We believe that by providing this technology free of charge to developers, as well as linking its use with the ScratchAmp, FinalScratch users will now enjoy an unbelievable new realm of possibility.

Stanton Final Scratch?? What Happened to. I used it until version 1.5 and then upgraded to Traktor Final Scratch 2 and then to Traktor DJ Studio 3 which had Final.

Honestly Guys Its Not Bad At All. I Currently Own Final Scratch 2. And Its great on all computers. If your computer doesnt come with firewire spend 25 dollars to get a card to work with it. And Simply just download the drivers for vista or mac off the internet. Just search for it, if you look in the right places you will find it. And for software to work with it Traktor Scratch.. Works fine with it. It notices the driver and accepts it with noo problem @ all. I am currently running Traktor Scratch Pro on an Acer Aspire 5735Z, 2.0 Ghz Intel Pentium Dualcore processor. And it works just fine. I did have to buy the special firecard for it. But its a good product, and if you can get it for a steal Go FOR IT!Jump to navigationJump to search

Final Scratch is a DJ tool created by the Dutch company N2IT with input from Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman) and John Acquaviva that allows manipulation and playback of digital audio sources using traditional vinyl and turntables. It seeks to cross the divide between the versatility of digital audio and the tactile control of vinyl turntablism.

Concept[edit]

Special vinyl records pressed with a digital timecode are played on normal turntables. The timecode signal is interpreted by a computer, connected to the turntables through an interface called the ScratchAmp. The signal represents where the stylus is on the record, in which direction it is traveling, and at what speed. This information is interpreted by the computer and used to play back a digital audio file which has been 'mapped' to the turntable. In practical terms, this means that any audio file can be manipulated as though it was pressed on vinyl.

Advantages/Disadvantages[edit]

Advantages:

Ability to play audio tracks unavailable on vinyl e.g. pre-arranged loops, unreleased music or rare tracks.
The use of CD deck features (software permitting) such as keylock, pitch shift, looping, instant cue locating and visual indicators of audio features such as loud or quiet parts.
The ability to prevent needle skips on the vinyl being reflected in the playback of the audio track being played/controlled (software permitting).

Disadvantages:

Reliability; depending on the hardware/software configuration used, vinyl emulation systems may use more system resources than some laptops or PCs offer, making them unsuitable for this use.

History[edit]

The original Final Scratch concept and prototypes were developed by the Dutch company N2IT V.O.F, by Mark-Jan Bastian, with help from Tim Hemel and Bill Squire.It has passed through multiple stages of development. These stages are marked by involvement with different companies, hardware configurations, software developers, licensees and licensors, and operating systems.

Pre-release[edit]

Final Scratch was originally developed for BeOS. Autocad lt 2018 serial key.

Versions 1.0-1.5[edit]

All versions of Final Scratch 1 use the same Scratchamp, a USB and RCA device in a round plastic shell. The technical specifications of this device have been closely guarded by Stanton as an anti-piracy measure, though some users, unsatisfied with the latency and instability of the system, have alleged the use of faulty Philips sound chips which had already been withdrawn from the market. However, the same chipset was being used in several other USB audio devices manufactured by companies like Griffin and Roland at that time.

Stanton Final Scratch 2 Driver Mac Version

FS 1.0 was released for PC only, on a specially modified distribution of DebianLinux. It was relatively primitive but some users found that, if configured correctly, it outperformed all subsequent versions of Final Scratch 1.x.

With version 1.1, Stanton Magnetics began working with Native Instruments on the software side of the product, which became Traktor Final Scratch. As the name suggests, this bore a resemblance to the interface of Traktor, a Native Instruments software DJing product. This version was once again available on Linux, but was also ported to Mac OS X.

The next major revision was version 1.5, which added a Windows XP version, but dropped Linux support. This version also added the ability to keep the pitch of the record constant whilst shifting the tempo. The interface changed very little, but some users initially had issues with the Windows Scratchamp drivers.

Support for the original Scratchamp has all but since disappeared and current owners, disappointed by the lack of support by Stanton, have had to rely on old versions of Traktor FS or Digiscratch.

Version 2[edit]

Version 2 marks the introduction of both a new Scratchamp hardware device and different software compatibility.

This new Scratchamp made 24-bit/96 kHz digital quality playback and record possible. Stanton added an ASIO driver, and MIDI capabilities. They also replaced the USB interface with Firewire which was intended to reduce playback latency. The new Scratchamp was developed by Alan Flum, Len Bryan, Mark DeMouy and Jim Mazur.

The version 2 Scratchamp is compatible with Native InstrumentsTraktor DJ Studio versions 2.6 and through 3.2.0.85 (Mac). NI has dropped support of SA2 in favor of their own vinyl system Traktor Scratch.

Stanton Final Scratch 2

Final Scratch Open[edit]

In late 2005, Stanton and Native Instruments ended their working relationship. Stanton still markets the ScratchAmp hardware as part of Final Scratch Open, introduced in early 2007. Stanton claims that the ScratchAmp can now interact with any audio software through ASIO or WDM on Windows, and CoreAudio in Mac OS X. Although all Windows and Mac audio software is ostensibly compatible with Final Scratch Open, there is no dedicated software program for deejaying with the ScratchAmp hardware.

Internal workings[edit]

The internal workings of Final Scratch are quite simple to understand. Multiple open source software libraries have been created to decode the Final Scratch time code. Th
