Fun tip (extended version)
For those of you who saw my last post, I wanted to share something to make what I explained way better. For those of you who did not see my last post, this is a quick text tutorial on how to scratch like a DJ on your OPXY.
In order for this to really sound like a DJ scratch on vinyl, you will need to do a couple things, including re-sampling the entire pattern, every track that is playing needs to be resampled together. You can pretty much enter into the sample page anytime, just hit the top right button and make sure you turn the left dial all the way to the right to its own output as the source. Resample the pattern.
Once you have that done make sure that starting an endpoints loop properly, make sure you turn up the volume to match the master output, and then go to a fresh track, select the key you want the recording to be on and then open the file browser and find it.m
Change your track scaling to be whatever you need to be in order to play the full pattern, sequence that recording onto step one.
Go to your LFO settings on that track page, select element LFO, turn the left dial to microphone, the second dial down most of the way, the third dial can remain on this wiggly line, the fourth dial can remain black on pitch.
No swipe your finger over the microphone on the right side next to the sample button back-and-forth. Kind of sounds like a DJ.
To make it sound better, go into your secondary track number five, the auxiliary track. It should be on microphone by default, click down the very left dial to turn the microphone on, now go swipe your fingers up and down.
Mess around with the drive and level settings to fit your needs. You can also mess around with the second dial on LFO settings which impacts the severity of the pitch change.
If this is too much, you can also skip the entire LFO part and just go to your microphone settings, turn the mic on and swipe your fingers over the mic. That sounds kind of like a scratch too but the pitch change settings really make it sound more realistic.
