Here’s a trick that, whilst not super new, may have passed you by: instead of mapping a single loop roll button, you can map as many as you like to individual loop roll lengths by pressing ctrl+alt+click on the loop button in MIDI mode. Whilst that’s all good, it also means they can’t be hooked up to super or ultra knobs, and so if we want to use them to their full potential we need to get a little creative with MidiPipe or the equivalent. Scratch Live doesn’t count censor or loop roll as effects – this means that they can be used without taking up a slot in your DJ-FX rack. For extra controls, repeat from Step 4.Return to the MIDI software and move the message converter to the end of the pipe, adding another MIDI out after it.Now that the control has been switched, go back to Scratch Live and learn the next command. Add a message converter, change the CC of your control to something else (it’s a good idea to plan out what you’re doing to avoid a mess down the road) and put it after the first MIDI in in your MIDI software.‘Learn’ the first command in Scratch Live.Set up a MIDI out to go to ‘Scratch Live MIDI in’ in the software, and ensure that ‘pass through’ is enabled.Set up a MIDI in in your MIDI software.Secondly, it won’t learn the second in a string of MIDI commands even if you do put a delay in, so it’s necessary to build the MidiPipe template up with these steps: Firstly, it’s got no issue with commands coming in simultaneously and so we don’t have to worry about creating delays between our message splitting. In testing, I learned two things about how Scratch Live treats MIDI input. If we use our MIDI intermediary software we can create as many as we like. The super knobs and ultra knobs are obviously very powerful, but using Scratch Live’s native capability we’re limited to just one super knob per effect or one ultra knob per bank. If you set the controls to the opposite of the main dial – so that the advanced dial turns clockwise when the main dial turns anticlockwise – then the ring around the dial will be red instead of green. Now when you turn the main dial, the advanced dials will turn the amount you’ve set up. Now move the dial to where you want it to be when the main dial is fully clockwise (‘on’) and press the ‘+’ button.
