Integrating MIDIcontrollers into your Scratch Live setup canimprove live performance usability, such ashitting pads on a MIDI controller to trigger loopsand cue points.MIDI Controller SetupThe process of setting up a MIDI controller foruse with Scratch Live will vary depending onthe hardware in question. Many devices canconnect to a computer using MIDI over USB,and will either be supported directly by youroperating system, or require installation ofdrivers and configuration utility software. Followthe manufacturers instructions for installation.Other controllers may solely use a MIDI outconnector to send control messages, andwill require a separate MIDI interface unit tocommunicate to software. Generally the MIDIinterface will come with drivers and configurationtools which pass your controller’s output onto anavailable MIDI channel, which can be used byScratch Live.Once your controller is installed andfunctioning correctly, use these directions forassigning controls.Assigning ControlsTo enable MIDI assign mode, clickthe MIDI button. Hovering themouse pointer over a control will bring up theMIDI assignment box, showing the currentassignment status.To assign a MIDI control, click on the controlin Scratch Live, then move the MIDI control. TheMIDI assignment box should update to show ithas mapped the controls to one-another.To un-assign a MIDI control, click on thecontrol in Scratch Live, and press return on yourcomputer keyboard.While in MIDI assign mode, controls whichhave MIDI inputs assigned show a green boxindicator around them.NOTE: Once in MIDI assign mode, ScratchLive controls will no longer respond directlyto the mouse. If you need to change a controlusing the mouse, disable MIDI assign mode.MIDI PlattersThe Scratch Live Virtual Decks are not userassignable to MIDI control. MIDI devices withplatters on them all send different data so usermapping is not possible. To control the platteruse a natively supported controller.Assigning MIDI to Other ControlsControls which arenot normally visibleare available for assignment when in MIDIassign mode by clicking on the Show MIDIPanel button. This will open up a panel allowingMIDI assignment for controls including librarynavigation as well as additional Deck functionssuch as fine pitch control and extended cue andlooping features.RANE SL 4 FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.2.2 23
