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.
See “Cue
Points” on page 26.
More Controls
You can also control playback using the
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.
Cue Points
Use cue points in Scratch Live to mark
and trigger different parts of your tracks.
The cue point markers are saved with the
file in the track’s ID3 tag. This means they
will be present each time you load the
track.
Setting Cue Points
You can set up to five cue points for each
track. Click on the
+
button to place a
cue point, or use the keyboard shortcuts
below. A cue point will be set at the
current playhead position of the track and
can occupy any of the 5 slots.
Use the keyboard shortcuts: ctrl-
comma (for left) and ctrl-period (for right)
to place cue points in chronological order.
Alternatively, use ctrl-1 through 0 to set a
specific cue point, i.e., to set a cue point
on the Left Deck in slot 2, press ctrl-2.
Notice the stripe on the Virtual Deck
jumps to the 12 o’clock position and
changes color when you set a cue point
– you are at the cue point when the stripe
is one solid color and at the 12 o’clock
position. As the track plays on beyond the
position of the cue point, the colored bar
shortens by a fifth for each rotation.
Likewise, as you approach the cue point,
the color will grow by a fifth each rotation.
For example, the picture below shows the
track just before the end of the 5th
rotation before the cue point.
