21 Quarter-note scratching
Now that you’ve tried out the Scratch Pad and some different Scratch sounds, let’s get started using
the Scratch Pad in real musical examples.
Quarter notes are the simplest to scratch in time with, since you simply scratch on every downbeat.
In this example, select P12 and start up V A1. Rock the pad forward (clockwise) on the first down-
beat, then rock it back (counter-clockwise) on the second downbeat, and so on. Notice that the
scratch sound is actually a musical part that changes with the chords in the Pattern. Tap your foot
or your heel with the beats (count out loud if you want, too!), and try to hit each beat with a scratch!
Try different scratch “lengths” as well — for example, scratching forward for a short 1/8 turn, and
back for a long 1/2 turn. Stay on the beat!
