The SP-6 Sample Player allows you to play up
to six sources of audio, in addition to the tracks
playing on the Virtual Decks. Any audio le in
your Scratch Live library can be loaded to any
one of the six slots, allowing playback of short
samples, sound effects, or full length tracks.
The SP-6 is enabled when the SL4 is plugged
in, but not operational in the ofine player mode.
Click on the SP-6 button to access the sample
player window. In the top
right corner of the SP-6
there is a button which
opens the Display Menu.
Clicking on this drops down
a menu with the list of
available controls:
•  Chooses the play mode: Trigger / On-
Off / Hold / Repeat modes.

You can instant double from the Virtual Decks
down to the SP-6, from the SP-6 up to the
Virtual Decks and also between the sample slots
themselves. This means the position, track gain
and speed will match when you drag a track to
from one location into another. This allows you
to beat match tracks with your turntables/CD
players on the Virtual Decks, and then “instant
double” the track down to a slot, freeing up the
Virtual Decks to continue your mix with other
tracks. Click and drag an already playing track
from a Virtual Deck or sample slot and drop it on
another sample slot to begin instant doubling.

Each sample slot has three different play modes:
  - When play is pressed,
the audio plays through until the end of
the track. Pressing repetitively will trigger the
audio from the beginning of the track. To stop
the audio, hold the alt key while either clicking
the play button, or pressing the corresponding
shortcut key (e.g., alt - z for slot one).
  - The sample will only play
while you press and hold the play button
or the corresponding shortcut key. Upon release
of the play button, the audio stops immediately.
This mode most closely resembles the function
of the “note off” mode found on many samplers.
 - When play is pressed,
the audio plays through until the end of
the track. Pressing play again stops the audio.
  - Each slot has a repeat
button. When activated, this will repeat
the loaded audio le from beginning to end, or
will turn on the loop selected in the “play from”
eld.
