In some cases, you might also see the Deck Switching buttons used for things like alternative layouts.
It really depends on the mapping and the application. In any situation, the Deck Switch buttons allow
the SCS.3m to effectively double its number of controls while maintaining the same small form factor.

Figure 3.7
The Deck Switch button allows for each side of the SCS.3m to be
switched between 2 virtual decks. Each side can be toggled
independently, thus allowing 4 channels to be controlled in a
conventional 2-channel design. (Figure 3.6)
In each Deck Switcher, there is a backlit letter (either A and C, or B
and D) to indicate which virtual channel that side of the SCS.3m is
controlling. When you switch channels, the SCS.3m will remember
the way you left all your controls on the other channel and restore
those settings when you switch back.
If you’re using a program like Traktor PRO (which gives you the ability
to DJ using 4 decks), then this button switches what channel is being
controlled by the strip underneath it. In the following illustration,
we’re switching between decks A and C. (Figure 3.7)
