I saw a DJ using M-AUDIO TORQ and he showed me the QUICK SCRATCH BUTTONS...
I think all turntablism and scratch DJs are starving for this feature in scratch live ...
here's a video on www.torq-dj.com
what do you guys think?

cant say i need that feature,but what i liked about vid is that he has a rane mixer!!

I used that function quite a bit when I was a torqer

Good idea, i would like to work with this feature!!

yea, hope we get that!

yeah, I think it will be a really cool feature, and I would like to use in in Scratch Live...

It takes me always a lot of time to find the right scratch sounds in my scratch-sounds crate, so to push one button to come to the sound would be a great idea...

Also with the new sample-banks in the sample player such a solution would be a great thing...

So I'll set this one on my wishlist for x-mas ;)

me too +1

would be GREAT!! i would use Serato alot more

+1! Good idea.

+1

This would be fressshhhh!

the easiest way would be a short-cut like "load SP6-Channel 3 to right deck"
and you put the highlight-samples in your SP6 for Quick-Access.

oh yeah! I´m with you Eskei83!

I like that one.

this could be achieved when there is instant doubles to and from the sampler. You would have to always leave a couple scratch sounds in the sampler though.

This is exactly what I would do in torq. Out of the 16 sample slots 2 were the scratch sounds I used for quick scratch.

However, if we are going to take it this far... switching out tracks like that could be awesome too.

All we really need is a key combo and midi command for swapping a deck with a sample cell.

that's what i'm talkin 'bout!

bump

I agree with that - i make really sense !!

this would be a really helpful feature!!!

sounds like no one likes this idea

It is more a european thing :-P

?

many dudes hatin on that feature! but i think it's a nice thing!

so do like i did and tell your dj friends about this topic :D

/sarcasm

i just have my scratch samples saved as "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" or something with a lot of the same letters...i can load up a scratch sample pretty damn fast.

good idea too ... but with a short cut it would be faster!

the djs from oversea need a while to understand the djs form europe :)

I like that feature!

It's a pain having to jump to my scratch samples crate to load a scratch sequence, I also load my favourite scratch samples into a few of the SP6 sample banks and drag these onto the decks when I want to use them which saves some time, but you loose the currently loaded track which then have to relocate again.

+1

I do the same thing. If I don´t want to lose a track I drag it to the prepare button.
Quick scratch would be sick though.

what if the program allowed the current song to KEEP Playing on the same deck and let u load the sample and scratch over top of it.

that's why I am hoping for a quick swap with a sampler cell.

i think that's not possible because of channel routing. when you got a song on the right deck and load a scratch sound to the right. the song is still playing on the right channel and the scratch sound is on it too ... you'll get problems when you move the crossfader ...

that would be cool! that's excactly what i want!

QuickScratch-Buttons or QuickScratch-Midi Command would be a really nice feature!

sounds reasonable... should be a new feature!!!

dope idea. i like that suggestion

+1

Great idea!! True must-have!!

Being able to map the SP-6 samples to either deck would be an awesome feature

Serato, hook it up!!

i miss my quick scratches !!!!!

what do you guys think about the feature "drop to quickscratch"?

if you drop the needle in the 10th ring of the control vinyl scratch live automaticly load the quickscratch sample. Its like you have scratch sounds on the last minute ring of the CV.

^^^ very nice idea

they have that in some bootleg cv's don't they? either way it would be a dope addition.

i don't know bout bootlegs, but when you have the samples on the record you've to switch to thru.

no cv mode guys... its as easy as a button like torq. its the only feature that all dvs systems lack but torq.

both would be cool. i use drop to cue point and so i would use that feature as "drop to sample" too

bump this!

I think an easy way to add to this feature to SSL is to create a "LOAD L" or "LOAD R" button to each sample player spot.

So when you're on Sample player mode you can choose one and load it to a side. Hit it again and it would remove the sample, replacing it with the original file .

Not something I would use personally, but so many of you like the idea I guess I can chime in.

please replace the word "easy" with "sensible" ^^

dammit no edit button =op

yeah!

thats it !!!!!!

thats right eskei!Im down with that and also we need more! cue points i think !

+ Infiniti :)

+1

We still need this feature :-)

Yes please!!!!

+1

Yeah this would be cool. What if you could scratch a sample player slot? Or would you prefer to load to one of the main decks?

I would rather have the scratch sample loaded to the main decks. Just personal preference.

I think it would be cool to quick load a sp-6 sample to the main decks. scratching a sample player slot it can become confusing (control tone input, sample player output routing)

Quick swap....quick swap back. Deck to sample cell

quick scratch = nice feature

dont like how you only have 2 banks tho-

maybe 10 or so and it would be a super nice tool

Yes!!! Exactly!!!

yes please.

Sounds great +1

+1 - temporary load for scratch sample, returning back to orginal track with hotkeys or a midi assigned feature with the dicer

biggity BUmP!

bump +1

This could essentially by the same feature as instant doubling from a sample cell. Just add a new expandable area in the sp6 with midi-assignable swap to deck (1,2,3 or 4). Every user may want to use this differently but all the options would be available.

2 deck user will most likely prefer to scratch on one side, so with 6 free midi buttons a user could call up 6 samples on the fly. Since it's instant doubling, one could theoretically keep the playing deck audible while loading a sample to scratch mid mix.

what if you could tack a file on the front or end of the record, its always there with your drops or scratches

Hi AKIEM,

I had a similar idea back in the day:


It's basically the same ;) i know that this feature was on a list of the Serato dev's for new features, don't know if it still is...

I like that idea too.

Ive heard that SSL is running out of buttons.......

hehe ... ;)

yea, been hoping for this for years - this is one of the few things i miss about torq.

true!

nice videos eskei83 :)

thank you man!

so, i guess this wasn't something that was added to the latest 2.2.0 download, huh?

unfortunately not ;)

Eskei: You've been working with Serato on some other projects right? (With reference to the Skratchworx post on your Bridge demonstation). Any word if you've mentioned this idea to the dev team and if they've had a positive response at all?

i did some showcases for Rane at Musik Messe. So I'm not working for Serato, but i known that they liked this idea and it's on their list. but i don't know when this feature is coming or if they working on it. i think fixing the bugs of 2.2. is more important at the moment ...

eskei83. who makes these decisions. can u tell us that ?

That would save a lot of time!! I like to mix tracks for say about 30-50 seconds and sometimes I have no time to look after scratch sounds. A TTM57SL buttons should be assignable for this one too.

i talked to Sam about this feature at Namm 2010 and he said that he like it and it's on the list. but that was one year ago ... i talk to the guys at Musik Messe ... it would be very helpful that all DJs are pushin this topic like they did for the SP6-Sample Player ...

i think this is far more valuebale to me than the sp6.

1+

+1 really looking forward for it!!!
