3. Move the Parameter Knob to the position that you want the to be the lowest value of the parameter. 4. Press the Macro Min button to set the minimum position. 5. Move the Ultra or Super Knob to the position that you want the parameter to end being controlled from. 6. Move the Parameter Knob to the position that you want the to be the highest value of the parameter. 7. Press the Macro Max button to set the maximum. 8. Link the parameter to the Ultra or Super Knob by pressing the Link button. Now when you adjust the Ultra or Super Knob you will see the parameter knob move within the range that you just specified. Any parameters not customized but linked to the Super or Ultra Knob will behave as normal. You can save any macro mappings you have made to an effect by clicking the Save button by the Super Knob, and save effects combinations made in Ultra Knob Mode by clicking the Save button by the Ultra Knob. MIDI Control The MIDI Control feature in Scratch Live provides the ability to map MIDI controls to Scratch Live controls, and thus control the functions of Scratch Live using MIDI controllers such as keyboards, triggers, sliders, and knobs. Integrating MIDI controllers into your Scratch Live setup can improve live performance usability, such as hitting pads on a MIDI controller to trigger loops and cue points. MIDI Controller Setup The process of setting up a MIDI controller for use with Scratch Live will vary depending on the hardware in question. Many devices can connect to a computer using MIDI over USB, and will either be supported directly by your operating system, or require installation of drivers and configuration utility software. Follow the manufacturers instructions for installation. Other controllers may solely use a MIDI out connector to send control messages, and will require a separate MIDI interface unit to communicate to software. Generally the MIDI interface will come with drivers and configuration tools which pass your controller's output onto an available MIDI channel, which can be used by Scratch Live. Once your controller is installed and functioning correctly, use these directions for assigning controls. Assigning Controls To enable MIDI assign mode, click the MIDI button. Hovering the mouse pointer over a control will bring up the MIDI assignment box, showing the current assignment status. To assign a MIDI control, click on the control in Scratch Live, then move the MIDI control. The MIDI assignment box should update to show it has mapped the controls to one-another. To un-assign a MIDI control, click on the control in Scratch Live, and press return on your computer keyboard. While in MIDI assign mode, controls which have MIDI inputs assigned show a green box indicator around them. NOTE: Once in MIDI assign mode, Scratch Live controls will no longer respond directly to the mouse. If you need to change a control using the mouse, disable MIDI assign mode. MIDI Platters The Scratch Live Virtual Decks are not user assignable to MIDI control. MIDI devices with platters on them all send different data so user mapping is not possible. To control the platter use a natively supported controller. MIDI Output Lighting Any mappable software feature with an ON / OFF state (rather than momentary or toggle) has a lighting option. The light on the MIDI controller will stay ON when the function is ON rather just lighting up when it is touched on the MIDI controller. You can disable it by pressing "L" whilst mapping. There is an "Enable MIDI Output Lighting" checkbox for global default in the MIDI Presets panel of the Setup screen. 28 RANE SIXTY-ONE MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.5.0

MIDI Control
The MIDI Control feature in Scratch Live
provides the ability to map MIDI controls
to Scratch Live controls, and thus control
the functions of Scratch Live using MIDI
controllers such as keyboards, triggers,
sliders, and knobs. Integrating MIDI
controllers into your Scratch Live setup
can improve live performance usability,
such as hitting pads on a MIDI controller
to trigger loops and cue points.
MIDI Controller Setup
The process of setting up a MIDI
controller for use with Scratch Live
will vary depending on the hardware in
question. Many devices can connect to
a computer using MIDI over USB, and
will either be supported directly by your
operating system, or require installation of
drivers and configuration utility software.
Follow the manufacturers instructions for
installation.
Other controllers may solely use a MIDI
out connector to send control messages,
and will require a separate MIDI interface
unit to communicate to software.
Generally the MIDI interface will come with
drivers and configuration tools which pass
your controller’s output onto an available
MIDI channel, which can be used by
Scratch Live.
Once your controller is installed and
functioning correctly, use these directions
for assigning controls.
Assigning Controls
To enable MIDI assign mode,
click the MIDI button. Hovering
the mouse pointer over a control will bring
up the MIDI assignment box, showing the
current assignment status.
To assign a MIDI control, click on the
control in Scratch Live, then move the
MIDI control. The MIDI assignment box
should update to show it has mapped the
controls to one-another.
To un-assign a MIDI control, click on the
control in Scratch Live, and press return
on your computer keyboard.
While in MIDI assign mode, controls
which have MIDI inputs assigned show a
green box indicator around them.
NOTE: Once in MIDI assign mode,
Scratch Live controls will no longer
respond directly to the mouse. If you
need to change a control using the
mouse, disable MIDI assign mode.
MIDI Platters
The Scratch Live Virtual Decks are not
user assignable to MIDI control. MIDI
devices with platters on them all send
different data so user mapping is not
possible. To control the platter use a
natively supported controller.
MIDI Output Lighting
Any mappable
software
feature with
an ON /
OFF state
(rather than
momentary
or toggle)
has a lighting
option. The light on the MIDI controller will
stay ON when the function is ON rather
just lighting up when it is touched on
the MIDI controller. You can disable it by
pressing “L” whilst mapping. There is an
“Enable MIDI Output Lighting” checkbox
for global default in the MIDI Presets panel
of the Setup screen.
3. Move the Parameter Knob to the
position that you want the to be
the lowest value of the parameter.
4. Press the Macro Min button to set
the minimum position.
5. Move the Ultra or Super Knob to
the position that you want the
parameter to end being
controlled from.
6. Move the Parameter Knob to the
position that you want the to be
the highest value of the parameter.
7. Press the Macro Max button to set
the maximum.
8. Link the parameter to the Ultra or
Super Knob by pressing the Link
button.
Now when you adjust the Ultra or Super
Knob you will see the parameter knob
move within the range that you just
specified. Any parameters not customized
but linked to the Super or Ultra Knob will
behave as normal.
You can save any macro
mappings you have made to
an effect by clicking the Save button
by the Super Knob, and save effects
combinations made in Ultra Knob Mode
by clicking the Save button by the Ultra
Knob.
