int mode allows playing tracks without external
vinyl (or CD) control. INT mode has a start /
stop function and a virtual pitch slider. Holding
down the shift key moves the pitch slider slowly.
Holding the ctrl key and clicking on the pitch
slider resets the pitch to zero.
Scratch Live automatically switches to INT
mode when the end of the control record is
reached; you can switch back to REL mode by
placing the needle in the rst ve minutes of
the control record. If you switch from ABS or
REL into INT mode, Scratch Live automatically
adjusts pitch to maintain playback speed as
set by the turntable. Use the keyboard shortcut
F3 (left deck) or F8 (right deck) to switch to INT
mode.
int mode adds these additional controls:

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
