Description

“Back and Forth” is the only construction kit that allows you to create an entire song using the various samples within it. Hearing is believing:

“When I discussed with Matteo about how to carry out this project, I immediately thought of condensing the entire panorama of the world of turntablism and scratch, with its sounds and technicalities, inside this collection. The result is out of the ordinary because it encompasses almost two years of studio recordings including percussive samples, the great scratch classics, musical cuts and manipulations of vinyls and needles.” – Lorenzo di Tria

Back and Forth differs from any other scratch library on the galaxy for its 400 samples recorded entirely in the studio only with real vinyls, plus a unique Ableton Live Instrument (.amxd): the Scratch Machine.

Back and Forth – Scratch Machine

It’s a magical sample-based scratch improvisator that combines many different scratch combos with criteria. With the ability to choose six different classic samples (THA, FRESH, TWAI, AYE, YE, YO), the Scratch Machine adds a timeless and authentic turntablist to any type of production, from the most old school Breakbeat, to the freshest Trap Vibe. Now you can easily add some real-sounding scratch sfx to your musical productions with a Max for Live device that simulates a realistic freestyle by a DJ. All audio samples are recorded with pristine A/D conversion to get the maximum sound quality and preserve all the nuances of the different manipulations and techniques.

But wait, there’s more: THE QnA LOOPER – VOL.1 is included in the package and it’s free! It’s a new way of thinking the scratch looper. Now you can easily improve your dj skills using just this Max/MSP standalone application (for Mac and PC) and practice on 18 different beats with an automated scratch engine! With 900 sample-based answers, the QnA Looper makes easier and smarter your training sessions.
