Scratch Live gives you the option of 
four different display modes to suit your 
style of performance. The Display Mode 
buttons are located in the top left of the 
Main Screen. They are:

Library Mode:

 Maximizes your 

library space by minimizing the 
Virtual Deck information displayed. In 
Library Mode only the track information, 
Virtual Deck, mode, track overview display 
and meter are displayed.

TIP: Use the space bar to toggle 
between Library Mode and your current 
display mode.

Classic Vertical Mode:

 Two 

Decks are displayed on the left 
and right sides of the screen with vertical 
waveforms in the middle.

Classic Horizontal Mode:

 Two 

Decks are displayed on the 
left and right sides of the screen with 
horizontal waveforms in the middle.

2-Deck Stack Mode:

 Two Decks 

are stacked on top of each other 
in a horizontal fashion. Stack Mode aligns 
the waveforms on top of each other, while 
maximizing waveform space. The controls 
for all Decks can be shown or hidden by 
pressing the Show Deck Controls Button 
on any Deck.

You can choose between four different 
library views which allow for visual 
browsing using text and album art. Select 
your Library View by using the buttons in 
the bottom left area of the main screen. 
The available Library Views are:

Simple List:

 Displays the track 

information in a text list.

Album Art List:

 Adds an album art 

column to the Simple List mode.

Album Art Grid 1:

 Displays the 

album art as a grid with the track 
information text to the right.

Album Art Grid 2:

 Displays the 

album art as a grid with the track 
information text below.

NOTE: Your files must have album 
art added for it to be displayed. See 
“Adding Album Art” on page 37.

TIP: For all views you can adjust the 
font size by using the Font Size slider in 
the Library tab on the Setup screen. For 
all Album Art views you can adjust the 
album art size using the Album Art Size 
slider in the same area.

Scratch Live 

Modes

Scratch Live has three different modes of 
operation. You can switch between these 
modes by clicking the mode buttons near 
each Virtual Deck.
