CONTROL PANEL
On the left side of the screen, click the
Hardware
button to show the hardware control panel.
You can control many of the features of
Scratch Live directly from your TTM 57SL
mixer. The hardware panel shows you what
functions in the software are connected to the
physical controls on the mixer, and allows you
to customize the control assignments. It also
provides an interface for the effects running in
the mixer.
CONTROLLING SCRATCH LIVE FROM
THE TTM 57SL
Each of the controls on the mixer controls a
software function in Scratch Live.
Each parameter knob (labelled
P1
and
P2
on the mixer) has two states. The LED next to
P1
and
P2
on the mixer indicates the state: the
control above applies when the LED is off, the
control below applies when the LED is on. Some
controls, such as “tap tempo”, and “load track”
are momentary.
The joysticks
J1
and
J2
also have two states.
When the LED next to
J1
or
J2
is on, the joystick
controls Scratch Live software. When the LED is
not lit, the joystick acts as a transform switch. To
switch between using the joystick as a control
for Scratch Live and a transform switch, press
the joystick straight down and hold it down.
NOTE: the joystick is also a button, press it
straight down, as if you were trying to push it
into the mixer — you will feel it click.
When you are in transform mode, the LED next
to the joystick is not lit, and its controls on the
Scratch Live hardware panel are grayed out.
groupS
Functions are organized in a series of groups.
Each group contains a bank of software controls.
The first two groups are custom groups,
designed to contain the commands you need
most often during a set. The next four groups
contain other functions ordered by category.
To access a group, press the GROUP button on
the mixer, then press:
B1
– General: Custom group 1, with the most
common commands.
B2
– Library: Custom group 2 — move through
library, make new recordings.
B3
– Playback: Control all playback functions
directly from the mixer.
B4
– Cue/Loop: Full control over all cue points
on both Virtual Decks and looping.
B5
– Recording: Select source and start / stop /
save / play recordings.
B6
– Effects: Select and insert effects. Adjust
effect parameters.
CUSTOMIzING CONTROL
aSSIgnmentS
You can customize almost all of the software
control assignments. To change what a button,
parameter knob or joystick does to Scratch Live,
right-click on the control label. A list appears,
and you can choose the new function you wish
to have associated with that control.
Some software functions can be assigned
to either the left or the right Virtual Deck. If
you choose a function that can be assigned to
a Deck, after you select the function from the
menu, you will be presented with another list.
Choose selected deck to have the function
controlled by the DECK button on the mixer, or
left deck or right deck to have it always apply to
one of the decks.
Any customization resides in the computer,
not in the mixer. This means that if two different
DJs, each with their own laptop, use the same
mixer, each DJ can have their own custom
groups.
