configurable to use them optimally. Calibrating
is just configuring the software to your situation.
Calibration is equally important for both vinyl
and CD users of Scratch Live.
There are two parts to the Scratch Live control
signal: The directional tone, and the noise map.
Listening to the control vinyl, the directional tone
is the 1 kHz tone. The noise map sounds like
random noise over the top of the tone.

speed and direction of the record, while the

Scratch Live can support an unlimited number of
tracks – the only limitation is the size of the hard
drive of your computer. A number of features
are included to help you to keep your music
organized and find songs quickly and easily.
Grouping Tracks into Crates
Scratch Live supports several ways of organizing
and sorting your file library. iTunes users will
notice that Scratch Live can incorporate your
existing iTunes library and playlists.
Scratch Live uses digital “crates” for quick
access to your favorite collections. There is no
limit to the number of crates you can create, and
any given track can be placed in multiple crates.
For example, you could organize your files into
the following crates, where any one track would
be filed in more than one crate:
of the first crate.
Smart Crates
Smart crates are crates which update their
contents by using keywords which are matched
with selected tags of your music library tracks.
Smart crates can be updated automatically or at
your discretion.
To create a smart crate, click the Add Smart
Crate button in the bottom left corner of the
main screen
(blue crate icon). A popup
window will open which allows you to add the
rules to fill your smart crate. Press Add Rule to
add a rule for the smart crate to match with. For
each rule you can choose a field to match on
from the drop down menu:
• Added (date)
• Album
• Hip Hop
• Artist
• UK Hip Hop
• French Hip Hop
• Inst Hip Hop
• BPM
• Comment
• Composer
• Old Hip Hop
• Filename
• Hip Hop LPs
• Genre
To make a new crate, click the Add New Crate
button in the bottom left corner of the main
screen
will make the crate you are dragging a sub crate
(brown crate icon). To rename a
crate, double click the crate name.
You can change the order of tracks within a
crate by sorting by the “#” column and dragging
them up or down.

Corrupt File
Descriptions and
Diagnoses
Corrupt file: This MP3 contains invalid
frames.
This MP3 contains frames which do not conform strictly to the official MP3 specification. Scratch Live
can not be certain that this file will play back 100% accurately.
Corrupt file: This file contains corrupt
frames that may result in audible glitches.
This file contains two or more contiguous corrupt frames. Since corrupt frames are replaced with
silence, this could result in what might sound like an audio glitch.
Corrupt file: This file structure is incorrect.
This file has caused the QuickTime metadata manager to fail.
Corrupt file: This file has been split. You
should check the beginning for audio
glitches.
The first MPEG audio frame in this file refers to audio that should be present before it but is not. This
is usually the result of incorrect MP3 editing. Since a corrupt frame is replaced with silence and most
songs start with silence, the resulting silence might not be noticeable. All the same, listen to the
beginning of the song, just to be sure.
Corrupt file: This MP3 contains frames
with corrupt data.
Decoding of an MPEG audio frame failed. This means that the frame contained invalid data. As usual
with corrupt frames, this frame will be played as silence.
Corrupt file: This MP3 lost syncronization
between the frame index and the frames.
Scratch Live is reading an old overview of an MP3 that has been edited in a thrid party editing
program. Rebuilding the overviews for the affected files usually corrects this error.
Corrupt file: This MP3 is completely invalid
and is not playable.
Self explanatory. Possible causes are disk bad sectors, file system corruption, wrong file types, wrong
file extensions, etc.
Corrupt file: This file contains invalid audio
data.
Scratch Live encountered invalid data while looking for audio in this file. This message alerts you to
the fact that the file you're trying to play contains corrupt data. This may, or may not, affect playback.
Corrupt file: This MP3 contains no valid
frames.
No audio could be found in this file, which means it is completely unplayable as far as Scratch Live is
concerned. Please make sure this really is an audio file.
Unsupported file: This MP3 contains multiple layers.
While scanning this file, Scratch Live found frames belonging to multiple MPEG layers. Scratch Live
does not support MP3s containing frames from multiple layers – some frames may output as silence.
Unsupported file: This file is more than
2 GB in size.
Self explanatory. At the moment, Scratch Live does not support files that are 2 GB in size (or larger).
Unsupported file: This file has data blocks
greater than 2 GB in size.
This file contains chunks of data that are larger than 2 GB. Scratch Live does not support files that are
more than 2 GB in size.
Corrupt file: This WAV contains no valid
chunks.
This WAV file contains no recognizable WAV data. It is quite possible that this might not be a WAV file.
Unsupported file: This file's data is not in
PCM format.
WAV files can contain data in several formats. Scratch Live only supports WAV files that contain data
in the PCM format.
Unsupported file: This file has a sampling
rate greater than 96 kHz.
Scratch Live does not support sampling rates greater than 96 kHz. If you see this message, the
simplest approach is to re-sample the audio at 96 kHz and re-save the file.
Unsupported file: This file uses more than
24 bits per sample.
Scratch Live supports a maximum of 24 bits per sample of audio data.
Corrupt file: This WAV is incomplete.
Scratch Live expected more data in the file, but found none. This could be because the file was
incorrectly truncated or because the data in the file is corrupt, causing Scratch Live to incorrectly
estimate the amount of data present in the file.
Corrupt file: This file contains corrupt
blocks.
This file contains blocks of data that report their size to be zero. This message was inserted to identify
files that might cause lockups on previous versions of Scratch Live.
Corrupt file: This song contains no audio
data.
Scratch Live could not find any audio in this file. Please check to make sure this file contains audio in
a format that Scratch Live supports.
Corrupt file: This song contains invalid
samples.
This file contains samples of audio that are too small to represent accurately and will therefore
be truncated to zero. This should not result in any audible audio artifacts, but could cause audio
dropouts on earlier versions of Scratch Live.

