I've installed the firmware flash updater per detailed instructions and it isn't finding the scs1D. Also I'm using virtual dj pro how do I set the mappers for this deck also.

+1 Pitch fader resolution though I don't know if possible.

there is a way to get a finer pitch control, i duplicated the pitch fader and made one of the empty rotary encoders as a fine pitch, i changed it to a encoder and to relative and turned rotary sensitivity to 24% to give me 0.01 bpm increases.

and i'm using traktor 2.5 which seems to be working as good as before

i have just found that none of the fx names on the scs.1d match up to whats actually being used

I'm having a problem with my scs deck it's not being reconized by windows vista it's giving the code 17 in the device manager. i Then I go to properies and it's saying that windows cannot load drivers required for this device (code 31). Is there a fix for this? Also how can I get the system to work with VDJ Pro?

...can't cue the record like real record decks...

I also had this discussion on DJTT,here are my findings about this:
(copied from my posts in DJTechTools forum)

Today I been practicing a little more on the SCS deck running TP2 and put accelleration in scratch up to 1%,it feels more TT...then today I noticed that, sometimes when I start playing the deck then start to scratch,scratch isn't activated, so the track keeps playing, I'm moving the vinyl, drop it,touch the vynil again, rub it and nothing happens,the track keeps playing on.... this is very annoying,I tried tweaking the "scratch release sens" and "scratch engage" on daRouter up and down, with no success, so then I used the controller manager to learn (listen) what midi message scs1d was sending...I came up to this: when the platter is spinning, "play on" , SCS1d doesn´t send the message for "Jog Touch On" wich is "Note B8", TP2 only gets the message CC118 and sometimes when droping the vinyl it sends "Note B8", so the solution I found is to repeat the "Jog Touch On" command for when moving the vinyl "CC118" for each channel/deck.now it runs great!I think you should try this!
I assume this is a small bug in the firmware or in the preset...I remember that I also had to make a workaround for my VCI-100 after upgrading to DJTT firmware 1.4.
***
about the platter drift, tested it in depht: I used a sticker to mark the vinyl, just has B.Side mentions in the videos,it has a small drift of -/+ 0.01, but only if we "travel" a long distance on the vinyl,like if I'm scratching 1 or 2 samples in 1>4beats, "ahh" "fresh" ,it barelly drifts or not at all most times, but if I scratch a full sentence,like longer than 4 beats, sometimes the sticker drifts about a centimeter sometimes more, but if I move forward and backward pattiently slow it wont drift,or drift a few millimeters,it is probably a glitch on the backspins?but then again I'm looking at the screen not to the vinyl sticker...
I remember this also happens in VCI-100, maybe it is a MIDI problem...who knows?I have to test this driftting issue on VDJ...
***
Today I found out that repeating the command CC118 isn't good,cause when we swicht between decks if one is stopped,platter stops,then switching back to a playing one,platter starts rotating, sending that message "Jog Touch On" wich will stop the track for a while,1/2beat,then back on play, causing unsync of tracks... bad solution...but without that repeat sometimes,but very few, I can't scratch at once, I have to start the track,play 1 or 2 beats then grab the vinyl, does this happen to you also using TP2? this doesn't happen in VDJ, on VDJ I can grab the vinyl and hit play at same time, if I do this in TP2 it plays 1/2 beat then stops or other times it just plays the track on... this also happens if I use my VCI,so it must be a TP2 MIDI glitch...
Today I also tested that sticker drift in VDJ and it is pretty much the same as in TP2,sometimes it drifts in long distances sometimes it doesn't,but it is a bit more accurate.
***
Ok think I found a solution for the problem described on the first paragraph> I still repeat the command CC118 on each deck,and add a beatjump on each deck of + /2 beat (to compensate that - /2beat on the CC118) for the button "Deck Select" on SCS1d.the fisrt I switched decks I got weird noise,but then it is OK,but I will test it further on tonight...

here is my modified .tsi using the descriptions above,for better scrtaching response, this .tsi only includes MIDI for SCS1d not SCS1m, I removed that has I just own the deck.

this is just a test .tsi,sometimes it is solid sometimes it goes crazy when switching to deck A

the best way to "grab the track", is hit play button, play 1/2 beat then grab the vinyl and pull back a bit, this doesn't happen in VDJ, on VDJ I can grab the vinyl and hit play at same time, if I do this in TP2 it plays 1/2 beat then stops or other times it just plays the track on...

i would like to switch from deck A to B without going through every deck to get back to deck A just found the way to do that easily

How do you do that?please share!

edit:just found it out as well,press and hold "deck select" button,and press trigger 1,2,3,or 4.

