INTERNAL MODE
int
mode allows playing tracks without external
vinyl (or CD) control. INT mode has a start /
stop function and a virtual pitch slider. Holding
down the shift key moves the pitch slider slowly.
Holding the ctrl key and clicking on the pitch
slider resets the pitch to zero.
Scratch Live automatically switches to INT
mode when the end of the control record is
reached; you can switch back to REL mode by
placing the needle in the first five minutes of
the control record. If you switch from ABS or
REL into INT mode, Scratch Live automatically
adjusts pitch to maintain playback speed as
set by the turntable. Use the keyboard shortcut
F3 (left deck) or F8 (right deck) to switch to INT
mode.
int
mode adds these additional controls:
Play / pause reverse
- Press to play,
press again to stop playback. You can
adjust the braking knob in the setup screen
to range from an immediate stop to a slow
turntable-style ‘power down’.
SEE “BRAkING”
ON PAGE 39
.
Play / pause forward
- Press to play,
press again to stop playback. Uses the
same braking as described above.
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.
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.
Pitch Slider
- Use the pitch slider to
make pitch adjustments while using
INT mode. Drag the pitch slider with the
mouse to make large pitch movements,
or hold the shift key and drag the pitch
slider to make fine adjustments.
Clicking the
RANGE
button above
the slider changes the slider range to
±8%, ±10%, ±16%, ±50% or ±100%.
TEMPORARy CUE
There is a temporary cue point that can be used
like the cue button on many DJ CD players.
Press ctrl-
I
to set this temporary cue point on
the Left Deck, and ctrl-K to set it on the Right
Deck. This temp cue point is shown in the main
waveform as a white marker. This cue point is
not saved with the track, and by default is set to
the beginning of the track. Press
I
to jump to this
temporary cue point on the Left Deck, and K for
the Right Deck. If you hold down the
I
or K key
while the track is stopped, it will play from the
temporary cue point. As soon as you release the
key, it will jump back to the temporary cue point.
Note that you can use this shortcut to jump to
the beginning of the track if the temporary cue
point has not been set.

computer keyboard shortcuts — turn Caps Lock
on to enable.

Click on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make fine
adjustments to your position within the track.
This may be useful if you wish to set cue points
in your tracks, and don’t have your turntables or
CD players connected.
NOTE: If you play a track in INT mode, and
then switch to ABS or REL mode, the pitch
adjustment will be dictated by the turntable,
so there will be a jump in pitch unless they are
already perfectly matched.
TIP: If you are in ABS or REL mode and you
get a build up of dust on the needle that is
breaking up the audio, hold down ctrl and
press the INT button. This will take you to INT
mode and reset the pitch to zero.
