Serato Scratch Live has a new partner: The Novation Dicer.

Developed with Serato, this palm-sized cue point and looping controller has been designed to fit exactly where you need it: on your turntables, CDJs, mixer or laptop. Dicer always ships in pairs - one for each side.

Plug Dicer in, slot it on your turntable/CDJ, and you can instantly set cue points and use them to trigger 'Hot Cues'. Or, flip Dicer into 'Auto-Loop' or 'Loop Roll' modes, to trigger loops, or 'roll' sections of the track to create climaxes, drops and glitchy breaks. Each 'mode' illuminates Dicer's pads a different colour, so you can instantly see what mode the pads in, even in dark clubs and venues.

Dicer's buttons can also 'learn' other software functions. So, you can assign different FX to the pads, or trigger samples over the top of your mix, or even browse tracks in your iTunes library!

Dicer was designed by Novation in collaboration with Ean Golden - DJ and curator of DJ Tech Tools. Ean came up with the concept of a controller that fits on the turntable, and his contribution has been crucial in helping Novation design and develop Dicer.

* Locks straight onto Technics SL 1200/10, and similar decks - Using the 45-adapter hole, Dicer places looping control right where you need it - on your decks, millimetres away from your vinyl.

* Performance buttons with visual feedback - Backlit, multi-colour, soft touch ‘dice’ buttons, provide immediate LED feedback from Serato Scratch Live software.

* Attaches to CDJs, mixers and laptops. - With Novation’s reusable ‘DJ putty’, your Dicers can slot into even the most cramped of DJ performance set-ups, sticking cleanly and directly onto your CDJs, mixer or laptop.

* Default set-up for Serato Scratch Live - Dicer is pre-programmed to take advantage of the cue point and looping functions in Serato 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 Tractor Scratch Pro. Up to 60 assignable MIDI controls are available from a pair of Dicers.

post a pic of your setup here http://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... &start=225

[Buck_Choi]

do you people who have them. think its worth it from some CD players?

[pulsebeat]

for some cd players?

yeah man

think of it this way

when you go clubs and you setup serato you would be using the dicers so its quick

and you still have as much function as the cdj 2000

but in saying that it would be easier to get cd players with usb at the back

ive always seen these but have had no idea what they do.

i reckon they should just leave turntables alone and leave all this loopy stuff to cd players and samplers

[krsjuan]

this is the most logical piece of kit ever.

after my bro used my tts and ttm57sl he commented on the lack of cue button and control over loops etc

then bam! i see this thing, definitely buying a pair. who knows the cheapest supplier?
