ScratchCraft documentation
ScratchCraft is a VST3 instrument and standalone app for designing, triggering and performing turntable scratches. Every scratch comes down to two signals: where the needle is on the record, and how open the fader is. The three modes are three ways of making those signals:
- Shape draws them on a tempo grid.
- Rack fires pre-drawn ones from 32 pads.
- Freestyle (the Mix tab) makes them live with the mouse or a controller.
