FINALSCRATCH®

PLAY DIGITAL... THE ANALOG WAY.

FinalScratch® is the best and only real bridge for the professional and home DJ to enter and control the digital world. The turntable becomes a simple controller that enables DJs to manipulate digital audio files stored on your hard drive. Just load any audio file onto your computer, then pick and choose from your own playlist. Your

computer becomes your record box. As well for the producer, save and load any production, remix, or new edit you have created and play it that very moment or take it to gig the same night without the need to cut an acetate or make test pressings. The package includes three special vinyl records, the ScratchAmpTM to connect the computer to your existing turntable/mixer setup, and the FinalScratch software.

Software

The FinalScratch software allows the user to save the audio files in various playlists, called Record Boxes, as well to search and assign the audio files to either turntable. The software provides a visual representation of the music, needle posi- tion for each audio file, and remaining time of each audio file.

Records

The vinyl records included in the FinalScratch, which contain digital infor- mation, are used to mix the digital audio files. All mixing is done directly from the turntables, including pitch shifting, cueing,

spinning up and down, and even scratching. The FinalScratch records can be used in combination with traditional analog records when mixing your set.

Hardware

The ScratchAmp is a powerful sound card to connect all the components together to form the system. It provides 2 sets of phono inputs and outputs and 2 sets of line outputs. The ScratchAmp processes the signal from the FinalScratch records and sends it to the computer via USB.
