Built-In Effects; Scratch/Skid - American Audio Pro-Scratch 2 User Manual

BUILT-IN EFFECTS

The Pro-Scratch 2™ comes with nine built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you may
choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Scratch, Skid, Filter,
Phase, Flanger, Echo, Robot, Pan, and Trans. Up to four effects may run at the same time. It is important to
understand that only one effect per an effect bank can be turned on at one time, but all four effects banks can
be used at a time. For example the Flanger, Echo, and Robot are all stored in the same effects bank but only
one can be used at a time. When any of the effects are activated, the EFFECT (45) icon will display in the LCD
(19). You can choose to use the effects with their default setting or you may choose to customized each effect
by changing the parameters. The parameters values for all the effects will range. Some effects will have more
adjustable parameters than others. The parameters have two adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PV
(Parameter volume). All parameters will be reset to there default values when power is shut off!
FX SELECT: The FX SELECT BUTTON (22) allows you to toggle back and forth
between the two effects banks. When the FX SELECT BUTTON (22) LED is glow-
ing green you have access to the top bank of effects which include; scratch, filter,
echo, robot, and trans. When the FX SELECT BUTTON (22) LED is glowing red
you have access to the bottom bank of effects which include; skid, phase, flanger,
and pan. To toggle to the next bank of effects press the FX SELECT BUTTON

SCRATCH/SKID EFFECT:
scratching. The Skid effect simulates the sudden platter stop of a turntable, like
pressing the stop button on a turntable. When the Scratch Effect is activated the
SCRATCH/SKID BUTTON (6) will glow red. Once the Scratch Effect has been
activated the JOG WHEEL (16) may be used in the same fashion a turntable
platter is used. Use the JOG WHEEL (16) to simulate the scratch motion on a
turntable platter and to manipulate playback. Both the Skid and Scratch time
parameters can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest
Skid times. The SKID value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds.
