    Default Anyone rockin' SSL 1.9.1 beta?

    I just saw there has been a PB of SSL 1.9.1 that offers some sweet features.
    Main cool feature are the instant doubles from deck to sample player and pitch /nudge controls on the sampler !!

    What's new in 1.9.1:

    SP-6 Sample Player:

    - The SP-6 functionality has been expanded. In the top right corner of the SP-6 there is a new button - the Sample Player Display Menu. Clicking on this will popup a menu with the list of available controls:

    * Mode - Choose Trigger / One-Shot / Hold / Repeat modes.
    * Pitch - Pitch Slider / Bend / Nudge / Keylock controls.
    * Play from - Choose which cue point / loop to use for the sample.
    * Overview - Displays the overview.
    * level - Individual Level and Gain controls.
    * level meter - Displays the level meter for the sample.

    This enables you to setup the SP-6 with the appropriate controls that suit your workflow.

    - You can also now instant double to and from the sample player by dragging and dropping from a deck onto a sample slot and vice versa.

    - You can now load tracks to the sample player with the keyboard shortcuts: ctrl + alt + z to n

    - The SP-6 master gain and output channel settings are now saved correctly between sessions.

    - The Sample Player now uses the autogain target as specified on the setup screen.


    Cue Points:

    - Triggering a cue point when a cue point is not set now sets the cue point.

    For example: If you have a track that does not have a cue point in slot 1, pressing 1 on the keyboard will set a cue point in slot 1. Once cue point 1 is set, pressing 1 will trigger that cue point. You can still set cue points normally using ctrl + 1 to 0.


    Vinyl Scroll:

    - Vinyl scroll can now be enabled and disabled using an option on the vinyl control tab on the setup screen.


    iTunes:

    - Made the iTunes library default to "expanded view" by default. The iTunes library icon has also been changed for better visibility of whether it's open or closed.

    - Tracks that are moved around on the hard drive by iTunes should now not get lost when using read iTunes library.

    - Fixed problem where changing tags in iTunes for a track that is in a Scratch Live crate would result in a duplicate entry being added to the library, and the original entry in the crate becoming a pink "missing file".


    TTM 57SL:

    - New TTM57 Firmware v3.20. This firmware update eliminates the 'dip' in the x-fader.

    - Fixed bug where you could not unassign hardware controls on the TTM 57SL

    - Fixed problem where TTM 57SL firmware updates might not start until you restart Scratch Live.


    SL 3:

    - There is now an option for recording bit-depth with the SL 3 on the hardware tab of the setup screen.

    - Fixed LiveFeed from not working with the SL 3 on windows.

    - Fixed the setup screen scopes from being too zoomed in when using CD Players with the SL 3.

    - The SP-6 now doesn't disable when set to thru. It instead switches from using the AUX output (if selected) to the MIX output.

    - Fixed input reverse on windows with the SL 3 where both the input *and* the output were being reversed.


    Native / MIDI Controllers:

    - The unused effect buttons on the Pioneer CDJ-400, Denon HC-4500 and HD-2500 controllers are now MIDI assignable.

    - The Denon DN-2500 Pitch/Key button will now toggle the slider range when held for more than 1 sec. An ordinary button press will toggle key lock.

    - Fixed Pioneer MEP-7000 bug where the right deck pitch control doesn't work correctly when the device is hot plugged.

    - Fixed a problem with the Denon DN-HC4500 Display not refreshing properly when going from CD mode into Native control mode.

    - The Scratch LIVE GUI now runs smoother when in MIDI assign mode.


    Video-SL:

    - Fixed Rane MP 4 not working on with Video-SL on Windows.

    - Fixed backward-compatibility issue with Video-SL 1.0.2.

    - If an mp4 file has an overview stored in the actual file Scratch Live will now read it in preference to an overview stored in the XML data.

