my part soley for the desire to make two cool things work together. If you can convince the VDJ guys to help you out that would be the best course of action, but it is their cal, and they have very valid concerns about guys pirating software and trying to reap benefits the rest of us pay for. But read the threads in the forums; all these guys are users and none of them are afraid to voice their opinion, good or bad. Good luck.

Just an update on a few things that you need to know and I am working on ....
2. Out of the box - the 3m and 3d conflict on the same MIDI channel and can not be recognized at the same time in VirtualDJ. However, there is a way to assign a different channel to the 3m mixer but it requires a 3rd party software and knowing what the commands are to do it. I have asked Stanton to right a utility that will set the units to a prescribed set of MIDI channels so that way we can make the proper definitions and everything work correctly.
just got mine today and this mapper is working fine but as of right now i am trying to use the total control as the mixer and i imagine the
reason above is about the the same thing with the total control.does anyone know how i would be able to set this up to have 2 dascratches and also the total control working for the crossfade and eq and things like that?
im computer illiterate so any info would be appreciated,dumb downed if possible

My mapper never took the SCS.3m in to consideration. My xml files only work if you are using Darouter and allow for up to two controllers. what DaRouter does is resend a different midi signal based on which device is sending it, thus taking care of the issues of different device giving the same signal. Once I have an SCS.3m I'll add it to the map, but if someone else wants to do it it's pretty easy and I'm happy to offer my advice. You will have to understand how midi keys work and understand midi out/in.

I hope to have something in the next week that will provide 100% support for the units ... I might first release the 3d files first as those are almost done ... with the 3m following there after ....

that is awesome... Will there be support for the mac side as well?

So what does "100% Support" mean? That VDJ will perform the function of DaRouter, essentially?

Please don't quote the post right before your own post .....!!!
And yes, the I will validate them in Mac before I release them.
100% Support means that you will not use the DaRouter ... it will be direct access to the units from VirtualDJ - like it should be.

I'm excited about that... OT, but I'm going to DJ with my definition for the MixMeister Control this weekend, and after I'm confident that I got everything correct, I'll be submitting it to VDJ, so hopefully we can see built-in support for this controller as well in a subsequent version.

Hey guys, these my xml files for Stanton the DaScratch. It is designed to be used with DaRouter software. You can use either the VDJ single preset or Genric Dual to use 2 Stantons. The only issue I have is shift loop won't work to switch between the short loops and long loops. email me with questions. unzip the files and place the mapper in the mapper folder and the other in your devices folder. Start Darouter, plug in your Dascratches and then start VDJ 6 (In that order!). go into your config and on the mapper page you should be able to pick DaScratch from your drop down. once you see that you are ready to go. You may have to rename the General midi mapper.xml to a .old file so it won't interfere. I had no issue, it just showed both. Will only work on PC. Here's the link:

You are a legend, the files are wicked. Thanks for sorting his out. Looking forward to the complete solution coming out.
One thing i'd like to throw in... has any else come across the application crash whe you tap the eq mode button?
Mine bombs the application out. No Crash guard, just the winows "Encountered an error, report to Microsoft" message box. every time i tap the eq mode buton.
I don't think its a VDJ configuration, think there may be conflict between midi signals!!!! Could do with a fix!
Any response would be useful.
Thanks.

Hey guys:
Although I haven't yet played with the actual SCS.3Ds yet in VDJ, it is pretty impressive what the Mixxx guys are doing with it... check the YouTube video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DUpTikA8u0
I hope that it won't be long before VirtualDJ gets this kind of flexibility with the controller. I presume that it is most of the way there already!

Wow, the functionality in that vid is impressive! I'd never even considered that that the DaScratch might be programmed like that until watching that vid. Then I realized that it's simply a MIDI controller and basically, someone who knows what they're doing can set it to do lots of things.

How is the progress? if it's still gonna be a while I was going to start tinkering with making an xml that works directly with the Stanton's to do some of what I saw in the MIXX video. some are complete overkill, but the spinning LED's and a few other bells and whistles would be cool, as well as multiple vinyl modes and massive hot cues. Was thinking af making an autoscratch mode (where it automatically cuts the back scratch for you) as well as a few other things.

is it possible to have the wheel work as a spinning record would,if i put my finger at a point on the pad it would hold the music,like stopping the record there till i let go?
this is just a question not a request

currently no, but speaking to Stnaton it is supported. It is on my list to make happen. Scratching is pretty useless if you can't press and hold.

LOL -- I posted that on Thursday evening -- I am a working DJ as well as a day-job -- and it's only Monday!!! But progress is well.
As for the question about touch sensitivity - Yes, that is possible.
As for the lights - Yes, also.
Hope to have something this week for the 3d -- still 5 days left the last I checked -- LOL!!!!!
