Questions about the Denon Dn-s3700 with Serato and Traktor.

In that video he's just using timecode and scratching. tbh he doesn't even need timecode for that. could just do it with a cd.

He's got them plugged into the SL soundcard, same as you would normally. Stop getting confused by the hybrid mode, it's totally negligible and not a reason to go for this cd player. If anything actually supported it it would be good but nothing does. It's a gimmick feature.

Either decide you want CD players with a spinning platter and get these or go for some turntables or regular cd players. That simple really.

DJ EXPO, ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, August 16, 2010 � Denon DJ, a leading manufacturer of reliable, premium-grade DJ equipment, announces a major enhancement to its popular DN-S3700 Digital Media Turntable with the introduction of the new MIDI Hybrid mode via a free firmware update scheduled for late September 2010. Current users and future owners of the DN-S3700 will be able to use various supported DVS applications (on either a PC or Mac�) such as Serato� Scratch Live, for direct spinning platter control using Denon DJ�s world�s-first built-in Relative mode timecode signal generator, in conjunction with the users� DVS-supported sound card or Denon DVS-supported mixers such as the DN-X1600 and DN-X600. This means that traditional CD timecode (and flash drive) media is no longer required for Relative mode operation because this required tone is generated inside the unit�s DSP, and outputs through the analog RCA connectors of the DN-S3700 during Hybrid mode. Various other surrounding keys and knobs are freely available to MIDI map as the user sees fit. Other firmware improvements with this release include new Auto BPM detection engine, doubled Platter Resolution and position accuracy via a newly-added preset. With the addition of MIDI Hybrid mode, the DN-S3700 Digital Media Turntable is giving working DJs an even more comprehensive tool and solution they need to succeed and grow their creative talents.
