[. . . ] 1xxxx SCRATCHLIVE TTM 57SL OPERATORS MANUAL 1. 8. 0 Important Safety Instructions 1. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] Scratch LIVE has two pitch sliders ­ a large slider for coarse pitch adjustment, and a small pitch slider for fine adjustments. Click above or below the handle on the large pitch slider to make small pitch adjustments, or hold the shift key and drag the pitch slider to move it slowly. Drag the center of the small pitch slider to make fine pitch adjustments, or click on either side of the small slider to pitch bend. 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 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 the beginning of the track if the temporary cue point has not been set. See Cue points on the next page. The buttons above the small pitch slider 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). You can also control playback using the computer keyboard ­ turn Caps Lock on to enable.

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: Use the keyboard shortcut F3 (left deck) or F8 (right deck) to switch to internal mode. 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 takes you to internal mode, and resets the pitch to zero. 24 properties are in the Control Panel. Tip: use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-comma (for left deck) and ctrl-dot (for right deck) to place cue points. The stripe grows a fifth by each rotation closer to the cue point The stripe is a solid color at the cue point You can set up to five visual cue points within each track. Click the arrow to the left of each cue point to jump to it (relative and internal mode only). You can also jump to cue points using keyboard shortcuts ­ 1 through 5 for the cue points on the left deck, and 6 through 0 for the right deck cue points. Notice that the stripe on the Virtual Deck jumps to the 12 o'clock position and changes color when you set a cue point ­ you are at the cue point when the stripe is one solid color and at the 12 o'clock position. [. . . ] This helps you to put them back in the same location. Magnetic Fader Maintenance There are no electrical contacts to clean!The faders in the TTM 57SL are designed with materials highly resistant to corrosion and most chemicals. While the faders will handle millions of operations, they may become dirty over time. In either case, the faders are not damaged and the sound quality is unaffected. [. . . ]
