ADDITIONAL SETUP

This section covers general preferences and
adjustments you can make to improve the
performance of Scratch Live. From the top of the
main screen, click on SETUP to get to this area.

HARDWARE: GENERAL

USB BUFFER SIzE (LATENCy)

Scratch Live processes audio in small chunks.
When smaller chunks are used, the movement
of the record is translated into audio more often,
which results in a lower overall system latency.
However, this requires more processing and
therefore a higher CPU load, so lower buffer size
settings require a more powerful computer to
produce uninterrupted audio. If you want tighter
control, try decreasing this setting. On the other
hand, if you experience audio dropouts, you
need to increase this setting (or use a more
powerful computer).

UPDATING FIRMWARE

If a firmware update is available after installing a
new Scratch Live software release, an Update
Firmware button appears in the Hardware
screen. During the firmware upgrade the Sixty-
One will not be usable.

CONTROL SOURCE

Select the Input you wish to use as your control
source for both PGM 1 and PGM 2. Select 1 or 2
for PGM 1 and 3 or 4 for PGM 2.
Default control sources are Inputs 1 and 3. To
reset the Channel Filters and Control Sources of
the Sixty-One to default settings,

RECORDING BIT DEPTH

Choose to record in either 16-Bit (CD quality,
smaller file size) or 24-Bit (high quality, larger file
size).
SEE ""RECORDING" ON PAGE 34.

iNPUT SELECT STATUS

The input levels currently set by the switches on
the Sixty-One are displayed for each input. To
change the input level setting, use the switches
on the Sixty-One. Choose PH for Phono and CD
for Line level.
When Phono is selected,
Sensitivity setting is also displayed. Set the
Phono Sensitivity to the same level of your
cartridge (see your cartridge documentation for
the correct value). Another method is to match
the level of a CD on another input.
The default setting is 5mV.

CHANNEL FILTERS

Adjust the Resonance for the PGM 1 and PGM 2
Filters. Filter resonance controls how "peaky"
the filter cutoff frequency gain is. The Low
SEE "MIDI
setting provides the smoothest Filter without
adding gain. The High setting adds accent to
frequencies near the Filter cutoff point by adding
about 12 dB of gain. Adding gain in a narrow
region around the cutoff frequency adds a "zip"
effect as the Filter is swept.
