Can i scratch with cdj-500s?

Hello friends:
I have two Pioneer cdj-500s.
Theses cd hasn't vinil mode...Only Digital ( I can't Scratch )
My question is...Has SSL some kind of emulation to can scratch with cd's witout vinil mode?
If it is not possible could be a good feature :)

Hi Rubidj,

Unfortunately, scratching is not possible with CD players that lack vinyl emulation/vinyl mode and I have my doubts that a future SSL release will enable those type of CD players to do so.

You can definitely use them, you just can't make them scratch. If the CD player doesn't have a scratching feature, then scratch live will not be able to convert the weird digital skipping into smooth movements.
