MP 4 Overview
The MP 4 combines Rane mixer technology and Serato Scratch
LIVE software. The result is a mixer with the flexibility of playing
digital music directly from your computer while still supporting
traditional analog inputs. This two-bus mixer is able to simulta-
neously play stereo analog sources, play stereo digital files, and
digitally record Mic, Program A, Program B or Main-mix. You
can also operate the MP 4 as a stand-alone analog mixer without
a computer, or use it as a high-quality six-channel sound card
with Serato Scratch LIVE software, without analog sources.
The MP 4 is targeted at mobile DJ, night club, remix project
studio and post production applications. The Scratch LIVE MP 4
control screen includes many advanced features that enhance its
ability to mix and blend:
• Play / pause control, both forward and reverse
• Pitch ± and bend controls for fine tuning beat matching
• Fast forward and reverse
• Multiple cue points per track
• Censor (reverse a section without losing play position)
• Fader Start; Scrub track with mouse; Autoplay Crate…
and more.
The MP 4 is not a performance scratch mixer. It does not use
control vinyl or CDs and does not have a scratch fader.
While the MP 4 may be used as a generic sound card with
other software applications, for best performance and support we
highly recommend using Scratch LIVE . Performance using other
applications may vary and compatibility is not guaranteed.
The computer sees the MP 4 as three USB audio devices (two
stereo play and one stereo record). ASIO (for PC) and CoreAudio
(for Mac) drivers are included. The digital audio format is 24-bit,
3-byte PCM with a 48 kHz sample rate.
Inputs
PROGRAM A and
B INPUT switches select between the two
LINE and two USB Inputs. LINE 1 and LINE 2 are set for
PHONO level or LINE level using the associated push switch on the
rear panel.
PROGRAM A and B each feature LOW and HIGH tone and
LEVEL controls. Four-segment program level meters indicate
signals from –24 to +12. Clipping occurs at +22.
The balanced MIC input features a full-range LEVEL control
and is mixed with the Main-mix post-crossfader.
Outputs
Two stereo analog outputs are provided. The
HOUSE output is
available on both balanced XLR and balanced ¼" TRS connec-
tors. The AUX output is available on balanced ¼" TRS connec-
tors and has an independent rear panel LEVEL control.
Recording
One USB stereo output is available for recording. Scratch
LIVE
software allows selecting Mic, Program A, Program B or Main-
mix as the source. (see page Manual-15). The MIC TO USB
RECORD switch located on the rear panel determines if the Mic
is included in the USB Main-mix record output. The ability to
record lets you archive your analog sources, record samples to use
in your performance or to record your performance.
Cueing
Headphone Cueing allows independent selection of the Program
A or Program B input, making it possible to Cue any source
(digital or analog) with the push of a switch. The PAN PGM / CUE
control lets you Pan between the selected Cue input (pre-Cross-
fader) and the Main-mix (post-Crossfader).
