(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American
DJ® audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) Pro-
Scratch 2™ players. Connect your Pro-Scratch 2’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set
up is completed load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your
Pro-Scratch 2™ playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) Pro-Scratch 2™ players and a Fader “Q”
Start mixer, if your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause
mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will
return to cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin
to play and player two (2) will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature.
After storing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving
the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the Pro-Scratch 2™ player (see setting
cue points page 16). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects
withyourmusic. Note:Forproper“Q”Startoperationbesureyourmixers“Hamster”settingaresetto1/2(NormalSetting).
(b) BOP EFFECT: The Bop Effect button serves two features. First, it is a stutter effect, creating a sound similar to a
sampler. Second, it will return to the last Cue point in memory instantly. This will allow you to create great effects.
To create the BOP Effect, see BOP Effect on page 21.
(c) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For
FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) Pro-Scratch 2™ players. Connect your Pro-Scratch 2’s as described in
the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example,
if player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to
play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 33.
(d) MEMORY BACKUP: The Pro-Scratch 2™ has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the
power supply is accidentally disconnected. Pro-Scratch 2™ will remember your last setting (repeat, SGL, CTN, and
effect parameters) even if you disconnect your main power. The Pro-Scratch 2™ will store your cue points and
samples in memory if you accidentally eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 23.
(e) PROGRAMMABLE CUE POINTS: The Pro-Scratch 2™ has three Flash Start Buttons (8). 128 Cue points can be
stored in each of the FLASH START BUTTONS (6), for a total of 384. These cue points can be stored into the unit's
internal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 16

11. EDITING A LOOP:
Please note: Only the ending point of the loop may be edited. You may make your loop shorter or longer. Before
you can edit your seamless loop you obviously must first have created a seamless loop to edit. If you haven’t
created a SEAMLESS LOOP, follow the instructions in step 10 to create a loop. If a SEAMLESS LOOP has
already been created, press the RELOOP BUTTON (31) to activate your SEAMLESS LOOP (Figure 23) if it is
not already activated. To edit your seamless loop’s ending point:
1) Press the OUT BUTTON (32) to return to normal play from the loops cue point. (Figure 20). This will
disengage the SEAMLESS LOOP mode and allows you to edit the loops ending point.
2) Press the OUT BUTTON (32) again when you reach your new ending point (Figure 21).
- FOR A SHORTER LOOP: Press the OUT BUTTON (32) at sooner point in the track (Figure 21).
- FOR LONGER LOOP: Press the OUT BUTTON (32) at later point in the track (Figure 21).

12. Using the Built In Sampler:
Your Pro-Scratch 2™ comes with an advanced built in sampler. You may store up to three samples on the
three FLASH BUTTON (8) (Once again please note you may only store either a CUE POINT or a SAMPLE
into a FLASH BUTTON (8), not both). Your sample can be a maximum of 6.5 seconds in length. A sample can
be recalled while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a sample when
the CD has been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If you play your
sample when the unit is already in playback mode you sample will over lap the current music source. You can
also play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approximately 384 (128
x 3) samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory). The MEMORY BUCKET (55) on the LCD
DISPLAY (19) will approximate the remaining memory.
To create a sample:
1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 17). If your loop is longer than 6.5 seconds it
can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.

Changing the Sample Parameters:
Changing the sample parameters allows you to change the sample's volume and pitch. The param-
eters values for both the pitch and volume settings range from 00:00 to 20:00, 00:00 being the lowest
value. A higher value will increase the pitch percentage or volume. It's important to understand that the
pitch value is basically a speed adjustment and has nothing to do with tonal quality. The values can be
either a momentary change or set adjustment. The sample values are changed in three easy steps,
while in sample playback mode:

moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase. The PITCH
SLIDER adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, or
+/-100% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next
page). This pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when
the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (26) is turned on. The pitch adjustments will not
affect your samples.

Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (33): You may change the
PITCH SLIDER'S (33) operating range at any time. To change the operat-
ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 39. The pitch
percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, and +/- 100%.
4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 100% will allow
the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different values, press
and hold down the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (26) and Tap on the + PITCH
BEND BUTTON (28) until your desired value is reached. The LED above

2. PITCH BENDING:
Unlike the PITCH SLIDER (33) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks
speed during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (28 &
29) or with the JOG WHEEL (16). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend
function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (33) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER
(33) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum
of +/- 100%.
NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely.

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (28 & 29):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (28) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (29)
will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of
time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (28) is held down continuously as
in figure 43, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 100%
speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (28) the disc speed will automatially return to

BUILT-IN EFFECTS
The Pro-Scratch 2™ comes with nine built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you may
choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Scratch, Skid, Filter,
Phase, Flanger, Echo, Robot, Pan, and Trans. Up to four effects may run at the same time. It is important to
understand that only one effect per an effect bank can be turned on at one time, but all four effects banks can
be used at a time. For example the Flanger, Echo, and Robot are all stored in the same effects bank but only
one can be used at a time. When any of the effects are activated, the EFFECT (45) icon will display in the LCD
(19). You can choose to use the effects with their default setting or you may choose to customized each effect
by changing the parameters. The parameters values for all the effects will range. Some effects will have more
adjustable parameters than others. The parameters have two adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PV
(Parameter volume). All parameters will be reset to there default values when power is shut off!

activated the JOG WHEEL (16) may be used in the same fashion a turntable
platter is used. Use the JOG WHEEL (16) to simulate the scratch motion on a
turntable platter and to manipulate playback. Both the Skid and Scratch time
parameters can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest
Skid times. The SKID value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds.

FLIP -FLOP™
FLIP-FLOP™
This feature is kind of “auto pilot”. When you are using two Pro-Scratch 2™ players and an American Audio®
“Q” Deck™ mixer, you can have one player begin playback when the other ends. You can “Flip -Flop™” single
tracks, the entire disc, or a combination of the two.
To FLIP-FLOP™ single tracks:
1) Connect your system as described in the set up section on page 7.
2) Set your American Audio® “Q” Deck™ mixer’s crossfader to the center
position.
Single black cross line
3) Set your two Pro-Scratch 2™ to playback in single mode, SINGLE (46) should
be indicated in the LCD (19).
Single black cross line
4) Load your two Pro-Scratch 2™ with audio disc.
5) After they have both cued, press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) on one of
your drive to begin playback.
6) After the first player’s single track has ended the second player’s track will
immediately begin playback.
7) FLIP-FLOP™ will continue until you stop it or power is interrupted.
Mono Mini Plug
Figure 67
To Flip-Flop entire CDs:
Be sure your drives are both in continuous play mode, make sure SINGLE MODE (46) does not appear in the
LCD'S (19) of both players. Follow all directions for single track FLIP -FLOP™ above. When one player’s disc
ends the other player will immediately begin playback.
Note: You may combine FLIP -FLOP™ single and continuously playback modes by selecting either single or
continuous playback on your units.
Connecting your Pro-Scratch 2™ to an American Audio® or an American DJ® “Q” Deck™ mixer for “Flip Flop™”
control: Be sure to connect 1/8” mono mini plugs from the control connection on the rear your Pro-Scratch 2™ to
the 1/8” control jack on the rear of American Audio® “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP-FLOP.™
Sample "Q" Start Set-Up. This set-up will allow "Q" start functions and Flip-Flop™ function to operate.
Be sure to use 1/8" mono mini plugs only.
