Scratch Live 1.7.2

Version 1.7.2 of Scratch Live includes support for Windows Vista, a TTM 57SL firmware update which includes a new Hold Echo effect plus more, and improved Auto BPM and Auto Gain algorithms. There's also a long list of bug fixes and minor tweaks to make your Scratch Live experience more enjoyable.

Please note: While we are confident that upgrading to Scratch Live 1.7.2 is safe, it's always better to be safe than sorry - we recommend that you safeguard your audio files, Scratch Live crates and configuration files by making sure you have a recent backup, prior to installing or upgrading.

- To back up your crates and configuration files follow the instructions at the bottom of this post.

- You should always keep an up to date backup of your audio files regardless of what release you're using, as these can easily be lost or corrupted by a hard drive or system failure even if you are not using Scratch Live.

This version of Scratch Live includes support for the Microsoft Vista operating system. Note that we recommend Windows XP over Vista, most notably for performance reasons. You will be able to run XP at a lower USB buffer setting, meaning lower latency and better performance using XP than is achievable with Vista.

Vista Support:
The Windows installer includes new Vista drivers for the SL 1, TTM 57SL and the MP 4.

If you have already previously attempted to run Scratch Live on Vista already using the old XP drivers, connect your hardware before running the installer and the driver update process will take place automatically during installation.

TTM 57SL and MP 4 First Time install:
- Before installing Scratch Live, plug your hardware into your PC.
- A 'Device Software Installation' pop up will appear, allow this process to complete.
- Run the 1.7.2 installer (setup.exe), the necessary drivers will be automatically loaded during the installation. During the installation you will be asked whether to install software for each connected device, choose 'Install this software anyway..'.

SL 1 First Time install:
- Before installing Scratch Live, plug your hardware into your PC.
- A Found New Hardware wizard will pop up.
- Cancel the New Hardware Wizard. A message will appear telling you that your 'Unknown device' may not work properly, this can safely be ignored.
- Run the 1.7.2 installer (setup.exe), the necessary drivers will be automatically loaded during the installation. During the installation you will be asked whether to install software for your device, choose 'Install this software anyway..'.

Installing the new drivers for Vista if you already have the XP drivers installed:
- Make sure your hardware is plugged in.
- Run the 1.7.2 installer.
- During the installation a window will pop up briefly to indicate that your drivers have been updated.

Driver Update tool:
If you don't have access to your Scratch Live hardware during installation, you can update or install your drivers later using the Driver Update tool. This is installed along with 1.7.2, by default it will be located at C:Program FilesSeratodriver_updater.exe. The process is simple, and works on both Windows Vista and XP to ensure that the correct drivers are being used:
- Plug in your Scratch Live hardware - if you have enough free USB ports you can update/install drivers for all of your Scratch Live hardware at once by plugging one of each type of interface (SL 1, TTM 57SL, MP 4) in at once.
- Follow the process described above for each interface you have plugged in, but [u]don't run the installer[/u].
- Run the driver_updater.exe utility, if you are asked whether to install one of the drivers, choose 'Continue anyway..' and the utility will confirm that the driver has been updated.

TTM 57SL and SL 1 ASIO drivers for Windows XP:
ASIO drivers for Windows XP are included as part of the Scratch Live 1.7.2 installer.
Release notes for these can be found here.
The ASIO drivers are not yet supported for use with Vista.

TTM 57SL Firmware Update:
1.7.2 includes a firmware update to v2.10 for the TTM 57SL.
Full details of what the new firmware can do are listed below, but briefly:

- There's a new Hold Echo effect and improved effect controls for the filters.
- You can now deploy all effects into either effect socket. You can now have filters in both effect sockets 1 and 2. You cannot however have echo effects in both sockets at the same time.
- A new bpm tap algorithm and 8 effect dependent BPM multipliers.
- More sensible defaults and ranges for all effects.
- 'Save to mixer' option, per effect slot. These save the current effect state to the mixer for when you use the mixer without Scratch Live connected.
- You can now save the Stereo House Meter and Master Cue button states to the mixer as power-on defaults.

PLEASE NOTE: The version 2 firmware does not work with older versions of Scratch Live! The mixer will still be usable with older versions of Scratch Live, but the effects do not display parameter values on the computer screen, so you will not be able to see how the effects are configured. You will have same control over the effects that you have when using effects without Scratch Live connected.
If you are using a mixer that is not yours and shared by other people please DON'T UPGRADE their firmware without their permission. If you don't click the upgrade firmware button 1.7.2 will run fine on the version 1 firmware.

To update the firmware, click the setup button on the hardware panel of the Scratch Live user interface, and click
The firmware upgrade takes approximately 10 seconds, during which time the mixer will not be usable. If for any reason the firmware upgrade does not work, just turn the mixer off and back on again. It's not possible to damage the mixer whilst performing a firmware upgrade.

Full Details for the TTM 57SL firmware v2.10:
* You can now deploy all effects into either effect socket. You can now have filters in both effect sockets 1 and 2. You cannot however have echo effects in both sockets at the same time.
* A new Hold Echo effect. More details are below.
* A new bpm tap algorithm.
* 8 BPM multipliers, effect dependent
* More sensible defaults for all effects
* More sensible ranges for all effects
* Individual 'save to mixer' options, one per effect slot. Pressing these saves the current effect state to the mixer for when you use the mixer without Scratch Live connected.
* TTM 57SL Echo and Hold Echo effects bpm multipliers are now disabled if unavailable: x2 multiplier is disabled if bpm is less than 40 x4 multiplier is disabled if bpm is less than 80

Hold echo effect details:
* Tapping P1 sets the BPM
* Turning P1 fine tunes the delay time (there is a lot of acceleration on this, so a slow turn will give a very small change, a fast turn wil
