Mixing with the MP 4

Scratch LIVE software has many features allowing you to smooth- ly mix two tracks together. From left to right, these are:

Rewind – The 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 play- back. 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-18.

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 – The fast forward function speeds up the longer you hold the button.

The Scratch LIVE software has two pitch sliders – a large slider for coarse pitch adjustment, and next to it, 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.

The buttons above the cue points allow you to seed the base

playback speed – half speed, 33/45 or the speed of a 45 rpm recording playing at 33 rpm, normal speed, 45/33 or the speed of a 33 rpm recording playing at 45 rpm, or double speed.

You can also control playback using the computer keyboard

turn Caps Lock on to enable.
