Searching

Scratch Live includes

a search function to

quickly and easily.

Enter text into the

search box and

Scratch Live will

automatically nd as

you type. To select

which elds the

search function will

look through, click on

the left hand side of the search box. The

drop down menu shows which elds are

currently being used. Press esc or the x

button on the right of the search box to

clear the search.

TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut

‘ctrl-f’ to jump to the search box. This

keyboard shortcut will also take you out

of any crate or playlist that you might

be in and into your main library, so you

can ﬁnd any track in your collection. If

you then click on a crate or playlist, the

search query will be cleared.

TIP: Check the ‘Protect library’ option

in the Library tab of the Setup screen to

prevent changes to your crates. If you

do delete a crate by accident, you can

get it back from the recycle bin / trash.

Crate ﬁles have the extension .crate.

Subcrates

You can drag and drop crates into other

crates to make subcrates. If you drag a

crate to the very left of the crate panel,

it will stay in the top level of the crate

structure. If you drag the crate a little to

the right, onto the name of another crate,

it will make the crate you are dragging a

sub crate of the rst crate.

Smart Crates

Smart crates are crates which update

their contents by using keywords which

are matched with selected tags of your

music library tracks. Smart crates can

be updated automatically or at your

discretion.

To create a smart crate, click the Add

Smart Crate button in the bottom left

corner of the main screen

(blue

crate icon). A popup window will open

which allows you to add the rules to ll

your smart crate. Press Add Rule to add a

rule for the smart crate to match with. For

each rule you can choose a eld to match
