If you used to carry your sampler around to launch samples, airhorns, beats and other such elements while mixing you no longer have to depend on a separate piece of gear to accomplish this tasks. ScratchLIVE 1,9 and above offers 4 banks containing 6 samples each (24 Samples Total) that can be configured every which way and loaded with anything, a mix, a song, a sample, anything.
The new SHORT-KUTS™ for ScratchLIVE 2.0 features new stickers that clearly mark the sampler’s function keys and all new shortcuts available in ScratchLIVE 2.0.

If you are a Serato user looking to soak up some much needed shortcut knowledge (among other things) please, start by reading your shortcut guide that came with your hardware and don’t skimp on the MANUAL, then head over to Serato Tutor OR SeratoHQ and use your SHORT-KUTS while at the club/bedroom/etc. to put everything you learned into action!
In a short while we’ll have a series of Tutorials that you can view as well (see main menu), but as it stands, all you need to do is search and you will find tons of great resources.
