Internal mode
Int
mode allows you to play tracks without external
vinyl (or CD player) control.
Int
mode has a start /
stop function and virtual pitch slider. Holding
down the
shift
key moves the pitch slider slowly.
Holding the
ctrl
key and clicking on the
pitch
slider
resets it to 33 rpm or 45 rpm, depending on
which you are closest to at the time.
Scratch
LIVE
automatically switches to
int
mode when the end of the control record is
reached; you can switch back to
abs
mode by plac-
ing the needle in the lead-in of the control record.
If you switch from
abs
or
rel
into
int
mode,
Scratch
LIVE
automatically adjusts pitch to main-
tain playback speed as set by the turntable.
Int
mode adds these additional controls.
Rewind
– The rewind function speeds up the longer you
press the button.
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.
Play / pause reverse
– Press to play, press again to stop play-
back. You can adjust the
braking
knob in the
setup
screen
to range from an immediate stop to a slow turntable-style
‘power down’. See page Manual-20.
Play / pause forward
– Press to play, press again to stop
playback. Uses the same
braking
as described above.
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.
Fast forward
– The fast forward function speeds up the
longer you hold the button.
Scratch
LIVE
has two pitch sliders – a large slider for coarse
pitch adjustment, and a small pitch slider for fine adjustments.
Click above or below the handle on the large pitch slider to make
small pitch adjustments, or hold the shift key and drag the pitch
slider to move it slowly. Drag the center of the small pitch slider
to make fine pitch adjustments, or click on either side of the
small slider to pitch bend.
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 de-
fault 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 temp cue point. As soon as you release the key, it
will jump back to the temp cue point. Note that you can use this
shortcut to jump the beginning of the track if the temporary cue
point has not been set. See
Cue points
on the next page.
The buttons above the small pitch slider allow you to seed
the base playback speed –
1/2
(half speed),
33/45
or the speed
of a 45 rpm recording playing at 33 rpm,
1x
or normal speed,
45/33
or the speed of a 33 rpm recording playing at 45 rpm, or
2x
(double speed).
You can also control playback using the computer keyboard
— 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 turn-
table, so there will be a jump in pitch unless they are already
perfectly matched.
Tip: Use the keyboard shortcut
F3
(left deck) or
F8
(right
deck) to switch to
int
mode.
