smoothly mix two tracks together. From left to right, these are:
Rewind – e rewind function speeds up the longer you press
the button.
Bend down – Create a temporary decrease in the playback
speed. Use bend down if the two tracks are in time, but this
track is slightly ahead of the other track.
Play / pause reverse – Press to play, press again to stop
playback. You can adjust the
brake speed
knob in the
setup
screen to range from an immediate stop to a slow
turntable-style ‘powerdown’. See page Manual-17.
Play / pause forward – Press to play, press again to stop play-
back. Uses the same
brake speed
as described above.
Bend up – Create a temporary increase in the playback speed.
Use bend up if the two tracks are in time, but this track is
slightly behind the other track.
Fast forward – e fast forward function speeds up the longer
you hold the button.
e Scratch LIVE software has two pitch sliders – a large
slider for coarse pitch adjustment, and a small pitch slider for
fine adjustments. Click above or below the handle on the large
pitch slider to make small pitch adjustments, or hold the shift
key and drag the pitch slider to move it slowly. Drag the center
of the small pitch slider to make fine pitch adjustments, or click
on either side of the small slider to pitch bend.
e buttons above the small pitch slider allow you to seed the
base playback speed – half speed, 33/45 or the speed of a 45 rpm
