Live Scratcher is a Max for Live instrument for creating similar sounds to those a turntablist would make using a turntable and mixer.This is achieved by simply moving, or ideally automating, the position of a playhead across a sample. At the same time, any MIDI notes received on C3 or above will ‘cut’ the sound in as the playhead moves back and forth.
Using a combination of the two in a MIDI clip can create anything from a simple Baby Scratch to a complicated, polyrhythmic Transformer!
The key to getting it to sound as authentic as possible is to create subtle variations in the note length and timing, as well as variations in the playhead movement itself. No scratch DJ, even the likes of DJ Qbert or DJ Premier, who are renowned for being very technically precise, will ever move the turntable to exactly the same positions each time. Much like any musician, it’s the slight imperfections that give the performance a ‘human’ feel. Similarly, creating note patterns and turntable / playhead movements with slight variations will help give you a much more ‘natural’ sound.
