ctRL-cLick FunctiOnaLity
Some Scratch Live controls on the GUI have
additional functionality assigned to ctrl-click.
You can assign ctrl-click functionality to a MIDI
control, alongside the normal functionality. For
example, ctrl-click on the INT mode pitch slider
returns pitch to zero. To assign this to MIDI
control, enter MIDI assign mode, ctrl-click on
the slider, and then assign one of the pads to it.
When you press the pad, pitch goes to 0.
pReSetS
MIDI presets are accessible in the MIDI panel of
the Setup screen. By default, the current MIDI
assignments in Scratch Live are automatically
remembered and loaded next time you start the
program. The Preset panel allows you to save
and recall several different MIDI setups. This
is useful if you are using several MIDI devices
or want to quickly switch MIDI setups without
having to reassign all your controls.

Scratch Live supports several ways of organizing
and sorting your le library. iTunes users will
notice that Scratch Live can incorporate your
existing iTunes library and playlists.
Scratch Live uses digital “crates” for quick
access to your favorite collections. There is no
limit to the number of crates you can create, and
any given track can be placed in multiple crates.
For example, you could organize your les into
the following crates, where any one track would
be led in more than one crate:
• Hip Hop
• UK Hip Hop
• French Hip Hop
• Inst Hip Hop
• Old Hip Hop
• Hip Hop LPs
To make a new crate, click the Add New Crate
button in the bottom left corner of the main
screen (brown crate icon). To rename a
crate, double click the crate name.
You can change the order of tracks within a
crate by sorting by the “#” column and dragging
them up or down.
