Novation`s Dicer is an ultra-compact controller for Digital DJ`s, that fits directly onto the turntable, CDJ, mixer or laptop. It has been designed with Serato to integrate into their `Scratch Live` Digital Vinyl System. However, it also works with Native Instruments` Traktor Scratch Pro, and any other software using standard MIDI messages.
Dicer has 5 `dice` pads which can be used to set and trigger Serato`s `hot cues,` `auto loop` and `loop roll` functions, with multicoloured LEDs behind each pad to show what mode you are in. There are also freely assignable layers of controls which allow you to control whatever you want, including triggering samples, effects or even navigating through track libraries and crates. When using other software, a pair of Dicers allow up to 60 MIDI controls between them!
Dicer ships with a mounting which enables it to sit firmly in the 45 adapter hole of a Technics 1200/1210 (and other compatible turntables). The box also contains `DJ Putty` which sticks the units firmly to any flat surface including CDJ`s, mixers or laptops at any angle! Dicer works straight out of the box with no driver-installation or set-up required.
They ship in pairs and require only one USB socket for power, the second Dicer links to the first by means of a (supplied) mini-jack cable.
FEATURES:
* Backlit, multi-colour, soft touch dice buttons, provide immediate LEDfeedback from Serato Scratch Live software.
* Using the 45-adapter hole, Dicer places looping control right where youneed it - on your decks, millimetres away from your vinyl.
* With Novations reusable DJ putty, your Dicers can slot into even themost cramped of DJ performance set-ups, sticking cleanly and directly onto your CDJs, mixer or laptop.
* Dicer is pre-programmed to take advantage of the cue point and loopingfunctions in Serato Scratch Live, including Hot Cues, Auto Roll and Loop Roll.
* Dicer is fully MIDI assignable, so it can be set up to control almost any software, including Traktor Scratch Pro.
* Up to 60 assignable MIDI controls are available from a pair of Dicers.
