SCS.3m Description 3. SCS.3m Description 3.1 SCS.3m – Traditional Mixer Comparisons The SCS.3m was created to give you control of most common mixer functionality. You can see that the layout on the SCS.3m is symmetrical and that we are emulating a 2-channel mixer, similar to a typical 10” “Battle mixer.” Keeping this comparison in mind will help you to understand the different features of the SCS.3m. Let’s begin by comparing the different control groups on the SCS.3m to their counterparts on a tra

Channel Fader 3.1.3 Channel Fader The Channel Faders (also called line faders, upfaders, etc.) control the volume of their associated channel before the 1O 1O signal gets to the Crossfader. The touch sensitive strips on the SCS.3m act just like the Channel Faders on a traditional O O mixer, allowing you to adjust the volume of the channel. Like the Crossfader, the Channel Fader on the SCS.3m has a row of LEDs next to it that will indicate its position. (Figure 3.3) Figure 3.3 3.1.4 Crossfader At

Deck Switch 3.2.1 Deck Switch 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
