Setup
This section covers general preferences
and adjustments you can make to improve
the performance of Scratch Live. From the
top of the main screen, click on
SETUP
to
get to this area.
Hardware: General
USB Buffer Size (Latency)
Scratch Live processes audio in small
chunks. When smaller chunks are
used, the movement of the record is
translated into audio more often, which
results in a lower overall system latency.
However, this requires more processing
and therefore a higher CPU load, so
lower buffer size settings require a
more powerful computer to produce
uninterrupted audio. If you want tighter
control, try decreasing this setting. On
the other hand, if you experience audio
dropouts, you need to increase this
setting (or use a more powerful computer).
Updating Firmware
If a firmware update is available after
installing a new Scratch Live software
release, an
Update Firmware
button
appears in the Hardware screen. During
the firmware upgrade the Sixty-Two will
not be usable. Only connect one USB port
during a firmware update.
Control Source
Select the Input you wish to use as
your control source for both PGM 1 and
PGM 2. Select 1 or 2 for PGM 1 and 3 or
4 for PGM 2.
The default control sources are Inputs
1 and 3. To reset the defaults of Control
Sources, Phono Sensitivities, Channel
Filter Resonances, Flanger, Echo and
Filter Type to default settings,
See
“Factory Defaults” on page 15.
MIDI Assign of Mixer Controls
Check this box to allow the mixer controls
to be custom MIDI-mapped in Scratch
Live.
See “MIDI Mapping” on page 41
.
Input Select Status
The input level currently set on the Sixty-
Two is displayed for each input. To change
the input level setting, use the switches on
the Sixty-Two. Choose
PH
for Phono and
CD
for Line level.
When Phono is selected, the
Phono
Sensitivity
setting is also displayed. Click
the down-arrow to display a list of 16
sensitivity settings between 2.5 mV and
10 mV in 0.5 mV steps. The default is 5
mV. Set the Phono Sensitivity to the same
level of your cartridge (see your cartridge
documentation for the correct value).
Another method is to match the level of a
CD on another input.
Recording Bit Depth
Choose to record in either
16-Bit
(CD
quality, smaller file size) or
24-Bit
(high
quality, larger file size).
see ”Recording”
on page 39.
Hardware: Effects
Filter
Choose between:
• High-Pass Sync High
• High-Pass Sync Low
• Low-Pass Sync High
• Low-Pass Sync Low
Flanger
Choose between modes:
• Positive Feedback
• Negative Feedback
Echo
Choose between:
• Echo
• High Pass Echo
• Hold Echo
• High Pass Hold Echo
For High Pass Echo and High Pass Hold
Echo, you can adjust the cutoff frequency
of the High Pass filter.
Channel Filters
Adjust the Resonance for the PGM 1,
PGM 2 and AUX channel filters. High
Resonance adds a “zip” effect to the
Filter when it is moved. Low resonance is
best when the Filter is used for mixing to
extreme lows or highs.
See the “Effects Parameter Table” on
page 13.
Default Effects settings are:
• Low-Pass Filter with high-frequency
sync.
• Flanger with positive feedback.
• Echo with no feedback filter.
• Echo filter frequencies to 82 Hz.
To reset the defaults of Control Sources,
Phono Sensitivities, Channel Filter
Resonances, Flanger, Echo and Filter
Type to default settings,
See “Factory
Defaults” on page 15.
