Developed with Serato, this palm-sized cue point and looping controller has been designed to fit exactly where you need it: on your turntables, CDJs, mixer or laptop. Dicer always ships in pairs - one for each side.
Plug Dicer in, slot it on your turntable/CDJ, and you can instantly set cue points and use them to trigger 'Hot Cues'. Or, flip Dicer into 'Auto-Loop' or 'Loop Roll' modes, to trigger loops, or 'roll' sections of the track to create climaxes, drops and glitchy breaks. Each 'mode' illuminates Dicer's pads a different colour, so you can instantly see what mode the pads in, even in dark clubs and venues.
Dicer's buttons can also 'learn' other software functions. So, you can assign different FX to the pads, or trigger samples over the top of your mix, or even browse tracks in your iTunes library!
Dicer fixes solidly to Technics 1200/1210 turntables. An attachment enables you to drop them into the 45-adapter slot so they sit squarely in the corner of the turntable. Dicer also comes with re-usable 'DJ Putty' that will stick Dicer firmly to CDJs, laptops, mixers - or any hard surface. The putty is strong enough to withstand tough treatment, so even with more vigorous performances Dicer will stay exactly where you put it.
In Serato Scratch Live, as well as the three main modes, there are 2 additional 'layers' of the 5 pads, on which you can control other functions in your software (a total of 20 controls across a pair of Dicers). You can assign these to trigger samples over the top of your mix, or to activate FX such as reverb, flanger or EQ cuts. You can also use Dicer to navigate your track list in iTunes, or flick between crates and tracks in Serato.
Although Dicer has been designed to integrate with Serato, it also works with other DJ software. Setup files for Traktor Scratch and Traktor Scratch Pro are available online at www.novationmusic.com. These files assign Dicer's controls to various functions, including Cueing, Play/Stop, Looping, FX and browsing. For other DJ Software, you can use the software’s own MIDI mapping function. A pair of Dicers give you a total of 60 MIDI controls.

Physical controls and Indicators
- 5 large round multi-colour back-lit trigger buttons
- 3 small round multi-colour back-lit function buttons
Connectivity
- Micro USB 1.1 connector; the most robust and compact USB connection.
- Kensington lock space
- Mini-Jack connector for connecting both Dicers together (so a pair only uses one USB port between them)
