DaRouter V1.0.18 Instruction Guide Introduction DaRouter 1.0.18 is our first public build of DaRouter software. The goal of this release was to deliver a build which incorporated complete DaRouter functionality coupled with all initial presets for Traktor DJ Studio™, Serato Scratch LIVE™, and a set of generic presets that allow the SCS.3d to be mapped to any MIDI compatible application. These presets will automatically install with DaRouter, and include documen- tation outlining their use and how to configure the application they are to be used with. We have also made some changes to the installer from the previous versions to incorporate cleaner placing of the preset and also a more elegant driver installer in Windows XP and Vista that ensures proper installations of updates for future versions. The driver has been updated and this build incorporates the first release of the 64-bit version of our virtual MIDI driver. Change Log (from V1.0.14) - New 64-bit compatible version of virtual MIDI driver. - Added read documentation button to GUI. - V1.00 Traktor, Scratch LIVE, and Generic presets and documentation added - Driver parity check and improvements on Windows installer - Fresh driver install option added to on Windows installer - Mac installer updated - Preset documentation updated Known / Current Issues - DaRouter is having issues reading encrypted presets on PowerPC™ machines. - Windows Vista arbitrarily adds numbers next to “To DaRouter” and “From DaRouter”. This does NOT affect performance of the port or reliability. - Dual unit detection not functioning properly on Windows Vista.
