Scratch Live Modes Absolute Mode Relative Mode Scratch Live has three different modes of operation. You can switch between these modes by clicking the mode buttons near each Virtual Deck. ABS mode is the default mode, and most closely resembles the properties of normal vinyl. The beginning of the track is mapped to the start of the record, and by picking up the tone arm and moving the needle to another part of the record (needle dropping) you can move to a different position within the track. ABS mode faithfully reproduces the movement of vinyl control records, including stops, starts, scratching, needle dropping, rubbing and other turntablist techniques. When you reach the end of the record using either REL or ABS modes, Scratch Live automatically switches to INT mode. This is known as Emergency Internal mode, and prevents long tracks from stopping when you run out of record. You can switch from Emergency Internal mode to ABS mode by lifting the needle and placing it in the lead-in of the control record. Emergency Internal mode will activate after 1 second. Use the keyboard shortcut F1 (left deck) or F6 (right deck) to switch to ABS mode. REL mode observes the relative forward and backward movement of the record, but does not take into account the position within the record. REL mode disables needle dropping, but allows skipfree scratching. See: "Drop To Absolute Position" on page 38. REL mode adds additional speed controls: Previous track - Go to the previous track in the list. Rewind - The rewind function speeds up the longer you press the button. Fast forward - The fast forward function speeds up the longer you hold the button. Next track - Jump to the next track in the list. NOTE: Be careful when scratching near the end of the record not to accidentally go past this point and into internal mode, or the track will no longer respond to record movement! TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut F2 (left deck) or F7 (right deck) to switch to REL mode. RANE SIXTY-ONE MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.5.0 21
