MP 4 Overview
e MP 4 combines Rane mixer technology and Serato Scratch
LIVE software. e result is a mixer with the flexibility of playing
digital music directly from your computer while still supporting
traditional analog inputs. is two-bus mixer is able to simulta-
neously play stereo analog sources, play stereo digital files, and
digitally record Mic, Program A, Program B or Main-mix. You
can also operate the MP 4 as a stand-alone analog mixer without
a computer, or use it as a high-quality six-channel sound card
with Serato Scratch LIVE software, without analog sources.
e MP 4 is targeted at mobile DJ, night club, remix project
studio and post production applications. e Scratch LIVE MP 4
control screen includes many advanced features that enhance its
ability to mix and blend:
• Play / pause control, both forward and reverse
• Pitch ± and bend controls for ne tuning beat matching
• Fast forward and reverse
• Multiple cue points per track
• Censor (reverse a section without losing play position)
• Fader Start; Scrub track with mouse; Autoplay Crate…
and more.
e MP 4 is not a performance scratch mixer. It does not use
control vinyl or CDs and does not have a scratch fader.
While the MP 4 may be used as a generic sound card with
other software applications, for best performance and support we
highly recommend using Scratch LIVE. Performance using other
applications may vary and compatibility is not guaranteed.
e computer sees the MP 4 as three USB audio devices (two
stereo play and one stereo record). ASIO (for PC) and CoreAudio
(for Mac) drivers are included. e digital audio format is 24-bit,
3-byte PCM with a 48 kHz sample rate.

Recording
One USB stereo output is available for recording. Scratch LIVE
software allows selecting Mic, Program A, Program B or Main-
mix as the source. (see page Manual-15). e MIC TO USB
RECORD switch located on the rear panel determines if the Mic
is included in the USB Main-mix record output. e ability to
record lets you archive your analog sources, record samples to use
in your performance or to record your performance.
Cueing
Headphone Cueing allows independent selection of the Program
A or Program B input, making it possible to Cue any source
(digital or analog) with the push of a switch. e
