About DaRouter
DaRouter is an application developed between Stanton and Bome’s Software, which allows SCS.1m to specifically
integrate and interact with audio applications. DaRouter takes incoming messages coming from SCS.1m using a
proprietary high speed messaging protocol and translates them to the host target audio application through the
form of presets. This translation process allows the unit to change its functionality depending on which mode the
unit is in and the desired host application functionality. Every single action on SCS.1m is processed through
DaRouter, which means that as applications evolve, so do presets… More importantly, presets can be created and
edited freely with virtually no limit to what SCS.1m can do, thus opening up a whole element in control surface
DJing. It is important to constantly check the Stanton website and forums for new presets.

Anatomy of DaRouter
DaRouter is the brains behind interaction between SCS.1m and the application it is being used with. DaRouter is
designed to sit in the background and just translate MIDI but does have some functionality to load presets and
configure your SCS.1m with DaRouter/Active preset. Before we load a preset, let’s take a quick tour of what
everything inside of DaRouter does.
To easily describe DaRouter, we divided its interface in three sections: A, B, and C respectively.
