Brooooo! Got my order in! So stoked :)
@@musicbyethan me too :)
I never have luck always is Out of stock! please I need one!
PORTABLISM GEAR IS JUST ON ANOTHER LEVEL!! Thank you so much for making my teenage dream came true ;) I love you from ITALY
I love how small it is. Perfect companion for PO33!
And The Monotrons :-) Let´s make this scene bigger!
I love how studio equipment is getting more and more minimalistic makes it soooo convenient
Yo! Big ups from Seattle! Thank you very much. Just received my device and I'm excited to get started! You guys changed the game! Respect*
Amazing piece of Gear! And it packs a lot of features in such a small box
Except a speaker 💡
New sub on the one! Keep spreading the Mini Tablism, we Love it!
Just preordered from the site. Can’t wait!
Awesome video! Thanks for the explanations! I Love my SC500!
One of the coolest instruments on Earth
cool video, straightforward piece of gear
Vielen Dank für dieses saugeile Gerät!
I stopped looking a year ago now the port world is crazy !!
Would love to see MIDI output to use with software like VirtualDJ, or mobile DJ apps, or a midi only version! Big hole in the market for that, especially if you wanna add a jogwheel to your 2 deck setup
Honestly I'd be so down for this, it's a shame they are priced so high otherwise I'd really have three and do exactly what you suggested or even just having them feed into an old Skool mixer and mix old skool style with no beat synch and just beat matching and mixer controller skill to pull off the mix...
Old skool djs (who can mix without the synch button now) know what I'm talking about!
These units look and seem great, is love to try one but don't see them in the stores, and despite the price are all sold out now.
When I looked 6 months ago they only had left the weird colours.
Get an Aux cable and a TRX converter head, plug that into your interface. So you can hear whatever you’re playing in your daw and scratch over it as a separate recording on the device itself.
sure, but that would add more input latency and you still need to take the time to transfer your audio files, the two things i'd like to avoid. Rane made a MIDI turntable called the Twelve MkII but it's not portable.@@SkinnyLegend-mj4hv
what about putting a timecode audio file on there, assuming you are using DJ software that can handle a timecode record it might work.
indeed that would work but USB MIDI, or even better HID would be more portable and have less input latency.@@slinkytrips
My wish list for the SC1000 MK3 when they decide to make one.
What I would like to see is a stop and start button for the beats.
I would like to see the volume buttons bigger.
Come with a manual explaining a little bit more.
On some of the colours you can buy them in, sometimes the writing ain’t to clear on what the buttons are.
Another idea would be to custom build the unit in your own colours/ button colours so its unique to the person who buys it.
The guy who sells it is really helpful answers every email that I have sent him.
I also know that it is in the pipe line that you are soon going to be able to cut the beat on the other side of the fader.
I think that the technical support from Ramin is absolutely second two none.
I own a MK2 would possibly buy the one that’s in the vid and without a doubt would by the MK3 if it had the same functions as the one in the vid.
The item is really good and the Mk2 is built well.
Keep up the good work, your a great team 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I can’t wait for mine to get here!
Cant wait for mine to arrive
Wow wish i could have one!!! Watching from PH!!!
just ordered my frost pink sc500. Stoked about the midi implementation. I'd love to know more about it! Cheers!
I love this thing!
That is so awesome
You are a genious ! Defenetly will order some of this bad boys ! :D
Would it be possible to build a breakout box for the SC500 with a larger platter, to get the ultra-portability of the 500 but with the option of adding the precision of the 1000 (or perhaps even an even bigger, motorized one)? Obviously one would have to modify the 500 with a breakout connector, but is there some reason this shouldn't work? Would one have to disconnect the on-board platter or could it be done parallel?
in my opinion the next logical step in terms of portablism and portable scratching ..
Is there a way to use the innofader as pitch control?
It would be awesome if you could load some serato timecode on the flash drive and use this device for dvs control. I have an aKai AMX this would work great with.
