UVI has announced the release of Scratch Machine, a standalone version of the virtual scratch instrument available in the Urban Suite bundle.

There’s no way to accurately reproduce the experience of scratching without a turntable but we’ve come pretty close with Scratch Machine. Grab a keyboard or pad controller, load up one of the classic sounds like ‘Fresh’ or a Speak’n’Spell and go crazy! All sounds were recorded directly from decks masterfully controlled by our resident turntablist and scratch artist DJ Quartz, delivering the authentic sound of vinyl in a truly expressive and highly-addictive instrument.

Take your performance a step further by dialing in the independent pitch and speed controls. Then create complex builds and breakdowns by triggering the 6 built-in effects including 2 delays, a phaser, a bit crusher, a reverb and a repeater from your controller keyboard. Add a 3-band EQ and a resonant filter and it’s like having a professional mixer and effect boxes right at your fingertips!

Scratch Machine features

  • Easy to use, fun to play, high-quality authentic sound.
  • Independent pitch and speed control, 6 effects plus EQ and resonant filter.
  • Includes a huge sample library with over 4,200 phrases.

Scratch Machine is available for purchase for $39 USD.
