[. . . ] 1xxxx SCRATCHLIVE SL 1 OPERATORS MANUAL 1. 8. 0 Refer to the separate Quick Start guide that was included in the box. If you lose yours, a new copy (along with this manual and all other documentation) may be downloaded at www. rane. com/scratch. html. To keep up with the latest tips, and to check for Scratch LIVE software updates, visit the Official Scratch LIVE Forum at scratchlive. net For the questions that the Quick Start guide doesn't answer, please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to get the most from Scratch LIVE. Minimum system requirements · One DJ mixer with at least 2 channels. [. . . ] Assigning Controls To enable MIDI assign mode, click the MIDI button or press ctrl+M. Hovering the mouse pointer over a control will bring up the MIDI assignment box, showing the current assignment status. To assign a MIDI control, click on the control in Scratch LIVE, then move the MIDI control. The MIDI assignment box updates to show it has mapped the controls to one-another. To un-assign a MIDI control, click on the control in Scratch LIVE, and press return on your computer keyboard. Note: Once in MIDI assign mode, Scratch LIVE controls will no longer respond directly to the mouse--if you need to change a control using the mouse, disable MIDI assign mode. While in MIDI assign mode, controls which have MIDI inputs assigned show a green box indicator around them. MIDI platters The Scratch LIVE virtual decks are not assignable to MIDI control. MIDI devices with platters on them all send different data so user mapping is not possible. Support for specific MIDI devices with platters on them will be introduced in Scratch LIVE 1. 8. 1. Note: If you have a MIDI controller designed for DJing which includes platter controls, assigning them to the Scratch LIVE decks may be possible by installing a custom preset . xml file. Visit the Scratch LIVE forums to discuss your controller with other users, and for information regarding writing and trading user presets. Assigning MIDI to other controls Controls which aren't normally visible are available for assignment in the lower part of the screen when in MIDI assign mode. These include library navigation controls and the temporary cue points for either deck. Assigning Ctrl-Click Functionality Some Scratch LIVE screen controls have additional functionality assigned to ctrl-click. You can assign ctrl-click functionality to a MIDI control, alongside the normal functionality. For example, ctrl-click on the internal mode pitch slider returns pitch to zero. To assign this to MIDI control, enter MIDI assign mode, ctrl-click on the slider, and then assign one of the pads to it. Presets MIDI presets are accessible in the MIDI panel of the setup screen. By default the current MIDI assignments in Scratch LIVE are automatically remembered and loaded the next time you start the program. The preset screen allows you to save and recall several different MIDI setups. This is useful if you are using several MIDI devices or want to quickly switch MIDI setups without having to re-assign all your controls. MIDI implementation Scratch LIVE MIDI Control only supports: · Note On/Off · Control Changes (standard 7-bit and 14-bit CC) · RPN/NRPN (14-bit). 14 Scratch LIVE can support an unlimited number of tracks ­ the only limitation is the size of the hard drive of your computer. [. . . ] Scratch LIVE can not be certain that this file will play back 100% accurately. Since corrupt frames are replaced with silence, this could result in what might sound like an audio glitch. The first MPEG audio frame in this file refers to audio that should be present before it but is not. Since a corrupt frame is replaced with silence and most songs start with silence, the resulting silence might not be noticeable. [. . . ]