Awe man this is fire
Been waiting for months! When do they drop again?!?!
Would be even more nice if it was in stock :)
The ultimate SC500 MK2 would include an internal battery, a MicroSD slot and an aptX bluetooth transmitter. Hmm, maybe even a receiver! It could allow streaming audio through BT as an alternative to the stored beats and it would be possible to record a clip of it to make a new sample to scratch and maybe even loop it to make a new beat. I think these are doable features.
They added it last week
This looks amazing!! Im thinking about to get one so i can skratch at work🙂. I have a few questions: is audio output strong enought to listen to the session using earphones? Im on hamster switch and left hand on the table. Can i switch the mini inno on hamster? And last one: if i order one,can i return it if i dont like it for some reason? Its hard to buy something like this before i try it. Thank you for the responses guys. Big up for your hard work!
When again available?
I'm with Dolphin-- could you show us more of the MIDI implementation?
can a future video be made on editing the text file for midi mapping a midi device?
Hey I have some questions!
- How is the latency?
- Is the "SC1000MK2 SE" bigger, but with less features than the "SC500"?
Since usb seems like the primary ‘input’ possibility, how would you recommend integrating this into eurorack?
Are there any plans to add a separate headphone socket for cuing/previewing sounds and beats? How about a high pass setting for the samples and a lowpass setting for the beats/loops?
its so cool
Insane
Does the sc1000 mk2 have all the feqtures of the 500? I see it on ur site but no vid on utube.
great
Are these ever going to be available again?
This is my new autism fixation lol. I need one, joined the news letter for when it’s back in stock 😭💕
Great video, didn't know about this product. Wondering if we could also use it as MIDI controller for an iPad or Mac/PC DJing app.
DAW or similar use is not possible with the current state of the firmware. But you can e.g. extend the hot cues with a Korg Nano pad or control other midi devices with your midi mapping skills via the app Lemure.
@@PortablismGear Thanks ! Would this technically be feasible evolve the firmware with a controller mode ? As I wouldn't necessary use it standalone. I use mobile DJing apps quite with an AMX mixer to with an MWM Mixfader and found it would be perfect as a deck controller. Especially if it was A/B deck switchable. Right now I guess I could use it with a timecode file but it also means some additional cabling and complexity for my use case.
Is there a comparison video between SC1000MK2 and SC500 please?
what is the differance between sc500 and sc1000? Is there also any sc500 mk2 or sc1000 mk2, and what is the difference there?
Just ordered the neon green sc500 and also have the PO-33 and monotron Delay
I have the same set up. The sc500 is cool but hard to do certain scratches since the plate doesn’t really spin to the sample being played
Cool! I just learned about it. Will it be back in store in the future? Best regards
the channel is a bit silent atm. if you are interested, get on their newsletter, so you get a notification when a new batch is ready. for this year, there will be no new units, but at the beginning of 2024 for sure, get on the newsletter - i only can recommend it this way, they are sold out asap
When do you think you guys will restock the SC 500?
Good Evening. I just ordered an SC500 at the end of October (in orange). Will it come with the plain black jog, or the lined jog wheel?
Please contact our sales support via E-Mail. ask@portablismgear.com
Just want to say that I ~love~ your product!!! I've always wished for an affordable SINGLE DECK unit made purely for SCRATCHING!
I have one question -- Is there any chance that you could make a unit that is JUST a Midi controller, without all the extra stuff like the USB Stick Reader and Internal Sound Card??? I think it would make a much cheaper option, since the Internal Sound Card and Internal Music File Player probably bumps up the cost significantly. I would just want a plain Midi Controller.
Wowzers
Superb machine..are you making any more to buy on your store?
Thanks for asking. Actually there is a problem with the new batch of the olimex module. The firmware needs changes. Rasteri is already on it and we are looking forward to have them back in stock soon.
Can you make a eurorack version PLEASE!!!
how is the noise level on the units?
Will these ever be in stock? I’ve been looking for months but it’s never in stock.
Great Video brother. I checked your website and their all sold out, damm! 😄 About how long are we looking for new stock to arrive? Only because I found someone selling a Sc500 but if you will be getting new stock soon I would rather wait and buy a Sc1000Mk2 . You have some dope designs on there.
Thanks for asking. The the SC500 Fluorescent Orange - Glow In The Dark has stock and some mirror designs of the SC1000MK2 do too.
After the power plugged, I can’t no longer hear any sound. Is there any way to restart or something like that?
Where can I buy these sc500 or sc1000? Im from the philippines
I’m from mty, mexico and I would love to buy this product
I have SC1000 and cant change the speed of the beat pleaee explain to me what to do with the SC1000
Whoa this lil thing is over $200 usd!! 😳😱. That’s like what I paid for a real technic 1200!
Where can I find the instructions for the sc1000mk2 model? The old QR code doesn’t work
@portablism Gear what is the midi functionality on the SC500?? I see on your site it states that the SC500 has "MIDI (Limited)" functionality. What exactly can you do with MIDI on this device? Can you use it as a controller for a DAW?
NM, saw your response to a similar question in the comments. Are there any plans to support MIDI control in the near future?
Can you please recommend a good battery for the SC500? What voltage, usbc wire, and #mah. Thank you.
Thanks for asking. Any quality battery (Anker, 4smarts, Varta etc.) with at least 2A output will do the job. It is not an USB-C but micro USB connection. 5.000 mAh and higher is totally enough. With a fully charged 5000 mAh battery you will be able to use the SC over a week. We charge our (10.000 mAh / 3A out) battery which we use daily with the SC every 3rd month.
Hoping to get one someday 😂
Hey, is it possible to reverse the fader? Also is it possible to scratch audio files on an ipad?
You can reverse the fader. Just follow the innofader instructions if you already have an SC or write us an email after you placed your order. We will do the job.
The SC units can not be used with an iPad.
Question- just bought and got my SC 500, so you can only set cue points for samples only not beats?
Hi Benjamin, the CUE points can only be set for samples. If you want to cut/play with a beat, load the file into the samples folder to be able to set CUE points.
Sample and volume control does no change - what am I doing wrong?
What's the difference between the sc500 and the sc1000 mk2 apart from the size. Does the sc500 have more functions because it has more buttons?
The SC500 has the jog wheel reverse function and a start/stop button for samples.
How many beats is it meant to come with? Mine only had 2...
Hi, thanks for asking. Yeah, these are samples. You can add your own MP3 or WAV files to scratch them.
Sold out everywhere what’s up guys
when will you stock more
Hi, I have just put an notify interest on your website for SC1000 Mk2. Now I have seen this one. Is this SC500 better than the SC1000 Mk2. It looks like the 500 has more features, has it??
The SC500 is much smaller. It depends if you like to have a 87mm jog wheel or 120mm. The SC500 has 2 more functions. One is the reverse direction of the jog wheel and the other is the start/stop button for the beat.
@@raminbehzad659 Hi, thanks for the reply. The SC1000 MK2 says it has a stop button. It has 4 buttons on the top plate but the 500 seems to have loads of buttons on the top plate.
I have also heard that the Mk1 has a humming noise on it. Is the humming noise on the MK2?
Thanks for replying I have put a request for when it is in stock. Why it is so much more money I wouldn’t know!!
@@SEC0NDTW0N0NE i have the latest sc500 and it hums...
Where can i buy the full setup?
Hey portabilism gear, got my sc1000 mk2 a few weeks ago. Really like it, but i have to power it on twice before it actually turns on. Weirdest thing. Whats up w that? Also, where can i find a pdf user manual?
Sounds like a power source issue. Please contact ask@portablismgear.com and write my colleagues what your power source is and what wire you are using. You should also have received a sheet with the unit containing information and a link to a video user guide.
@@PortablismGear will do! Thanks for the reply! I did receive that sheet. Got a power cable (not data) and a wall plug at least 2 amps like it says. Ill see what they say. Thanks again for the info.