MIDI Note ON/OFF Chart
The note number for an LED indicator under a button is the same as for the button.
The color and brightness of an LED is determined by the velocity as follows:
• 0-30
0x00-0x1E
Off
• 31-47 0x1F-0x2F
Primary Dim
• 48-78 0x30-0x4E
Primary Full
• 79-95 0x4F-0x5F
Secondary Dim
• 96-127
0x60-0x7F
Secondary Full
There are two categories of note on/off MIDI controls:
RED: Dedicated mixer controls are read only and not affected by MIDI in commands. A user is not able to control mixer functions via MIDI and is unable to
change the color or intensity of an LED under one of these mixer controls. Users are able to use MIDI out for these controls to trigger or control software
functions.
GREEN: MIDI controls on the mixer dedicated to Scratch Live or 3rd-party DAW control. These controls are read/write and a user is able to control the
color and intensity of LEDs under these buttons.

Corporation does not, however, warrant its products against any and all defects: 1) arising out of materials or workmanship not provided or furnished by
Rane, or 2) resulting from abnormal use of the product or use in violation of instructions, or 3) in products repaired or serviced by other than authorized
Rane repair facilities, or 4) in products with removed or defaced serial numbers, or 5) in components or parts or products expressly warranted by another
manufacturer. Rane agrees, through the applicable authorized distributor, to repair or replace defects covered by this limited warranty with parts or

RANE SIXTY-TWO FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.4
Warranty Procedure - Valid in U.S.A. only
NOTICE! You must complete and return the warranty card or register your product online to extend
the Warranty from 2 years to 3 years!
TO VALIDATE YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY: Use the postcard that came in the box with your unit, or go to www.rane.com and click on New Product
Registration. Fill out the warranty completely, being sure to include the model and serial number of the unit since this is how warranties are tracked.
If your Rane product was purchased in the U.S.A., mail the completed card or register online with to Rane Corporation within 10 days from the date of
purchase. If you purchased the product outside the U.S.A. you must file your warranty registration with the Rane Distributor in that country. It is
advised that you keep your bill of sale as proof of purchase, should any difficulties arise concerning the registration of the warranty card. NOTICE: IT IS
NOT NECESSARY TO REGISTER IN ORDER TO RECEIVE RANE CORPORATION’S STANDARD TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION is made and tracked by MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS ONLY, not by the purchaser’s or owner’s name. Therefore any
warranty correspondence or inquires MUST include the model and serial number of the product in question. Be sure to fill in the model and serial number
in the space provided below and keep this in a safe place for future reference.
WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RANE SERVICE FACILITY LOCATED IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE UNIT
WAS PURCHASED, OR (if product was purchased in the U.S.) AT THE RANE FACTORY IN THE U.S.. If the product is being sent to Rane for repair, please
call the factory for a Return Authorization number. We recommend advance notice be given to the repair facility to avoid possible needless shipment in
case the problem can be solved over the phone. UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE PERFORMED ON ANY RANE PRODUCT WILL VOID ITS EXISTING FACTORY
WARRANTY.
FACTORY SERVICE: If you wish your Rane product to be serviced at the factory, it must be shipped FULLY INSURED, IN THE ORIGINAL PACKING OR
EQUIVALENT. This warranty will NOT cover repairs on products damaged through improper packaging. If possible, avoid sending products through the
mail. Be sure to include in the package:
1. Complete return street shipping address (P.O. Box numbers are NOT acceptable).
2. A detailed description of any problems experienced, including the make and model numbers of any other system equipment.
3. Remote power supply, if applicable.
Repaired products purchased in the U.S. will be returned prepaid freight via the same method they were sent to Rane. Products purchased in the U.S., but
sent to the factory from outside the U.S. MUST include return freight funds, and the sender is fully responsible for all customs procedures, duties, tariffs
and deposits.
In order to qualify for Rane’s one year extended warranty (for a total of 3 years parts and labor),
the warranty must be completely filled out and sent to us immediately. Valid in USA only.
We recommend you write your serial number here in your owners manual and on your sales receipt
for your records.
