Scratch

LIVE

software has many features allowing you to smooth-

ly mix two tracks together. From left to right, these are:

Rewind

– The rewind function speeds up the longer you press

the button.

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.

Play / pause reverse

– Press to play, press again to stop play-

back. You can adjust the

brake speed

knob in the

setup

screen to range from an immediate stop to a slow turntable-

style ‘powerdown’. See page Manual-18.

Play / pause forward

– Press to play, press again to stop play-

back. Uses the same

brake speed

as described above.

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.

Fast forward

– The fast forward function speeds up the longer

you hold the button.

The Scratch

LIVE

software has two pitch sliders – a large slider

for coarse pitch adjustment, and next to it, a small pitch slider for

fine adjustments. Click above or below the handle on the large

pitch slider to make small pitch adjustments, or hold the shift

key and drag the pitch slider to move it slowly. Drag the center of

the small pitch slider to make fine pitch adjustments, or click on

either side of the small slider to pitch bend.
