MIDI in Scratch LIVE 101 by Josh Lloyd, Serato
Overview
The MIDI input feature in Scratch LIVE is a great way to add flexibility and speed to your performances by mapping scratch live controls to MIDI controllers such as knobs, sliders, pads, and keys.
In this introduction, I'll take you through the basics of mapping MIDI controls in Scratch LIVE, by showing you how I map a Korg microKONTROL controller for use with my system.
Aims
What I want, is to be able to mostly cut out using the computer keyboard or mouse during my performances, and instead use the controls of the MicroKONTROL. Some of the different controls on the Korg seem to naturally lend themselves to the different controls in Scratch LIVE, and I'll go over how I mapped things on the next page.
Equipment
My current setup consists of a laptop, Rane TTM 56 mixer, two turntables, and the Korg microKONTROL:
