RANE TTM 57SL MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.4.4

Internal Mode

INT mode allows playing tracks without
external vinyl (or CD) control. INT mode
has a start / stop function and a virtual
pitch slider. Holding down the shift key
moves the pitch slider slowly. Holding the
ctrl key and clicking on the pitch slider
resets the pitch to zero.
Scratch Live automatically switches
to INT mode when the end of the control
record is reached; you can switch back
to REL mode by placing the needle in the
first five minutes of the control record.
If you switch from ABS or REL into INT
mode, Scratch Live automatically adjusts
pitch to maintain playback speed as
set by the turntable. Use the keyboard
shortcut F3 (left deck) or F8 (right deck) to
switch to INT mode.

INT mode adds these additional controls:

Play / pause reverse - Press to
play, press again to stop playback.
You can adjust the braking knob in the
setup screen to range from an immediate
stop to a slow turntable-style ‘power
down’.

See “Braking (Internal Mode)” on

page 35.

Play / pause forward - Press to
play, press again to stop playback.
Uses the same braking as described
above.

Bend down - Create a temporary
decrease in the playback speed.
Use bend down if the two tracks are in
time, but this track is slightly ahead of the
other track.

Bend up – Create a temporary
increase in the playback speed. Use
bend up if the two tracks are in time, but
this track is slightly behind the other track.

Pitch Slider - Use the pitch
slider to make pitch adjustments
while using INT mode. Drag the
pitch slider with the mouse to
make large pitch movements,
or hold the shift key and drag
the pitch slider to make fine
adjustments.
Clicking the

RANGE button

above the slider changes the
slider range to ±8%, ±10%, ±16%, ±50%
or ±100%.

Temporary Cue

There is a temporary cue point that can be
used like the Cue button on many DJ CD
players. Press ctrl-

I to set this temporary

cue point on the Left Deck, and ctrl-K to
set it on the Right Deck. This temp cue
point is shown in the main waveform as a
white marker. This cue point is not saved
with the track, and by default is set to the
beginning of the track. Press

I to jump to

this temporary cue point on the left deck,
and K for the right deck. If you hold down
the

I or K key while the track is stopped, it

will play from the temp cue point. As soon
as you release the key, it will jump back
to the temp cue point. Note that you can
use this shortcut to jump to the beginning
of the track if the temporary cue point has
not been set.

See “Cue Points” on page

21.

More Controls

You can also control playback using the
computer keyboard shortcuts — turn
Caps Lock on to enable.

Click on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make
fine adjustments to your position within
the track. This may be useful if you wish
to set cue points in your tracks, and
don’t have your turntables or CD players
connected.

NOTE: If you play a track in INT mode,
and then switch to ABS or REL mode,
the pitch adjustment will be dictated by
the turntable, so there will be a jump in
pitch unless they are already perfectly
matched.

TIP: If you are in ABS or REL mode and
you get a build up of dust on the needle
that is breaking up the audio, hold
down ctrl and press the INT button.
This will take you to Internal mode and
reset the pitch to zero.
