FILE button: Click on it to load a *.wav file. (Sxratch works better with files shorter than 10 seconds)
Record button: It records the input signal, useful for live use, pick snippets from your band mates and scratch over that. :)
USAGE:
Important: You should extract the files from the zip with the exact same directory structure or sxratch will not find the default sample.
On FL Studio:-Load Sxratch on an FX slot on the mixer, set MIDI in to port 1 (The scope and lower slider should be moving, if not try hitting CTRL+H, if it doesn0t work, you need to extract the files from the zip in the correct way)
-Load a MIDI out channel, set it to port 1
-Send audio to the FX where sxratch is loaded.
-Load a FILE or press the REC button to record something inside sxratch.
-Now play using your keyboard (the loop will sound) while moving the sxratch upmost slider.
On Cakewalk Sonar:-Load an audio track, load Sxratch VSTi there.
-Load a MIDI track, select MIDI out to control Sxratch.
-Load a FILE or say something while pressing the REC button within sxratch.
-Now, to play, press any key on your MIDI kb while moving the slider.