Does anyone know if the sc500 is also open source?
Or just the 1000... ?
can't find the equivalent github...thanks
Last question when i try the hamster function (shift + alt) all it does is restarts the beats track to the beginning and it does not reverse the the sample track,
This is a bug in the newest firmware version 1.7 and will be fixed soon.
Can it be used as midi controller?
When will these or any of the other models be back in stock?
The new batches of parts needed to assemble an SC have changed so much in the composition of the hardware that the code needs to be rewritten. As soon as this is done, we will start building new devices for customers again. Unfortunately there is no timeframe for this yet, but you can sign up in the "notify me" field on the product page to receive an email as soon as there is new stock.
Found out I am too late, when is my next chance to order 😢
Do you think these will ever be available again ? I missed out when these dropped 😢😂
Thanks for asking. Check our website in the first week of September 2023. 🙂
@@PortablismGearwhat about now ? It's Christmas time... 😢
@@TheLordTimi there was a last batch for this year, iirc in november(?), i highly recommend to get on their newsletter for any updates
I can’t seem to get my cue buttons to work. Nothing is happening when I press them no matter where on the sample. I’ve also deleted all of them and tried again. I’ve tried on the installed samples and ones I put on there as well. Could it be a formatting issue on the drive?
Hi, please contact our support ask@portablismgear.com and provide these information: your order number, your power source and screenshots of the usb flash folder content. My colleagues will reply to you during our working times. These kind of issue normally happens when changes has been made to the data structure of the USB flash.
deseo adquirir uno , como podría comprarlo? soy de Perú.
When I have my SC1000 MK2 plugged into the wall adapter, it works fine. But when I use a battery brick that delivers 2.4a at 5v, it skips like crazy on the jog wheel. It's like it isn't keeping contact with my fingers on the platter. Is there something wrong with my SC1000?
Remote diagnoses are always difficult and sometimes not 100%. In your case, I suspect that your power bank is not delivering a clean and continuous 2A. This is particularly important for the touch sensitivity of the jog wheel. If there was a fundamental defect, the device would exhibit this behavior with every power source. Make sure that you use the supplied cable and not a long one.
im having a hard time getting use to this. any tips on how the lag n all works?
Hi, thanks for your comment. Sounds like a bad power supply. Please contact ask@portablismgear.com and write what power supply and wire your are using. I am sure my team will help in no time solving this.
Why is it sold out everywhere?
Im waiting on a new batch too
Just wanted to let you guys know, the next restock will be released today at 6:00 pm CET
Be ready, I'll be ready
Did it drop yet?
Hi. When is the next batch dropping?
@@nerdbot2085i need to know.
Hi, i have a SC500 with firmware 1.7 alpha...i have a problem when i try to connect a midi controller. Whenever I connect it with a usb hub, in the beat track it repeats "firmware version 1.7alpha.." the crossfader has a different type of setting (fade the beat and cut the scratch), I think it load a default settings file from somwhere but not in the usb drive stick, I tried reloading the firmware by editing the settings file inside the sc.tar file , but it seems to me that it doesn't load the firmware at all (I hold down a beat vol button for 20 sec and then it doesn't do anything it stays mute)
How can I solve it?
Ooh, I have the same issue (but w/o the MIDI attempt).
Mine showed these symptoms after editing the settings for samplechannel and beat cut behaviour on the crossfader.
Currently trying to work things out w/ support (which pretty fast w/ answering so far).
I hope I can come back to you w/ an explanation or fix.
How calibration innofader?
Hi. You mention hamster style scratching but on my unit shift and alt only reverses the spinning disc. Is there a way to flip the fader as it shows in the video?
You will need to open the device to calibrate the Innofader. We will provide a video that shows how to do this within the next days.
@@PortablismGear Any update on how to get the Innofader with a hamster setup? I have the device but can't push it to full potential because I scratch the other way! Thanks as always guys.