    - Audio should now play in AVI files with MP3 audio in them on mac. If quicktime can play the file, Scratch Live should now also be able to play the file.


    Library:

    - Scroll bars in the library now have up/down and left/right buttons on them.

    - The mouse cursor now changes to a resize cursor when the mouse is over the column resize hotspot.

    - Fixed crash that could occur when viewing History on windows if your system time settings are set to 24 time hour format with no leading 0 (common in Central Europe).

    - Fixed bug where after rescanning ID3 tags, LiveFeed tracks would be marked as missing (pink).

    - Fixed cursor flicker when dragging a song library track around.

    - Improved library load times.

    - Improved performance when opening and closing the Browse panel.

    - Fixed bug where some Genre tags would revert to "other".

    - Improved the handling of corrupt history databases.

    - Fixed bug where when making multiple edits with the colour chooser and then not accepting the changes in the pop up window then selecting another track, the selection would revert to the first of the previous selection.

    - Fixed bug where if you recalculate a bpm for a track which already has an auto-bpm value, it would ignore the 'bpm range' menu setting for that track.


    Other Changes:

    - Made some optimizations to quicktime file decoding.

    - Temp recording files will now not be deleted until the next time you start recording. This means that if you quit Scratch Live before saving your recording, you can still retrieve the recording from the Recording temp folder in the Scratch Live folder.

    - The track key is now displayed next to the song title in the virtual deck area.

    - Improved the alignment between instant-doubled tracks to reduce the occurrence of the "flanging" sound between tracks in internal mode.

    - Fixed crash when control-clicking audio cache and maximum screen update sliders on the setup screen.

    - Added a label to the 'auto loop select' knob on the midi assign window.

    - Changed autoloop behaviour so that if you autoloop when the playhead is already outside of an already active loop, and new autoloop is made instead of changing the length of the existing loop.

    - Fixed bug where when using Windows with German keyboard settings the ctrl + shift + '/' control zoomed in the waveforms instead of toggling input reverse.

    - Fixed crash on startup if one the tracks loaded to the SP-6 has an associated video file.

    - Fixed bug where with autofill overviews selected, loading an unanalyzed track to deck then unloading the track before completion, and then reloading to the deck and letting it complete analysis, the BPM would not be saved correctly to the actual song file. This meant that the BPM would disappear after restarting Scratch Live and loading the track to a deck again.

    - Fixed inconsistency in behaviour of the Instant Double feature when using the TTM 57SL controls to trigger it.

    - Fixed the "set auto-bpm" option for track analysis, it was previously broken so that it was always on regardless of the setting.

    - Fixed the recording level meters from not working when recording Line 1 or 2 with the SL 1.

    - Fixed a problem with M4A files where corruption could occur by deleting tags.

    - Fixed bug where when a locked whitelabel track was loaded to the deck the warning did not appear in the deck info display.

    - Fixed bug where unlocking whitelabel tracks only worked by pressing the 'enter' key - not by clicking on the unlock button.

    - Fixed bug where previously when the tap tempo feature was used on a track with no bpm the loop buttons would stay grayed out until the loop was triggered by a keyboard shortcut.

    - Fixed bug where switching turntable control with 'input reverse' and 'drop to abs' or 'drop to cue' mode turned on in relative mode would cause a needle drop as the vinyl control switched decks.

    - Fixed bug where the selected track info wasn't showing on the deck info displays when using vinyl scroll.

    - Fixed dropouts from occurring when clearing loops.

    BTW .. I read somewhere that SL has a very good BPM detection algo. If I also got things right, I can install and use SL for free. They make their money with the hardware. Correct?

    ...hehe..not that easy

    You can download for free and run SL but it will only be in "player mode"..basically like a SL Itunes..Made for one to prepare sets before playing out and analyzing tunes. Once the hardware is connected, the SL shows the decks, etc.
    Updates are also free!

    yes, the bpm detection in SL is tight and the decks pitch is very accurate & precise.
