RANE SIXTY-ONE FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • QUICK START 2.4

VIRTUAL DECKS

TRACK DISPLAY

When a track is loaded, the track name, artist

and length are displayed in the track title bar,

and the Virtual Deck shows a solid black line.

The Virtual Deck

shows everything

about the speed

and position of a

track. As the vinyl

rotates, so does the

line on the label. The

circular progress bar

around the edge is a visual representation of the

position within the song, and can be set to ash

to warn you that the track is nearing its end. The

time and remaining time are displayed in minutes

and seconds. The pitched BPM (BPM with pitch

adjustment multiplier added) is shown on the left

of the Virtual Deck, and the turntable speed as

a percentage pitch shift is shown on the right

of the Virtual Deck. If the track has no BPM

information, pitched BPM will not be shown.

If you are playing regular vinyl, notice the

Virtual Deck behaving strangely as Scratch Live

attempts to decode the incoming signal. This will

not cause any problems, but you may nd it

distracting. You can unload the currently loaded

track using the Virtual Deck eject button.

SCRATCH LIVE MODES

Scratch Live has three different modes of

operation. You can switch between these modes

by clicking the mode buttons near each Virtual

Deck.

ABSOLUTE MODE

ABS mode is the default mode, and most closely

resembles the properties of normal vinyl. The

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.

ABS mode faithfully reproduces the movement

of vinyl control records, including stops, starts,

scratching, needle dropping, rubbing and other

turntablist techniques.

When you reach the end of the record

using either REL or ABS modes, Scratch Live

automatically switches to INT mode. This

is known as Emergency Internal mode, and

prevents long tracks from stopping when you run

out of record. You can switch from Emergency

Internal mode to ABS mode by lifting the needle

and placing it in the lead-in of the control record.

Emergency Internal mode will activate after 1

second. Use the keyboard shortcut F1 (left deck)

or F6 (right deck) to switch to ABS mode.

NOTE: Be careful when scratching near the

end of the record not to accidentally go past

this point and into internal mode, or the track

will no longer respond to record movement!

RELATIVE MODE

REL mode observes the relative forward and

backward movement of the record, but does not

take into account the position within the record.

REL mode disables needle dropping, but allows

skip-free scratching.

See: “Drop To Absolute Position” in the manual.

REL mode adds additional speed controls:

Previous track – Go to the previous track

in the list.

Rewind - The rewind function speeds up

the longer you press the button.

Fast forward – The fast forward function

speeds up the longer you hold the button.

Next track – Jump to the next track in

the list.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut F2 (left deck)

or F7 (right deck) to switch to REL mode.
