    Not too certain what brainiac reckoned that "DaScratch" was a suitable name for Stanton DJ's new touch-sensitive controller, but if we had our way, we'd have that guy / gal promoted on the double. Nomenclature aside, the device you see above is the outfit's newest member of the SC System family. The USB-MIDI controller was designed for mobility and to allow Funkmasters and Beatslayers alike to use "traditional performance motions and gestures on a touchpad style surface." Scratching, scrubbing, and navigating through digital audio files can all be handled with just a few flicks of the fingertips, and there's even support for multiple-finger gestures to "prompt quick kills on EQ's or transform effects on volume." Not a bad spin for $299, huh? Full release after the jump.
