Anyone come up with a good record scratch pad that can be scratched and cut with the time trip or d-beam?

Thanks!

I made tons of nice scratches with the TTP. You just have to make sure the sample has the right encoding ("ensemble" for phrases, "backing" for loops), then you may also assign the OSC pitch to TTP radius (in Matrix Control), and that's about it. I usually launch sampling, press a key, freeze the loop, then "trip" to find the portion I want to scratch, then scratch it back and forth several times. After a while I stop sampling, the edit window pops up with the recorded sample, and I can chop off the pieces I like. It's really cool!

Artemio, you are the guru!

Question: did the process you described create a sample of a scratch sound? Maybe I misread your instructions but that's what it sounds like, as opposed to a patch that can be manipulated with the TTP or D-beam to sound like a DJ cutting a record.

Thoughts?

Thanks again!

I described the procedure of creating scratched.

But the cutting can be done in two ways:

- Classic style: set TTP to assignable mode, then go to Matrix Control and set X or Y axis to master TVA LEVEL with depth of +63. When you push the bottom left corner the loop will be muted - use this to chop off the sound in realtime.

- V-Synth style: simply switch on the TTP in Time Trip mode, and push it to freeze the way in sync with the beat loop. E.g. push on offbeat and release on upbeat, or the reverse, then try hitting complex patterns like if TTP is a drum pad - you'll be amazed. I literally KILLED 100s of people like this when I performed on stage at Ukrainian Music Fair this year ;-)
