6. Move the Parameter Knob to the<br />

Knob by pressing the Link button.<br />

Now when you adjust the Ultra or Super Knob<br />

you will see the parameter knob move within the<br />

range that you just specified. Any parameters<br />

not customized but linked to the Super or Ultra<br />

Knob will behave as normal.<br />

You can save any macro mappings<br />

you have made to an effect by clicking<br />

MIDI Control<br />

The MIDI Control feature in <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong> provides<br />

the ability to map MIDI controls to <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong><br />

controls, and thus control the functions of <strong>Scratch</strong><br />

<strong>Live</strong> using MIDI controllers such as keyboards,<br />

triggers, sliders, and knobs. Integrating MIDI<br />

controllers into your <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong> setup can<br />

improve live per<strong>for</strong>mance usability, such as<br />

hitting pads on a MIDI controller to trigger loops<br />

and cue points.<br />

MIDI Controller Setup<br />

The process of setting up a MIDI controller <strong>for</strong><br />

use with <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong> will vary depending on<br />

the hardware in question. Many devices can<br />

connect to a <strong>com</strong>puter using MIDI over USB,<br />

and will either be supported directly by your<br />

operating system, or require installation of<br />

drivers and configuration utility software. Follow<br />

the manufacturers instructions <strong>for</strong> installation.<br />

Other controllers may solely use a MIDI out<br />

connector to send control messages, and<br />

will require a separate MIDI interface unit to<br />

<strong>com</strong>municate to software. Generally the MIDI<br />

interface will <strong>com</strong>e with drivers and configuration<br />

tools which pass your controller’s output onto an<br />

available MIDI channel, which can be used by<br />

<strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong>.<br />

Once your controller is installed and<br />

functioning correctly, use these directions <strong>for</strong><br />

assigning controls.<br />

Assigning Controls<br />

To enable MIDI assign mode, click<br />

the MIDI button. Hovering the<br />

mouse pointer over a control will bring up the<br />

MIDI assignment box, showing the current<br />

assignment status.<br />

To assign a MIDI control, click on the control<br />

in <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong>, then move the MIDI control. The<br />

MIDI assignment box should update to show it<br />

has mapped the controls to one-another.<br />

To un-assign a MIDI control, click on the<br />

control in <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong>, and press return on your<br />

<strong>com</strong>puter keyboard.<br />

While in MIDI assign mode, controls which<br />

have MIDI inputs assigned show a green box<br />

indicator around them.<br />

NOTE: Once in MIDI assign mode, <strong>Scratch</strong><br />

<strong>Live</strong> controls will no longer respond directly<br />

to the mouse. If you need to change a control<br />

using the mouse, disable MIDI assign mode.<br />

MIDI Platters<br />

The <strong>Scratch</strong> <strong>Live</strong> Virtual Decks are not user<br />

assignable to MIDI control. MIDI devices with<br />

platters on them all send different data so user<br />

mapping is not possible. To control the platter<br />

use a natively supported controller.<br />

Assigning MIDI to Other Controls<br />

Controls which are<br />

not normally visible<br />

are available <strong>for</strong> assignment when in MIDI<br />

assign mode by clicking on the Show MIDI<br />

Panel button. This will open up a panel allowing<br />

MIDI assignment <strong>for</strong> controls including library<br />

navigation as well as additional Deck functions<br />

such as fine pitch control and extended cue and<br />

looping features.<br />
