RANE TTM 57SL MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.4.4 38
The
Hardware
Control
Panel
On the left side of the screen, click the
Hardware button to show the hardware
control panel.
You can control many of the features of
Scratch Live directly from your TTM 57SL.
The hardware panel shows you what
functions in the software are connected to
the mixer’s physical controls, and allows
you to customize the control assignments.
It also provides an interface for the effects
running in the mixer.
TTM 57SL Control of Scratch
Live
Each of the controls on the mixer controls
a software function in Scratch Live.
Each parameter knob (labelled
P1 and
P2 on the mixer) has two states. The LED
next to
P1 and P2 on the mixer indicates
the state: the control above applies when
the LED is off, the control below applies
when the LED is on. Some controls, such
as “tap tempo”, and “load track” are
momentary.
The joysticks
J1 and J2 also have two
states. When the LED next to J1 or J2
is on, the joystick controls Scratch Live
software. When the LED is not lit, the
joystick acts as a transform switch. To
switch between using the joystick as a
control for Scratch Live and a transform
switch, press the joystick straight down
and hold it down.
NOTE: the joystick is also a button,
press it straight down, as if you were
trying to push it into the mixer — you
will feel it click.
When you are in transform mode, the
LED next to the joystick is not lit, and its
controls on the Scratch Live hardware
panel are grayed out.
Groups
Functions are organized in a series of
groups. Each group contains a bank of
software controls. The first two groups are
custom groups, designed to contain the
commands you need most often during
a set. The next four groups contain other
functions ordered by category.
To access a group, press the GROUP
button on the mixer, then press:
B1 – General: Custom group 1, with the
most common commands.
B2 – Library: Custom group 2 — move
through library, make new recordings.
B3 – Playback: Control all playback
functions directly from the mixer.
B4 – Cue/Loop: Full control over all
cue points on both Virtual Decks and
looping.
B5 – Recording: Select source and start /
stop / save / play recordings.
B6 – Effects: Select and insert effects.
Adjust effect parameters.
Customize Control Assignments
You can customize almost all of the
software control assignments. To change
what a button, parameter knob or joystick
does to Scratch Live, right-click (PC)
or control-click (Mac) on the control
label while in Groups 1 through 5. A list
appears, and you can choose the new
function you wish to have associated with
that control.
Some software functions can be
assigned to either the left or the right
Virtual Deck. If you choose a function
that can be assigned to a Deck, after you
select the function from the menu, you will
be presented with another list. Choose
selected Deck to have the function
controlled by the DECK button on the
mixer, or Left Deck or Right Deck to have
it always apply to one of the Decks.
Any customization resides in the
computer, not in the mixer. This means
that if two different DJs, each with their
own laptop, use the same mixer, each DJ
can have their own custom groups.

is enabled, then Serato Video controls
overwrite the DJ-FX controls. If neither
of them are enabled, then Group 5
corresponds to the recording panel.
