Scratch LIVE modes
Scratch LIVE has three different modes of operation. You can
switch between these modes by clicking the mode buttons near
the Virtual Deck.
Absolute mode
Absolute mode is the default mode, and most closely resem
-
bles the properties of normal vinyl. e beginning of the track
is mapped to the start of the record, and by picking up the tone
arm and moving the needle to another part of the record (needle
dropping) you can move to a different position within the track.
Absolute mode faithfully reproduces the movement of vinyl
control records, including stops, starts, scratching, needle drop-
ping, rubbing and other turntablist techniques.
When you reach the end of the record, Scratch LIVE auto-
matically switches to Internal mode. is is known as Emergen-
cy Internal mode, and prevents long tracks from stopping when
you run out of record. You can switch from Emergency Internal
mode to absolute mode by lifting the needle and placing it in the
lead-in of the control record.
Note: Be careful when scratching near the end of the record
not to accidentally go past this point and into Internal mode
– the track will no longer respond to record movement!
Tip: Use the keyboard shortcut F1 (left deck) or F6 (right
deck) to switch to Absolute mode.
Relative mode
Relative mode observes the relative forward and backward
movement of the record, but does not take into account the posi
-
tion within the record. Relative mode disables needle dropping,
but allows skip-free scratching.
Tip: Use the keyboard shortcut F2 (left deck) or F7 (right
deck) to switch to Relative mode.
Internal mode
Internal mode allows you to play tracks without external
vinyl (or CD player) control. Internal mode has a start / stop
function and virtual pitch slider. Holding down the shift key
moves the pitch slider slowly. Holding the ctrl key and clicking
on the pitch slider resets it to 33 rpm or 45 rpm, depending on
which you are closest to at the time.
Scratch
LIVE automatically switches to Internal mode when
the end of the control record is reached; you can switch back to
Absolute mode by placing the needle in the lead-in of the
control record.
If you switch from Absolute or Relative into Internal
mode, Scratch LIVE automatically adjusts pitch to main-
tain playback speed as set by the turntable.
Click on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make fine adjust-
ments to your position within the track. is may be
useful if you wish to set markers in your tracks, and don’t
have your turntables or CD players connected.
Note : If you play a track in Internal mode, and then
switch to Absolute or Relative mode, the pitch adjustment
will be dictated by the turntable, so there will be a jump
in pitch unless they are already perfectly matched.
Tip: Use the keyboard shortcut F3 (left deck) or F8
(right deck) to switch to Internal mode.
Repeat
Use the repeat function to repeat the song
across the entire length of the control record.
Tip: Short “loop” samples can be turned
into a continuous track using repeat func-
tion. e loops need to be less than 10 seconds
long, and cut at the start and end of a bar.