Go to Controller Manager (no idea if it is called the same if you are using Windows) where you can change the settings on your MIDI controller, scroll until you see scratch under the control column and then change the value of the rotary acceleration under rotary encoder to zero. Make sure you do this on all 4 decks.

Why do you,and most users I guess, use these settings?
I use the 1% acceleration,scratching samples sounds much better, like if I'm scratching the "AHH" sample with 0%accel sounds "waAHH", there is a ramp-up delay...

I found a Major Bug on the firmware preset for TP2 4decks, when on Deck D, platter spinning,moving the Tempo Fader doesn't affect the platter spinning speed, like it does for all other decks.I tried reflashing the firmware 1.27,no success,so it must be a preset file bug.this is bad cuz it affects the track speed when I'm scratching a slower or faster track on that deck,wich by the way,is my favorite deck for "scratching only".... anyone else can confirm this please?
SUPPORT MUST SHARE A NEW FIRMWARE PRESET!!!!!!or at least share one in bmtp.

[pARtybOy]

so I found that I can workaround on this problem,when a track is playing on deck D, slower or faster then 0% picth if I cycle trough different "Tempo Range" or "Deck Select" it gets OK,try switching tempo range to 50%,turn tempo fader all up(-50%),the platter will spin at same speed,but if you cycle "Tempo Range" 8%-16%-25%-50% the platter will slow down to the speed it was suppose to spin,like it does on all other decks.when it is spinning at the different speed,scratching is also affected,cuz when I drop the vinyl it will virtually(TP2) spin at pitch 0%BPM then to the BPM speed set on the tempo fader,hope I'm beeing clear...
I tried reflashing firmware and redownloaded presets,but its still the same bug for deck D platter spin speed. I wonder if anyone else noticed this before?

[t-boy]

New firmware is in testing period.

I hope it will have higher pitch resolution.

Can't wait to upgrade them.

really!!??are you sure?where did you learned that?
+1 on higher pitch resolution.
I would also like to have the option to choose my FX bank (advanced/chained) and wich FXs to use,since I only use 5/6fxs and Stanton preset provides 23, I cant even switch the order of them, or I'll mess up what is on LCD and on screen...
and of course Deck D platter speed spin bug fixed!
looking forward!

[pARtybOy]

I've been using the SCS1d + TraktorPro2.6 for about a month now, mixing/beatmatching and scratching, took some "lessons" on http://www.youtube.com/user/DJAngeloUK, and after many practise sessions later, I conclude that with the original settings s15% / a2% or edited s16% I can perform tighter "drops" in a row,no ramp-up delay when dropping, scratching is a bit more accurate for much more quicker babys, tears, twiddles, or simply vibrating the vinyl is better, but the sound/pitch is affected a bit, with s15% a1%accel the sounds is perfect but it not so quick on scratch ....

on deck D,if I change pitch, I always have to push "tempo range" button,to "refresh" the spinning speed...

the platter spin bug also happens if I duplicate a track on any deck A/B/C/D,but the tempo range cycle workaround also fixes it.

Could you please advise on how you changed this? I've been trying to figure it out!

I did the same question up there^
and answered it myself, press and hold "Deck Select" and choose one of the cue triggers.

I'm having the pitch movement when scratching the platter with Traktor 2.01. Some one please help. Thank you in advance.

[t-boy]

Get a more recent version.
2.1 or 2.5 doesn't make it anymore...

[proaudiotech]

Good to know
