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.

serato.com

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.

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.

Some way to quickly switch out a sample cell with a deck. I can see this having so many applications.

+1 long time want/need

+1

Always was surprise with the name "Scratchlive" this wasn't always there or at least implemented with the sample deck

+1 topic started in 2009, and still nothing :( Funny cause this was implemented in TORQ, and many people (who can scratch) loved it! So, is it so big thing to add it to Serato?

This idea is quite a bit older then that. I can't find the threads, but here is another possibility.
serato.com

@Akeim Great idea, that was so old that post and still nothing.

These requests aren't something crazy either and should've been there all along, all the mixing, MIDI and effect type features added over the years, but nothing simple for the tablist or skratch DJ¿

"but scratch is in the name of the product¿"

All I need is a skratchbar that looks just like the sample deck (button to toggle it is right beside the sample deck button) and the ability to skratch them regardless of what is on the decks at the time (maybe when you hit the hotkey it highlights it and turns the skratchbar sample on/off) and there is a toggle or small button for which deck uses the skratchbar.. When I hit the hotkeys (same as what the sample deck would use if that was on) it would disable the assigned decks track and play the skratchbar sample, hit the hotkey again and it resumes the deck right where it was before. Hope that makes sense

I think, sooner, Serato will implement SYNC than this very useful feature :D

yup, Im down for any solution. ANY way to quick load a file.

To me this is one of those ESSENTIAL type performance tools, the type shit we are using computers for in the first place.

Imagine having a bank on the sixty-two where each of the SP6 buttons loads (switches, instant doubles) each sample to your preferred scratch deck. You could keep two tracks in the mix and rapid fire different scratch sounds to your deck to cut up.

yeah ,we need something to happen

Real Talk

+1 for this idea

When I used Torq this was one of my most used features.
Just one click to jump into one of my twi Quickscratch files or back to a normal track.
Takes ages now since I use Scratch Live to search for a file and load it, or jump back to a normal track :(

Go Serato, go!

serato be busy with dev stuff nuff nuff tuff tuff..

+1200 on this tho.. if its possiboo

I have the solution for all of this. Serato should create a "bank". You load whatever effects or samples into the bank. Then assign hotkeys to the bank. Like F1 keys or:

Tab+1 = Bank slot #1

(1-5 is deck 1 / 6-0 is deck 2)

Then we could quick load scratch samples onto decks. Of course there should be an "undo" feature. Like:

Tab+Z = reload last track

Yeah, that's what the idea is

+1,000,000.

Don't know how Serato SCRATCH doesn't have this, a seemingly simple but powerful (and highly requested) feature, implemented by now.

Just give us a LOAD TO RIGHT DECK BUTTON in SP6 then we can assign a MIDI button. Boom.

I wonder if someone can make a macro for this and then use bomes to assign to a midi button.

+1 up, up, up

+1, wake up serato boys & girls :) pleaseee

anybody knows, if this function is implemented in traktor, or any other dj software? (already know about the TORQ...)

thanks in advance

"Just give us a LOAD TO RIGHT DECK BUTTON in SP6 then we can assign a MIDI button. Boom"

Is that really so big problem for you guys at Serato? Waiting 2 years for that...

+1

hell to the yeah for a quick scratch button,

to everyone else i renamed my scratch sample FFFFFFF so when i command f for a search i just press f a lot.

There are so many feature requests I see in this forum that Natrive instruments throws into traktor. I wonder if Native instruments pays more attention to these forums than Rane does? :p

I agree %100, they probably do

Why on earth hasn't this been implemented? This would be amazing.

"Serato, y u no quik scratch?"

+1 again

Bump

I also did get a suggestion from someone local who hates the fact that there still is no quick skratch buttons, they basically put some skratch samples in the SP-6 deck and drag them up to the deck. to make the samples quickly accessible.

yes - that's the only solution at the moment!

+1 to this, doesn't even seem that hard to implement... add 1 more "mode" on the sp-6 that makes it become scratchable when you trigger it

Welcome to the Serato forums Vekked!

I like this for a different reason.


The option I like best is another window like the prepare window where files stay permanently - and a button loads the top most file regaurdless

I feel the sample player is too much work unless it has a dedicated (load deck a or load deck b button). You would have to open player, drag scratch over. Go back to crate for next song and load next song then close player. (5 steps for me). Instead, I placed a crate just beneath the "All songs" and labeled it scratch. I threw a couple short scratch sounds in it to keep it simple and not overloaded with battle samples, etc.

