CONTENTS INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Serato Scratch Live 3rd Party
Controller Quick Start Guide.
This guide outlines the available 3rd party
controllers that are natively supported or “plug
and play”.
This means that when you plug them into your
computer along side your Scratch Live setup,
they will work automatically with no extra MIDI
mapping or configuration required.
* Note that with all 3rd party controllers, you
much have your Rane Scratch Live hardware
connected to use Scratch Live.
Always ensure that you are running the latest
version of Scratch Live, available here:

NOVATION DICER
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
1. Connect your Novation Dicer to an available
USB port.
2. The Novation Dicer will be detected
automatically and will be ready to use.
3. Start Scratch Live.
4. You will now be able to control Scratch Live
with your Novation Dicer.
DICER MODES
The Dicer has 5 modes - the first three modes
are Hot Cues, Loop Roll and Auto Loop functions
and cannot be overwritten.
The last two modes are User Modes and can
be mapped to other functions in Scratch Live.
NOTE: To use the Cue Point and Looping
functions you will need to set your virtual decks
to Relative or Internal Modes.
HOT CUES
When in Cue Mode, press any of the 5 dice
buttons to trigger stored cue points in Scratch
Live.
If there is no cue point stored, and the dice
button is not illuminated, pressing the button will
store a cue point.
To delete a cue point hold down Cue Mode
and press the dice button for the unwanted cue
point.
LOOP ROLL
Press the 5 dice buttons to select the length of
loop roll you want - hold down the button for the
duration of time you wish to loop roll.
AUTO LOOP
Press one of the 5 dice buttons to trigger the
auto-loop at the desired loop length. The loop
can be exited by pressing the same dice button
or pressing another auto-loop button to change
loop length.
NOTE: Auto Loop and Loop Roll Modes
require the track to have a correct BPM value. If
none of the dice buttons are illuminated in either
Loop Roll or Auto Loop Mode then you will need
to analyze the track in Scratch Live or manually
tap in a BPM value in the software.
USER MODES 1+2
To map functions to User Modes 1 or 2 simply
click on the MIDI button in Scratch Live, click
on the parameter you wish to map to the Dicer
then press and hold the User Mode 1 or 2 button
(Loop Roll or Auto Loop) and the desired dice
button. Click on MIDI again to exit the editing
mode.
To activate the function hold down the User
Mode button and press the appropriate dice
button .
NOTE: You can save the Dicer layers 4 and 5
as a MIDI preset in Scratch Live. (See the MIDI
section of the Scratch Live manual for saving
presets.)
