ScratchLive 1.9 BETA Preset

[djlogike]

Luckily, I didn't sell my 3M and I assigned it to the effects with the inbuilt midi in 3M. It worked awesome, that too without the Darouter. If Stanton would have included the MIDI also to the 3D, it would have had less downtime and I would have retained it.

Moreover, I would be happy to buy the 3D again if Stanton would bring a new edition with built-in MIDI or provide it through firmware update. Would that happen?

my DaScratch crashes all the time if i use the 2.0 preset.. and i can't restart it without restarting serato, which is impossible during a gig. if i use the old preset, works just fine, but the old preset sucks balls.
plus the new preset has some issues that should have been dealt with a long time ago, but haven't, such as the loop buttons not working as they should and all that. i had at least 5 people buy them via my recommendation, but now i will suggest they find a different solution.
i am really disappointed with your lack of effort, seems the only thing one should buy from you is the uberstand as it requires no customer support service.

The loop button issues (no values for a couple of them) was fixed and reposted a long time ago. Have you updated the XML? If you're having crashing issues with SSL 1.92 and this preset, you should contact support and try and work out what is going wrong on your system.

There IS a way to restart the preset without needing to restart Serato. The RESTART button in DaRouter is there for this purpose, and does NOT cause any issues with SSL. If you have a problem with SSL when using the RESTART button, that would indicate something isn't set up right on your computer. Are you opening DaRouter BEFORE you open SSL?

Just to verify proper operation, I just re-downloaded the files out of this thread and tested them. I've had no crashes so far, but will keep testing.

While we're talking about existing bugs, I urge anyone who hasn't done so yet to re-download the files in the OP of this thread and give it another go. If you find any behavior that isn't correct, please detail the issue in a response post.

BE SURE TO DELETE THE OLD XML FILE BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE NEW ONE.

i am very impressed by the scratch feature ! At least your product name means something
Must say the that the B13 and B14 do not PITCH Bend Up and Down but do a FFW/FRW which is slightly different...

I tried to look at the XML file at /Users/Me/Music/ScratchLIVE/MIDI. Is this the file where I should be able to re-map these FFW/FRW-buttons to act as Pitch Bend Up and Pitch Bend Down?

Buttons are now programmed to be "Rewind A" and "Fast Forward A" / "Rewind B" and "Fast Forward B". I think that these values could be changed, but what are the right values for them to act as real pitch bends?

I tried something like "Pitch Bend Down A", "Bend Down A", "PtchBnd Dn A" but no luck....

Any ideas on this, guyz?

BTW any useful information on how to edit the *.xml file to change the settings for Right Deck to be assigned to Aux Deck (3rd deck of SL3) is highly appreciated.

I downloaded Serato Scratch Live 2.00 today and I installed it on my MB Pro. I found out that SL 2.00 gives the user an opportunity to assign the midi channels directly to SL by clicking "MIDI"-button on the top of the page. I got the pitch bends working with my 2 SCS.3D controllers. This is how I did it :

(Warning : this is very much like so called "glue with bubblegum"-solution and is based on the fact that Serato's own midi assignments seems to override the DaRouter's assignments when you are operating them at the same time. This might cause some conflicts between those two during the operation. If you try this, you do it at your own risk!)

1. Back up all your files (especially your XMLs!!!)
2. Connect your equipment (SL interface and SCS.3D-controllers)
3. Open DaRouter
4. Open SL 2.00
5. Place both controllers into Vinyl 2 - mode by clicking "Vinyl"-button twice. Buttons should be pink now.
6. Click MIDI-button on the top of the main page of the SL.
7. Click on the pitch bend down-button (minus button) below the left pitch slider on the screen. Now it asks you to click the corresponding button on the controller. Press the button on the left controller that used to be the Fast Rewind. You will see on the screen that the software has now mapped the button.
8. Click on the pitch bend up-button (plus button) below the left pitch slider on the screen. Now it asks you to click the corresponding button on the controller. Press the button on the left controller that used to be the Fast Forward. You will see on the screen that the software has now mapped the button too.
9. Repeat steps 7-8 for the right hand deck and the right hand controller.
10. Click MIDI button one more time to get out of the midi assignment mode.
11. Start playing!

Now the buttons should act as pitch bends by overriding the DaRouters FFW/FRW-commands.

If something goes wrong you can always restore your original midi-configuration from your backup XML (that you created in the step 1) by loading it from the SL setup.

And please remember that this only a temporary first aid to the problem that has been annoying us. I'm still waiting for a permanent solution by Stanton / Serato.

Hmm... It will not be possible to change the Right Deck settings to Aux Deck (SL3 3rd deck) using MIDI assign buttons on SSL (especially track grabbing, releasing and moving using the dial - Vinyl2)... But I hope it is possible by directly editing the *.xml... I am interested in knowing how that can be done?

Can anyone let us know when we can expect a ScratchLive 2.0 release?
Currently, Im not able to use vinyl mode 2 to scratch (scrub) because when I try this causes a pause of the wave form.
Thank you guys.

Please don't say it will only be released after SSL 2.1 , many here don't have a need for 2.1 anyway

[caliguy323]

When I installed ScratchLive 2.0 I lost the scratching ability. As soon as I used scs.3 to scratch, the music would just pause. I originally had this going well on 1.9.2 then 2.0 beta without problems except I made assignment adjustments to the presets so i could better take advantage of pitch control while in vinyl2 mode. But when I installed SL 2.0 release version, I lost the scratching ability.

I tried to uninstall 2.0 and reinstall 2.0 beta, but it still wouldnt work. Finaly I used system restore from windows 7 to restore my computer to a time prior to when I installed 2.0 release (returned to 2.0 beta) and scratching worked. Then today I reinstalled SL 2.0 release (non-beta) without making any midi assignment modifications to the scs.3 sl preset, and the scratching on the scs.3 in vinyl2 mode works just fine.

I dont know what happened before, but works fine now.