@@supaflyrmg the fader cuts the sample on both sides. You should normally be able to cut hamster.
@@PortablismGear
Hi guys!
Will you make that video with instruction how to calibrate the Innofader?
Alright, I've found already a recalibration instruction for Mini Innofader Pro.
Here's link:
www.innofader.com/installations.php?id=77&pid=33
When will these go back into production?
Thanks for asking. The SC500 is available at portablismgear.com
is it possible to add some effect like reverb or delay?
not with the unit itself, but if you use a device afterwards, like a guitar pedal, korg kaoss etc after the output, for sure.
wen usbc?
Is there a way to adjust the curve on the fader? I'm trying to crab scratch but its a really gradual volume curve so it doesn't cut like I want it to
The mini Innofader pro in the SC500 cuts sharp on both sides. It is not possible to set a different curve. You only can adjust the sharpness on the fader by making changes to the cut in settings in the "settings.txt" file located in the root directory on the USB flash. The smaller the number, the sharper the cut in.
@@PortablismGear Thanks! I just tried that, I have the open set to 1 and the close to .5 (they were in 2 and 1) but I don't notice a difference. I'm trying to get it so there is basically no cross fade, just a cut on and off. Right now it it doesn't reach full volume until the fader is almost half way across so when I try crab scratches and what not it doesn't sound the way it should.
@@olliedodge9113 Please send a description of the error and a short video to ask@portablismgear.com . Please explain in your E-mail when the error occurred for the first time. Possible changes you have made (manual fader calibration) etc. Please also specify your power source and which cable you use.
I ended up figuring it out. I reset everything and it seems to work the way I want it to now. Thanks for your response! @@PortablismGear
nice... hamster ??? ....no reverse fader ?
It cuts the sample on both sides. In combination of the jog wheel reverse function hamster style shouldn't be a problem. To scratch reverse you need to recalibrate the innofader and swap A/B.
Schöne Sache aber warum habt ihr kein Akku direkt integriert?
Weil das rechtliche Aufgaben und Pflichten und somit Kosten mit sich bringt, vor allem beim weltweiten Versand. Im Gerät ist dafür auch kein Platz vorgesehen/vorhanden.
platterenabled option in the scsettings file doesnt do anything. I was trying to get it to default and play even when the platter is not touched but the option between enabled and disabled just does the disabled function. How do I fix this?
Thanks for the feedback. We will forward this to the developer to get this fixed in the next firmware update.
@@PortablismGear found a fix. Any additional "enter" done between the lines of code will mess up the file. for example:
%bullshit stuff
bulllshitvalue=69
%bullshit stuff
bulllshitvalue=69
This part will fuck it up
%bullshit stuff
bulllshitvalue=69
I love this, except the price, jeez!
Well smart unit though, kudos for the invention. Very portable.
I imagine somewhat difficult to use for to the size, but i guess one gets used to it right?
Anyone seen the video with one of these in a flight case?
Hahaha! Perfect for rocking up to a gig with! ❤
Update: proud owner of 1000mk2. Customer service was excellent too 👍
@@RaverOperatorGeeza the price is decent imho. it's not teenage engineering-hyperexpensive.
When will the SC500 be back in stock?
Thanks for asking. The SC500 will be back in stock on Mai 10th. Pre-Order will start earlier.
When will u start to sell it? Its impossible to but it online now (((
Thanks for asking. The first batch is sold out. The second batch will be available within 7-10 days from now.
I tried ordering on after the restock today and I guess I can’t order it to America?
Thanks for your comment. We ship worldwide. If you want to order for example from the USA you will need to use an internet connection in the USA to get the correct shipping options. Also no VPN connection or Tor browser etc.
"Record" as in "record player" or "vinyl record" does not have the same syllable emphasis as "record" as in "record your performance" or "record a song."
Record player = RECK-erd (emphasis on RECK)
Record a song = reh-CORD (emphasis on CORD)
Can you reverse the fader ?
The fader cuts on both sides and can be reversed.
