Cue Point & Looping Control for the Digital DJ

Novation's Dicer is an ultra-compact controller for Digital DJ's, that fits directly onto the turntable, CDJ, mixer or laptop. The Dicer 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 always ships in pairs - one for each side.

Plug the Novation 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!

Novation Dicer Features:

• Performance buttons with visual feedback - Backlit, multi-colour, soft touch ‘dice’ buttons, provide immediate LED feedback from Serato Scratch Live software. 
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Ready-made setup files for other DJ software - Quick setup files for other major DJ software, including Traktor Scratch Pro.
• A Fully class compliant MIDI device - Dicer is a plug and play device, so no need to install any drivers
