Description
The Novation Dicer Cue Point & Looping DJ Controller is a compact, surface mounted control surface for use with Serato Scratch, and other DJ software titles. Dicer lets DJs easily trigger cue points, loop points, samples and much more. Easy to use controls illuminate in red, green and orange to indicate Serato’s Hot-Cue, Loop Roll and Auto-Loop modes.
The Dicer is designed to corner-mount into the 45-adapter slot found on the Technics SL-1200, leaving the controls within inches of the software control vinyl. Novation includes a “DJ Putty” adhesive for mounting the Dicer onto CD-decks, laptops and other flat surfaces. With the Novation Dicer, DJs can enjoy quick looping and triggering without touching their laptops, or investing in bulky hardware.
Full Serato Integration
Serato DJ/Scratch Live is so much more than mixing digital music. Its creative features such as cueing and looping, take DJ performance to a totally new level. Dicer unlocks these features by putting them right at your fingertips while you’re mixing. Dicer’s 3 “mode” buttons allow you to jump between 3 different performance modes.
Right Where You Need It
Dicer fixes solidly to Technics 1200/1210 turntables. An attachment enables you to drop them into the 45-adapter slot so they sit squarely in the corner of the turntable.
In Serato DJ/Scratch Live, as well as the three main modes, there are 2 additional “layers” of the 5 pads, on which you can control other functions in your software (a total of 20 controls across a pair of Dicers).
Compatible with Other DJ Software
Although Dicer has been designed to integrate with Serato, it also works with other DJ software. Setup files for Traktor Scratch and Traktor Scratch Pro are available online. These files assign Dicer’s controls to various functions, including Cueing, Play/Stop, Looping, FX and browsing. For other DJ Software, you can use the software’s own MIDI mapping function. A pair of Dicers give you a total of 60 MIDI controls.
Performance Buttons with Visual Feedback
Backlit, multi-color, soft touch “dice” buttons, provide immediate LED feedback from Serato Scratch Live software.
Default Setup for Serato DJ/Scratch Live
Dicer is pre-programmed to take advantage of the cue point and looping functions in Serato DJ/ Scratch Live, including “Hot Cues”, “Auto Roll” and “Loop Roll”.
Works with All Major DJ Software
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.
USB Bus-Powered
Dicer gets all the power it needs from a single USB cable, with no need for an external power supply. A mini Jack cable transmits power and data to the second Dicer.
A Class Compliant MIDI Device
The Dicer is a plug and play device, so no need to install any drivers.
