TTM 57SL QUICK START

Before installing, visit the Official Scratch LIVE Forum at scratchlive.net to be sure you have the latest software. Check this regularly for software updates and performance tips.

Installation

1) Install the Software Mac

1. Insert the Software Installation CD and double-click the installer icon.

Windows XP
1. Insert the Software Installation CD. If Setup doesn�t start automatically, browse to the CD drive and run setup.exe. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions. Once the installation is complete, Scratch Live appears in the Start Menu under All Programs > Serato > Scratch Live. Note: Select Custom Install to change the directory you wish to install Scratch LIVE into.

Tip: Be aware that Windows system event sounds (beeps, dings, etc.) will come through your TTM 57SL when it is your sound card. To prevent embarrassment, have no other applications running. Better yet, turn off your computer�s sound scheme: 1. Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices. 2. Click the Sounds tab. 3. Under Sound scheme, change to No Sounds. 4. Click OK.

TTM 57SL Connections
Turntable connection
1. Connect your turntables to any of the PGM 1 and PGM 2 inputs on the back of the TTM 57SL. Set any of the little switches down that has a turntable connected to it. Set all other switches up to LINE. When connected properly, circles will be displayed within the scope view of the setup screen while playing the control records (see Calibrating Scratch LIVE in the manual for more info). 2. Connect the turntable ground wires to the ground post of your mixer. 3. Connect the USB cable from the TTM 57SL to your Mac or PC. Windows XP drivers need to be installed when connecting the SL 1 to a USB port on a PC. On some Windows machines, each USB port is treated separately, requiring a separate driver install for each USB port.

2) Connect the Hardware Mac
Mac users need only connect the SL 1 interface after installing the software. No extra hardware installation is required.

Windows XP
There are two drivers to install. The first is the standard Windows driver that allows you to use your TTM 57SL as a sound card. The second driver allows you to use the TTM 57SL with Scratch LIVE. When the TTM 57SL is connected to the computer with the USB cable for the first time, Windows will recognize it with 'Found New Hardware' bubbles appearing in the taskbar. Wait for it to finish as it loads the default sound card driver. When you see the bubble "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use," proceed to install the Scratch LIVE driver.

Calibrating the Software

TTM 57SL as a sound card
The TTM 57SL will be available as a standard Windows sound card whenever Scratch LIVE is not running. It will replace the previous sound card and default to TTM57SL Line 2 (select D 2 on either of the PGM  INPUTS). If you wish to change to Line 1 or back to your previous sound card when not using the TTM 57SL: 1. Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices. 2. Click the Audio tab. 3. Make changes using the drop menus for both Sound Playback and Sound Recording. 4. Click OK.

When setting up Scratch LIVE in a new location, calibrate the software to the background noise picked up by the needles, cables and CD players. 1. When using turntables, place the needles on the records with the motors off and switch to the setup screen. When using CD players, pause the CD and switch to the setup screen. 2. Press and hold the estimate button for each side, letting go when the threshold setting is stable (usually about one second). In situations with lots of background noise, the threshold will need to be higher. 3. Start the motors, and adjust the L/R Balance and P/A Balance next to each calibration scope to adjust the shape of the inner ring. Use the scope zoom slider (1x to 16x) to zoom in or out as necessary. If you have trouble getting the rings circular, try cleaning or changing your needles. If the image appears as a line, then one channel of the turntable is not working. See examples of problems and fixes on pages Manual-24-25. 4. Check the percentage (%) in the bottom right corner of each calibration scope, indicating the percentage of readable signal � this number should be close to 100% when your system is calibrated properly.
