3. SCS.1m Description
In this chapter, we will briefly describe the Top, Front, and Back SCS.1m panels.
It’s important to understand that the SCS.1m is a traditional DJ mixer “analogy” in a control surface. This means
that while the SCS.1m looks like a DJ mixer, at its core, it is really a control surface. As a control surface, the
SCS.1m’s functionality is completely derived from the host application (software) that it is controlling.
The SCS.1m also utilizes presets in DaRouter to define functionality, which can drastically change its functionality
depending on how the preset is configured. So as we discuss the panel and layout it is important to remember that
when running a specific preset its best to read the documentation associated with that preset as it will explain how
the SCS.1m is tailored towards the application it is being used with. So in the below explanations we describe the
controls and how they traditionally may be mapped into an application.

- Master Section
- Browser Section
