M4L Multi Scratcher 1.1

"MultiScratcher" is an audio effect type m4l device that simulates various DJ’s turntable techniques.

In addition to scratch processing, various functions are included such as slicing processing using a cross fader and reproducing the behavior that the rotation speed decreases when playback of the turntable is stopped.

Scratch Section

/Graph Editor

This editable graph expresses the scratch pattern with "horizontal axis: time" and "vertical axis: scratch movement".

/Scratch Range Dial

Specifies the maximum value for the vertical axis of the Graph Editor. The larger the number here, the scratch becomes more dynamic. The unit is millisecond.

/Beat Dial

Specify how many beats the scratch process will take.

/Preset Tab

You can select from 8 types of "a", "b"... "h". The information of the Graph Editor and Beat Dial is automatically saved.

/Auto Switch

When it is ON, each preset will perform scratch processing for the time specified by the Beat Dial, and continue switching randomly.

When it is OFF, scratch processing is performed at the timing when the preset is selected (clicked) on the Preset Tab.

/Quantize Menu

You can select from 7 of "Manual”, "4n (quarter note)”, "8n (8th note)", "16n (16th note)", "32n (32nd note)", "64n (64th note)", "8nt (8th note triplet) )”, "16nt (16th triplet)”.

The selected quantize will be applied when the Auto Switch is OFF.

Slice Section

/Preset Menu

You can select from 5 of "Manual", "Preset 1"... "Preset 4".

When you select one of the Preset modes, the slice switch information described below is automatically saved.

/Slice Fader

Displayed when Manual mode is selected. Not only can you operate the fader with the mouse and set automation, but you can also assign it to a MIDI controller and play it.

/Slice Switch

Displayed when any Preset mode is selected.

You can specify which note value should be sliced from 7 of "4n (quarter note)”, "8n (8th note)", "16n (16th note)", "32n (32nd note)", "8nt (8th triplet)", "16nt (16th triplet )”.

Tape Stop Section

/Tape Stop Button

When you press the button, the playback speed slows down and stops, just like when you stopped playing the turntable.

Press again to start playback.

/Duration Dial

You can set the number of seconds to stop playing when you press the tape stop button.

マルチスクラッチャーはDJが行うターンテーブルを用いた様々なテクニックをシミュレートしたオーディオエフェクトタイプのm4lデバイスです。

スクラッチ処理だけでなく、クロスフェーダーを用いたスライス処理やターンテーブルの再生を停止した際の回転速度が落ちていく挙動の再現など、さまざまな機能が盛り込まれています。

ちょっと手間のかかるテープストップやトリッキーなスクラッチを、自分の楽曲に簡単に取り入れることが可能です。（現在のバージョンだとマニュアルでのスクラッチができません）
