7.Click Finish once installation is complete. Scratch Live appears in the Start Menu under All Programs > Serato > Scratch Live.

Windows XP treats each USB port individually. You might like to install Scratch LIVE on all of your USB ports, so you can connect the hardware to any port.

As soon as you install the device driver, the operating system does not see the MP 4. That means you can either [A] not install anything, and windows will see the MP 4, or [B] install Scratch LIVE and the ASIO driver, and then you can use the MP 4 with Scratch LIVE or an ASIO application only.

Windows Vista

When you plug in your hardware:

1.A Found New Hardware wizard will pop up.

2.Choose "Locate and install driver software"

3.After Windows looks for the driver it will say "Windows couldn't find driver software for your device. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software"

4.Browse to the location that you extracted the ScratchLIVE .zip file to. Choose the Drivers folder.

5.Click next and Windows will say "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software". Click "Install this driver software anyway".

6.When you see the bubble "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use," proceed to install the Scratch LIVE driver.

Windows Troubleshooting

If you have a USB PCI card, your computer may have allocated bandwith to other devices, including your mouse, preventing Scratch LIVE from recognising the MP 4. Unplug unneccesary devices and install Scratch LIVE again. You may need to tempo- rarily move your mouse to the built-in USB port. After installa- tion, reconnect USB units as needed.

If other USB devices steal bandwidth, you may get a “inter- face disconnected” message when launching Scratch LIVE, try unplugging and re-plugging in the MP 4.

The ASIO Bit Depth and “Ask host to process during callback” settings should not be adjusted unless you are having problems.

Uncheck “Ask host to process during callback” if you have audio dropouts. Your application may not support an ASIO bitdepth of 32-bit. If this is the case, there will be no audio sent to the MP 4.

Third-Party Software

The MP 4 can be used with third party software, as well as the Scratch LIVE software that comes with it. When you install Scratch LIVE, an ASIO driver will also be installed. You can use the MP 4 as a sound card for any third party software that sup- ports the ASIO standard. Go to the audio interface control panel in the third party software, and choose the MP 4 Driver. Launch Control Panel to access more settings for the MP 4 ASIO driver.
