One of the biggest benefits of using timecode records for scratching is that they’re resistant to skipping, since the signal is robust enough to ignore the needle jumping. But in the moments we’re generating timecode, why use a needle at all?

The CRSS12 does this digitally, instead. On top of that, it has MIDI-mappable buttons on the side. These are not only great for accessing things like hot cues, but for using stems as well.

The basic concept is this: take Pioneer DJ’s PLX-1000 turntable, add some buttons and features to make it friendly for scratch DJs, and make it automatically generate timecode.

There’s a lot of talk about this being a hybrid controller-slash-turntable thing, but really, that’s all that’s happening here. It’s a great turntable, with features made to enhance the experience of Serato or rekordbox-based scratch DJs.
