DaRouter V1.0.18 Instruction Guide

Introduction DaRouter 1.0.18 is our first public build of DaRouter . 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. - 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.

In this drop down, all pre-installed presets will be listed as well as any presets dragged or manually loaded into DaRouter. Upon selecting a preset in the list it will be loaded into DaRouter.

At the bottom of the drop down list is a “BROWSE” listing, this can be used for manually browsing to a preset using a file explorer dialog.

Reload Preset Button The reload button will start the currently running preset. This should not need to be used but is placed as an option if you want to restart a preset.

Preset Documentation Button The preset documentation button (shown as “?”) will load the HTML documentation associated with the preset selected. The preset documentation includes all the setup instructions for using the preset with the application it was designed for. It is ALWAYS suggested to read the documentation when loading a new preset.

Device Indicator This section indicates if a device is required for use with a preset and if that device is connected. For “Single” presets only one device is required for “Dual” presets two devices are required. When a device is NOT used in a preset the image will be ghosted. When a device is used the image will be grey and when the device is detected it will glow blue to indicate connec- tivity.
