New Features

TTM 57SL DJ-FX Control
If DJ-FX is enabled on the setup screen and you are not using Video-SL, Group 5 on the TTM 57SL will be set up to control DJ-FX. If you are a Video-SL user you can still assign DJ-FX controls to any of the control groups using the control assign menus.

The following DJ-FX controls are assignable from the TTM 57SL control assign menus:

Knobs:
- Beats
- Select Effect
- Super Knob 1
- Super Knob 2
- Super Knob 3
- Ultra Knob

Buttons / Joysticks / Knob Press:
- Beats Double

- Super Effect 2 On (Momentary)
- Super Effect 3 On

- Ultra Effect On (Momentary)
When you select a DJ-FX control from the popup menu, you are offered to select the left or right DJ-FX unit to control for that function.

VFX-1 support for Scratch Live
You can now use the Vestax VFX-1 to control DJ-FX in Scratch Live. Just plug in the hardware and the controller will automatically connect to the DJ-FX.
The top half of the VFX-1 controls the Left DJ-FX Unit and the bottom half controls the right DJ-FX Unit.

The controls are:
- Deck A/B buttons: Assign the DJ-FX unit to the left/right primary decks
- Beats knob: Selects the Effects BPM multiplier

In Ultra knob mode these controls work as follows:

In Super knob mode these controls work as follow:
- Depth knob: Controls the first DJ-FX slots Super knob
- On/Off button: Turns the first DJ-FX slots effect On/Off

The Latch control also switches the On/Off button from momentary to toggle.
All other controls are MIDI assignable.

Sixty-Eight Firmware version 1.2.1
A firmware update for the Rane Sixty-Eight is available on the setup screen. The firmware update fixes the following:

- Fixed intermittent bug in crossfader level on the Sixty-Eight.
- Fixed inconsistent button lighting bug on the Sixty-Eight.

Bug Fixes and Changes:

Windows Drivers
The Scratch Live 2.2 Windows installer includes new Windows drivers for the SL 1, TTM 57SL and MP 4. Please connect your Rane hardware to your computer while running the Scratch Live installer to update your drivers. You can also run the "Driver Updater" program from the Start menu after you have installed the new drivers to update them to the latest version.
The new drivers include a workaround for problems with i-series Windows computers where some SL 1, TTM 57SL and MP 4 users were experiencing constant audio dropouts or audio blackouts with those hardwares.
We would appreciate if you could provide feedback on the new drivers here: serato.com

..e parrebbe che sl3 si "apra al mondo" come scheda audio.
Sono infatti rilasciati con questa versione i driver core Audio e Asio.

[cioce]

Le uscite audio sono sempre state tutte disponibili e i driver esistevano anche prima, il limite di tutte le schede di Serato sono sempre stati gli ingressi non utilizzabili, vuoi dire che in questo senso ci sono news?

[alessiof]

pare di si

http://www.skratchworx.com/news3/comments.php?id=1576" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ho capito dove lo hai letto
Il Mac di Mr. Settle in effetti vede 6 in e 6 out ma continuo ad avere i miei dubbi sul fatto che quegli ingressi siano utilizzabili per i timecode di altri software...

Intanto è uscita le BETA 3 -> http://serato.com/forum/discussion/345598" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
e anche i driver ASIO per PC e Core Audio per MAC dedicati alla SL 3 ed al mixer Sixty-Eight http://serato.com/forum/discussion/351147#new" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Attendiamo un test di Cyber con la SL3 cosi avremo una risposta ai nostri dubbi

[filippom]

si però pur avendo migliaia di sollecitazioni ancora non supportano via HID i pioneer CDJ 350 ... mantenendo i cdj 400 che però non vengono più prodotti !

Interessante video di Serato 2.2 Beta

e se con la Beta 2.2 avete problemi di riconoscimento della SL3, basta aspettare qualche secondo dopo aver lanciato Serato.

Serato releases Scratch Live 2.2
January 12, 2011
Serato Audio Research are pleased to announce the release of Scratch Live 2.2 - a highly optimized version of the popular DJ software that provides rock solid performance and new ways to control DJ FX.
Scratch Live 2.2 now supports the VFX-1 as a native controller for Serato DJ-FX. Now DJs can plug their VFX-1 into their computer, and have it instantly control the Ultra/Super knobs inside Scratch Live.
There is also a brand new DJ-FX mapping on Group 5 of the Rane TTM 57SL, offering tighter integration between Scratch Live and the mixer. If you are a Video-SL user you can still assign DJ-FX controls to any of the control groups using the control assign menus.
Along with these new FX controls, we have made over 250 improvements with a focus on stability and performance.
This includes improved file support for Video-SL users, updated drivers for the SL 1, TTM 57SL and MP4, tighter integration with official third party controllers, improvements to library handling, optimization of The Bridge and Mixtape and many more.