Since we always know which song is next, I just load that song and then go to the scratch folder and load the sample, cut with it and then hit undo which brings back the song I was going to play next. (4 Steps for me). I guess this works for me but its because I keep the sample player hidden. I like to use the minimal waveform view to get the biggest browser as possible.

Hope this works for u, as it does for me but again, Torq was the only DVS to get the quick scratch button right and sadly Torq sucked lol.

Thanks Serato for a solid product! Hope we can get QS implemented right!

it'd be nice to double click a folder that has a set of samples and automatically loads to the right location and keeps your settings when you make a set of samples. Also, you can turn on a feature that loads the sample set to a song when a song is loaded. Wish the bridge can allow you to scratch. that would give you unlimited samples on a deck.

Go Serato, go!

the original link is gone...

but if im reading this right, we are asking for our battle samples to stay sort of in the "on deck circle" for quick loading at any given time?

this is DEF something i wanted as well.
I actually created a feature request as well years ago under different wording.
The solution i proposed was a "check box" option in the prepare box.
Permanent, or delete after lead

this way a track with "permanent" would not leave your prepare box until you unchecked it.
everything else in your prepare box would behave normally.
if this was too intense for the tags, you could also make it an option in the control panel
"permanent prepare box" or "Normal prepare box"
in this method, tracks dragged to the prepage box would only Delete if you CLICKED delete.
IE, after loading them, playing them, they remain in the prepare box
[this would also remedy the 62 issue when loading doubles using the knob, basically if u have a song highlighted in your prepare box. and you 2x click load for instant doubles, it first loads the highlighted track, THEN brings the double over, deleting the prepped file from the prepare box]

this is sort of how i operate now. i drag my battle videos to prepare, when im done i drag them back

especially with the new development of Mix Emergency's Quartz Scratch files, this would make zipping out of battle cuts sooooooo much faster (even though i know thats not the concern of serato)

So that is what is happening on the 62......

Prepare + SP-6 definitely needs some love.

I like Joshua Carls idea, +1

In Torq it was super easy.
They just put buttons (Quickscratch 1 & Quickscratch 2) next to the single sampleslots.
So you've been able to select two different Scratch files. I allways had long Scratch tracks with cuepoints in two of my sampleslots.
In each of the regular decks there have been two buttons (Q1 & Q2) to select one of your quickscratch files. Of course all buttons have been able to be midimapped.
One of the best things: When playing a regular song in a deck, you've been able to jump to your prefered scratchsounds with only one click/button. When pushing that button again the previously loaded song showed up in the deck again on the exact same playposition it was before loading the scratchfile.

So please Serato take a look at any old M-Audio Torq version and put those two little buttons in your software.

^+

^++

wish they had unlimited cue points so i can use my apc40 for a scratch samples compilation.

forget quick scratch buttons we need unlimited cue points. and make the cuepoints interface scrollable with mappable scroll buttons so we could see our labeled samples. Also, make the cue points section expand when looking for a sample. And make it mappable to the vestax vfx-1 in scratch live so we can turn a knob and find the sample.

erm, no dont forget the quick scratch button

bump *smh*

Once again, Scratch is in the name of the product that has been out for how many years?

+ 10 years later we finally have this feature in Serato. So dope! Thanks guys

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

Damn!
I think I originally wrote the first iteration of this in 2008!
Crazy we finally are getting it!

I remember when I first commented on this thread! Crazy that it finally happened!!

Eskei83.. please start working on ideas for 2030.

Wait for the ideas that will come out in 5 years 😂

but for real: big up serato for always listening and making things happen. not even sure if they still had this request in mind but it’s great to have this feature now!

next on my wishlist is to save the status of key lock on/off to tracks so on all my scratch tools key lock / pitch in time is turned off when I load it, but all my other tracks it’s turned on. that would be sicko

Been posting the YouTube link to Torq's Quickscratchbuttons in various threads here since I started using Torq in 2007 and thought Serato will never get there.

Now we have Scratch Banks, but can't use them without buying a 2000€ DJM-S11?

So the DJM-S20 let's us use our own AU/VST effects and fader effects like Torq 10 years ago?

It never gets old, Torq looked like shit, but untill today had the best features that all other DVS systems still don't offer yet.

I hope they add this function also for the S9...

Yes, yes, and yes again!
