SCRATCH LIVE
MODES
Scratch Live has three different modes of
operation. You can switch between these modes
by clicking the mode buttons near each Virtual
Deck.
RANE SIXTY-ONE FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE

ABSOLUTE MODE

ABS mode is the default mode, and most closely
resembles the properties of normal vinyl. The
beginning of the track is mapped to the start of
the record, and by picking up the tone arm and
moving the needle to another part of the record
(needle dropping) you can move to a different
position within the track.
ABS mode faithfully reproduces the movement
of vinyl control records, including stops, starts,
scratching, needle dropping, rubbing and other
turntablist techniques.
When you reach the end of the record
using either REL or ABS modes, Scratch Live
automatically switches to INT mode. This
is known as Emergency Internal mode, and
prevents long tracks from stopping when you run
out of record. You can switch from Emergency
Internal mode to ABS mode by lifting the needle
and placing it in the lead-in of the control record.
Emergency Internal mode will activate after 1
second. Use the keyboard shortcut F1 (left deck)
or F6 (right deck) to switch to ABS mode.
NOTE: Be careful when scratching near the
end of the record not to accidentally go past
this point and into internal mode, or the track
will no longer respond to record movement!
• OPERATOR'S MANUAL 2.4

RELATIVE MODE

REL mode observes the relative forward and
backward movement of the record, but does not
take into account the position within the record.
REL mode disables needle dropping, but allows
skip-free scratching.
SEE: "DROP TO ABSOLUTE POSITION" ON PAGE
38.
REL mode adds additional speed controls:
Previous track – Go to the previous track
in the list.
Rewind - The rewind function speeds up
the longer you press the button.
Fast forward – The fast forward function
speeds up the longer you hold the button.
Next track – Jump to the next track in
the list.
TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut F2 (left deck)
or F7 (right deck) to switch to REL mode.
