Assigning MIDI to Other Controls Controls which are not normally visible are available for assignment when in MIDI assign mode by clicking on the Show MIDI Panel button. This will open up a panel allowing MIDI assignment for controls including library navigation as well as additional Deck functions such as fine pitch control and extended cue and looping features. Ctrl-Click Functionality Some Scratch Live controls on the GUI have additional functionality assigned to ctrl-click. You can assign ctrl-click functionality to a MIDI control, alongside the normal functionality. For example, ctrlclick on the INT mode pitch slider returns pitch to zero. To assign this to MIDI control, enter MIDI assign mode, ctrl-click on the slider, and then assign one of the pads to it. When you press the pad, pitch goes to 0. Presets MIDI presets are accessible in the MIDI panel of the Setup screen. By default, the current MIDI assignments in Scratch Live are automatically remembered and loaded next time you start the program. The preset panel allows you to save and recall several different MIDI setups. This is useful if you are using several MIDI devices or want to quickly switch MIDI setups without having to reassign all your controls. MIDI Devices Any connected MIDI device will be listed within the MIDI Device List in the MIDI panel of the Setup screen. You are able to enable or disable any of these devices using the "Enable MIDI Device" checkbox. NOTE: Mapping other MIDI devices is explained in "MIDI Mapping" on page 46.

Organizing Your Music Scratch Live can support an unlimited number of tracks - the only limitation is the size of the hard drive of your computer. A number of features are included to help you to keep your music organized and find songs quickly and easily. Grouping Tracks into Crates Scratch Live supports several ways of organizing and sorting your file library. iTunes users will notice that Scratch Live can incorporate your existing iTunes library and playlists. Scratch Live uses digital "crates" for quick access to your favorite collections. There is no limit to the number of crates you can create, and any given track can be placed in multiple crates. For example, you could organize your files into the following crates, where any one track would be filed in more than one crate: • Hip Hop • UK Hip Hop • French Hip Hop • Inst Hip Hop • Old Hip Hop • Hip Hop LPs To make a new crate, click the Add New Crate button in the bottom left corner of the main screen (brown crate icon). To rename a crate, double click the crate name. You can change the order of tracks within a crate by sorting by the "#" column and dragging them up or down.
