SP-6 ‘PLAy FROM’ SELECTOR
Use the
“Play From”
selector to choose where the track will play from.
You can choose to play a track from the start of
the file, any one of the cue points, or any one of
the loop in points.
When this is set to play from start, or play from
a cue point, the track will play right through until
stopped. When a loop is selected, the track will
play until the loop out point, unless you have
“repeat” on, in which case the track will loop
using the in and out points of the selected loop.
The number of options will be dependent on
the number of cue points and loops already set
in your track. i.e if the track loaded has no cue
points and loops set, then only “start” will be
available as a “Play From” option.
TIP: To set or adjust cue and loop information
for a track, load it to a Virtual Deck, make
your adjustments, then load it back into the
sample slot.
SP-6 TRACk OVERVIEWS
Displays an
overview of the
track loaded to each sample slot. The waveform,
play head position, cue points and selected
loops will all be visible.
SP-6 SLOT VOLUMES
E a c h
individual
sample slot
has a separate volume slider and gain control.
Volume Sliders
- Use the volume slider to mix
and make temporary adjustments to the volume
of the sample you are playing. These sliders act
like your mixer’s, fading from full volume right
through to completely silent.
Gain knobs
- In addition to the volume slider
there is an additional gain knob for each slot.
These allow you to fine tune the maximum
gain volume of the loaded sample. The gain
adjustment will also be written to the track’s ID3
tag, meaning that it will be the same everytime
you load it.

INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT SELECTORS
By default
each sample
slot will be set to Master, mirroring the SP-6
master output setting. You can however, use the
individual output selector buttons to override the
Master output setting.
To send an individual slot to a different output

corresponding slot.
This will unlink the sample slot from the master
sample player output selection, allowing you to
choose the 1, 2, 3 or 4 PGM output for each slot.
These output routings will be saved when you
close down Scratch Live, so the next time you
launch Scratch Live, your preferred settings will
remain the same.

sample banks, labeled A, B, C
and D. To switch between the
different banks click on the A, B, C or D buttons.

to prepare banks for easy recall at a later stage.
Sample Bank A will load as the default.

output for each of the SP-6’s sample

mute the outputs momentarily, meaning that the
audio will only be muted for as long as you hold
your mouse click.

allowing you to create a virtual kill switch for
the sample slot. To MIDI assign momentary
mute, hold ctrl and click on the mute button
before tapping your MIDI controller.
