That's wrong. It will only work with ITCH, not with Scratch LIVE.

Click the FAQ tab, the first question is:

Can I use the NS7 with Serato Scratch Live?

Yes. You can configure NS7 to work with Scratch Live. You can also use your Scratch LIVE crates, loops, and cue points created in ITCH.

I think what they mean is that the SSL database is compatible with ITCH and the NS7. That does not mean you can use the SSL software with the NS7.

Sorry no dis-repect, since the FAQ said you can configure NS7 with Scratch Live "and also" use the Scratch LIVE, crates, loops, etc. I took configure NS7 with Scratch Live as the software and Scratch LIVE crates, loops, etc as the database. I thought you could assign the NS7 as a Midi device. Not natively but assign it like you would other midi devices. I guess that "and also" threw me off, very misleading. Humm?

That sounds do-able, but I doubt that you can use the platters and in general get full control via the NS7. Also you would need to have a ScratchLIVE hardware like the SL1, TTM57 or MP4.

You're right about the platter control.
Page 22 for TTM57 manual 1.8.2

A Note about Midi Platters
The Scratch LIVE virtual decks are not assignable to MIDI control. MIDI devices with platter on them all send different data so user mapping is not possible. To control the platter use a natively supported controller.

At least the other controls look possible, maybe in time the NS7 platters might be assignable as a native controller. Either way all 3 companies get paid, Rane for the TTM57, Numark for the NS7 and Serato twice for Scratch LIVE and ITCH. I see no problem why any one company would dis-approve of the NS7 being added to the list of natively controlled midi devices.

But even then.. the audio routing from SSL and ITCH is totally different.

I'll leave it to a mod to respond accurately.

good luck with that.

Now since the Video Plug-in is going Public, I wonder what is the chance of the NS7 being made native to Scratch LIVE as a MIDI control to allow for platter control. Or since the new VSL will not need the TTM57 is there a way to use ITCH and VSL with the control of the platters on the NS7.

Hello people! this is my first time doing some DJ (tho i dont consider my self DJ yet till i master it) stuff which is cool and fun. Love music and all. I just got the NS7 but really interested in getting scratch live instead of using ITCH. does anyone know when they'll have the ns7 compatiable with scatch live??
also what is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer...thats in IT department terms)??

Serato Scratch Live = SSL

hey can anyone help figure out how to record while i am mixing on the NS7 using ITCH?? need the help please. thanks

Rizzy download the manual and look on page 15 it's at the bottom right hand corner. The recording control are on screen above the right deck.

download the Itch manual that is

OK.. Im really not understanding why.. you cannot use the V7 with the serato ttm57sl Mixer.. I have a Ns7. and 2 V7 and the serato mixer... It makes no since that i have to go to VIRTUAL DJ to use all this when i paid money to use the rane mixer... These cats are getting Crazy Rich off us DJS and not really making it easy... I feel if VIRTUAL VINYL can make the ns7 or V7 work with there program.. why not have Serato make it available for the VJ iS a great controller and would be great for a dj to use the ttm57sl.. and 2 v7s... SOMEONE FIGURE THIS OUT.. and why is there not any updates for the ITCH PROGRAM. CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE.... DJLORDJAZZ.... I TRIED ALL THESE PROGRAMS AND CONTROLERS OUT...

i know its VERY belated but im probably about to spend a silly amount of money getting this working - in theory - if you load the control CDs into itch - and output to the SSL hardware- that would allow the NS7 to control scratch- but youd have to set it up in a way that wouldnt use the internal mixer (im guessing slam xfader to right and use that as SSL input two and put the monitor at full left and go from monitor output to SSL input 1.

it would be SUPER sweet if serato added an option to ITCH to ignore the mixer and put channel 1 thru booth and channel 2 thru master, allowing us gear heads a little more control.

I've heard from a friend that you CAN connect a pair of V7s to your SSL sound card like a regular pair of turntables or cdjs and run the timecode in Itch so that SSL can read it.

yes that is definitely possible i did it and it works there is also a couple of videos on you tube with some dj,s demonstrating this.

Can you please post a link demonstrating it?
