What the iScratch 201 is

The DJ Tech iScratch 201 is a hardware controller for digital DJs who want tactile control over computer software. It connects via USB and supports MIDI communication for integration with popular DJ applications. The unit also plays audio directly from CDs and USB storage devices without a computer. It is not suited for users who need motorised platters or built-in audio outputs for standalone mixing.

Hybrid mode and time code

The defining specification is the hybrid mode that enables time code control with vinyl or CD media. This lets you manipulate digital tracks using traditional turntables or CDJs while the controller handles the software link. If your workflow does not use time code vinyl or CDs, this feature will not be used.

Power and thermal behaviour

The controller is powered over the USB connection, so it draws minimal current and generates negligible heat. No external power supply is required and there are no cooling fans, so operation is completely silent. The compact enclosure stays at room temperature during extended sessions.
