PIONEER CDJ-400
To use a pair of CDJ400s with Scratch LIVE, you
will need at least 3 available USB ports.
If you don’t have 3 ports available you may be
able to connect your CDJ400s to a powered
USB hub. It is however, important to always
connect your Scratch LIVE hardware directly to
your computer.
First, make sure you are running Scratch LIVE
1.8.2 or later. (Earlier versions do not
support the CDJ400)
Connect your Scratch LIVE hardware (SSL1,
TTM57 or the MP4) as per normal into an
available USB port on your computer.
Do the same with both of your CDJ400s,
connecting each player to separate USB ports.
Start Scratch LIVE and set each virtual deck to
Internal Mode.
Turn on both CDJ400s, and switch them to USB
mode by pressing the button in the top left
corner marked USB. You will then be prompted
to choose which Scratch LIVE deck you want
your CDJ to control. Rotate the “push select”
knob to toggle between left and right.
You will now be able to control Scratch LIVE with
your CDJ400s.
CDJ400s can also be used to play regular Cds.
To do this just connect the CDJs Audio outs
(RCA) to your Scratch LIVE hardware as you
would your regular CD players.
