Groups
Functions are organized in a series of groups. Each group con-
tains a bank of software controls. The first two groups are cus-
tom groups, designed to contain the commands you need most
often during a set. You should customize these groups to suit
your needs (see page Manual-34). The next four groups contain
other functions ordered by category.
To access a group, press the
GROUP
button on the mixer,
then press:
B1 – general:
Custom group 1, with the most common com-
mands.
B2 – library:
Custom group 2 — move through library, make
new recordings.
B3 – playback:
Control all playback functions directly from the
mixer.
B4 – cue/loop:
Full control over all cue points on both Virtual
Decks and looping.
B5 – recording:
Select source and start / stop / save / play
recordings.
B6 – effects:
Select and insert effects. Adjust effect parameters.
Customizing the control assignments
You can customize almost all of the software control assign-
ments. To change what a button, parameter knob or joystick
does to Scratch
LIVE
,
right-click on the control label
. A list ap-
pears, and you can choose the new function you wish to have
associated with that control.
Some software functions can be assigned to either the left
or the right Virtual Deck. If you choose a function that can be
assigned to a Deck, after you select the function from the menu,
you will be presented with another list. Choose
selected deck
to have the function controlled by the
DECK
button on the
mixer, or
left deck
or
right deck
to have it always apply to one
of the decks.
Any customization resides in the computer, not in the mixer.
This means that if two different DJs, each with their own laptop,
use the same mixer, each DJ can have their own custom groups.
