New C.324 features real-time sample and loop sequencing, beat synchronized samples and loops, and slot loading CD mechanism with LED for quick loading in low light situations
Stanton DJ, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of professional audio products for DJs, has announced the release of the C.324, the company’s newest slot loading tabletop CD player for the professional DJ. The product will be on display for the first time at this week’s NAMM Show in Anaheim.
The Stanton C.324 is designed for digital DJs who want to scratch CDs like vinyl, and has all the latest components needed for ultimate performance. It features MP3 and CD audio playback with onboard file and folder browsing, onboard pattern and real-time sequencer for drum machine style performances, seven on board digital effects, and a sleek slot loading CD mechanism with LED for quick loading of CDs into the unit in low light situations.
The C.324 has added responsive trigger pads that offer real-time sample / loop sequencing. This means that trigger patterns can now be recorded in real time and looped instantaneously. Drum patterns and loops can be manually re-sequenced and then looped to bring a completely new twist to live DJ remixing. Using the C.324, sequences can be created in seconds compared to minutes using drum machines.
The C.324 can record loops and samples, with the length determined by the time setting. This new feature makes it easy to set up seamless loops. The C.324 also allowed for the creation of beat synchronized loops based off of the current song’s BPM. This means that a perfectly timed seamless loop can be set on-the-fly with one press of a button. Once a beat synchronized loop has been set, it can be trimmed or expanded in real time by beat increment. By trimming the beat, a one bar loop can be turned into a 1/2 bar loop, 1/4 note or 1/8th note. Smaller loops can be expanded in the same fashion.

Yeah, but what's the pitch resolution?
All of the gadgets and add-ons don't mean anything if the deck can't change pitch in increments of .05% or better...
The new loop function does sound nice, however. |

The players probably sell well to beginner DJs that are used to the T.60, T.80 and T.120 turntables. Stanton also used to make some decent mixers over 10 years ago, so brand recognition definately plays a part. The low price of the units (C.314 were cheaper than CDJ-200s) also helps.
I'm guessing with the way that the features were advertised, that the units are being pushed to Top40/mobile DJs instead of Club/Bedroom DJs like us.
I still think its pretty lame that the pitch resolution isn't listed, even on their website, for ANY of their CD decks. I might just send them an call... |
