Hey dj manny of seattle,

Unfortunately your Pioneer ERGO-V is not a native controller for Scratch Live and you will not be able to use it on Scratch Live. You are able use the Pioneer ERGO-V as a MIDI device and map plug-ins such as DJ-FX or SP6 to it, however, you will not be able to map the virtual decks.

Cheers.

I have another question. After using the dj intro program for my pioneer ddj ergo, I dont like it . I'm so used to the layout of scratch live. features like the timer in the middle, or most importantly finding a track or artist by simply pushing an alphabet key is crucial to me. I dont care about fx or cue points. what midi controllers are compatible w/ scratch live? or is the new Serato dj very similar to scratch live? What would another option/s be?

Hey DJ Manny of Seattle,

Thanks for your post. Serato DJ Intro, as the name suggests, is specifically designed to do just that - introduce users to the art of DJing. Therefore, the DJ Intro software is a completely stripped back version of Scratch Live, ITCH and Serato DJ and is there to introduce users to what the other more advanced softwares have to offer.

If you are looking for a controller based software that is similar to Scratch Live I would suggest you look at using Serato DJ. Below is a link to the Serato DJ product page where you will be able to access more information:

*Please note that aside from the Numark NS6 and the Pioneer DDJ-SX controllers, you will need to purchase a Serato DJ License from our Online Store for $129USD


Cheers.
