INTERNAL MODE
int mode allows you to play tracks without
external vinyl (or CD player) control. Internal
mode has a start / stop function and virtual
pitch slider. Holding down the shift key moves
the pitch slider slowly. Holding the ctrl key and
clicking on the pitch slider resets it to 33 RPM or
45 RPM, depending on which you are closest to
at the time.
Scratch Live automatically switches to internal
mode when the end of the control record is
reached; you can switch back to absolute mode
by placing the needle in the lead-in of the control
record. If you switch from absolute or relative
into internal mode, Scratch Live automatically
adjusts pitch to maintain playback speed as set
by the turntable.Use the keyboard shortcut F3
(left deck) or F8 (right deck) to switch to internal
mode.
int mode adds these additional controls:
Play / pause reverse - Press to play,
press again to stop playback. You can
adjust the braking knob in the setup
screen to range from an immediate stop to a
slow turntable-style ‘power down’.
Play / pause forward – Press to play,
press again to stop playback. Uses the
same braking as described above.
Bend down - Create a temporary
decrease in the playback speed. Use
bend down if the two tracks are in time, but this
track is slightly ahead of the other track.
Bend up – Create a temporary increase
in the playback speed. Use bend up if the
two tracks are in time, but this track is slightly
behind the other track.
PITCH SLIDER
Use the pitch slider to make pitch
adjustments while using internal mode.
Drag the pitch slider with the mouse to
make large pitch movements, or hold
the shift key and drag the pitch slider
to make ne adjustments.
TEMPORARY CUE
There is a temporary cue point that can be used
like the Cue button on many DJ CD players.
Press ctrl-I to set this temporary cue point on
the left deck, and ctrl-K to set it on the right
deck. This temp cue point is shown in the main
waveform as a white marker. This cue point is
not saved with the track, and by default is set
to the beginning of the track. Press I to jump to
this temporary cue point on the left deck, and K
for the right deck. If you hold down the I or K
key while the track is stopped, it will play from
the temp cue point. As soon as you release the
key, it will jump back to the temp cue point. Note
that you can use this shortcut to jump to the
beginning of the track if the temporary cue point
has not been set. SEE “CUE POINTS” ON PAGE 20.
SPEED RANGE
These buttons allow
you to seed the base
playback speed – 1/2 (half speed), 33/45 or the
speed of a 45 RPM recording playing at 33 RPM,
1x or normal speed, 45/33 or the speed of a 33
RPM recording playing at 45 RPM, or 2x (double
speed).
MORE CONTROLS
You can also control playback using the
computer keyboard shortcuts — turn Caps Lock
on to enable. SEE “PLAYBACK KEYS USE SHIFT”
ON PAGE 31.

Ctrl-I set temporary cue point Ctrl-K
Click on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make ne
adjustments to your position within the track.
This may be useful if you wish to set cue points
in your tracks, and don’t have your turntables or
CD players connected.
NOTE: If you play a track in internal mode,
and then switch to absolute or relative mode,
the pitch adjustment will be dictated by the
turntable, so there will be a jump in pitch
unless they are already perfectly matched.
TIP: If you are in absolute or relative mode
and you get a build up of dust on the needle
that is breaking up the audio, hold down ctrl
and press the int button. This will take you to
internal mode and reset the pitch to zero.
