RANE SL4 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.5.0

Internal Mode

INT mode allows playing tracks without

external vinyl (or CD) control. INT mode

has a start / stop function and a virtual

pitch slider. Holding down the shift key

moves the pitch slider slowly. Holding the

ctrl key and clicking on the pitch slider

resets the pitch to zero.

Scratch Live automatically switches

to INT mode when the end of the control

record is reached; you can switch back

to REL mode by placing the needle in the

rst ve minutes of the control record.

If you switch from ABS or REL into INT

mode, Scratch Live automatically adjusts

pitch to maintain playback speed as

set by the turntable. Use the keyboard

shortcut F3 (left deck) or F8 (right deck) to

switch to INT mode.

INT mode adds these additional controls:

Play / pause reverse - Press to

play, press again to stop playback.

You can adjust the braking knob in the

setup screen to range from an immediate

stop to a slow turntable-style ‘power

down’. See “Braking (INT Mode)” on

page 33.

Play / pause forward – Press to

play, press again to stop playback.

Uses the same braking as described

above.

Bend down - Create a temporary

decrease in the playback speed.

Use bend down if the two tracks are in

time, but this track is slightly ahead of the

other track.

Bend up – Create a temporary

increase in the playback speed. Use

bend up if the two tracks are in time, but

this track is slightly behind the other track.

Pitch Slider - Use the pitch slider

to make pitch adjustments while

using INT mode. Drag the pitch

slider with the mouse to make large

pitch movements, or hold the shift

key and drag the pitch slider to

make ne adjustments.

Clicking the RANGE button

above the slider changes the slider

range to ±8%, ±10%, ±16%,

±50% or ±100%.

Temporary Cue

There is a temporary cue point that can be

used like the cue button on many DJ CD

players. Press ctrl-I to set this temporary

cue point on the Left Deck, and ctrl-K to

set it on the Right Deck. This temp cue

point is shown in the main waveform as a

white marker. This cue point is not saved

with the track, and by default is set to the

beginning of the track. Press I to jump to

this temporary cue point on the Left Deck,

and K for the Right Deck. If you hold down

the I or K key while the track is stopped, it

will play from the temporary cue point. As

soon as you release the key, it will jump

back to the temporary cue point. Note

that you can use this shortcut to jump to

the beginning of the track if the temporary

cue point has not been set. See “Cue

Points” on page 18.

More Controls

You can also control playback using the

computer keyboard shortcuts—turn Caps

Lock on to enable. See “Playback Keys

Use Shift” on page 32.

Click on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make

ne adjustments to your position within

the track. This may be useful if you wish

to set cue points in your tracks, and

don’t have your turntables or CD players

connected.

NOTE: If you play a track in INT mode,

and then switch to ABS or REL 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: If you are in ABS or REL mode and

you get a build up of dust on the needle

that is breaking up the audio, hold

down ctrl and press the INT button.

This will take you to INT mode and

reset the pitch to zero.
