There are many excellent DJ controllers and control surfaces out there
that take advantage of Serato Scratch's advanced cue and looping
functions. On the other hand, there are many more that don't. You don't
need a new deck in order to get the most out of Scratch anymore - all
you need is a Novation Dicer! The result of a collaboration with Serato
and DJ Tech Tools' Ean Golden (a DJ whose practical approach to DJing
and using computer technology has been an inspiration to many of today's
hottest up-and-coming DJs), the Dicer extends straightforward
usefulness and software integration into Serato Scratch.
The
Dicer lets you instantly set cue points, which you can use for hot cues,
loops, rolls, and more. Each mode lights the Dicer's buttons up a
different color, so you get the instant feedback you need - not to
mention more cool lights on your deck. And with the Dicer's "learn"
function, you're not restricted to preset functions or even to using
Serato Scratch. So, you can use the Dicer to browse your crate, load
tracks, trigger effects, and more - in short, anything that will make
your show cooler than before.
The Dicer hardware comes in a pair
of palm-sized cue-point/looping controllers that fit perfectly on the
corner of your turntables - right where you need them! In fact, if you
use Technics SL 1200s or similar decks, you can mount the Dicer hardware
right onto the deck. Otherwise, you can use Novation's DJ putty to
stick them just about anywhere. If you want options, you'll get them
with the Dicer DJ controller by Novation!
