VinylScratch — DJ Scratch Pad

VinylScratch turns your iPhone into a real scratch instrument. Load any audio sample and control it like a record — scratch, cut, loop, cue, and shape the sound with live effects — all with your fingers on the touchscreen.

Whether you're a turntablist practicing cuts without decks, a producer sketching DJ-style arrangements, or a beatmaker who wants tactile sample control — VinylScratch gives you the physics, the effects, and the workflow to do it properly.

Drop in a sample, feel the vinyl, twist the FX, hit record.

VINYL PHYSICS ENGINE
The scratch engine models real platter mechanics. Sound accelerates and decelerates the way a record actually does, with natural spin-down when you release.

• Drag on the waveform to scratch — velocity and direction tracked sample-accurately
• Three inertia modes: VINYL (natural spin-down), PAGE (instant stop), OFF
• Adjustable sensitivity from ultra-fine to aggressive
• Multitouch scratch support on iPad

LIVE FX PAD
A Kaoss Pad-style XY touch surface for real-time effects. Slide your finger to shape the sound — both axes control different parameters simultaneously.

• Filter — LP/HP sweep and ISO (SP-404 style isolator)
• Reverb — room, hall, plate and more
• Delay — time, feedback, and LP cutoff control
• Distortion — bit crush and lo-fi presets
• FX1 & FX2 — two configurable effect slots with custom axis mapping
• HOLD — lock the effect in place after lifting your finger
• Glow trail visualization on the XY pad

CUT & REV
• CUT — hold to mute the signal, just like a crossfader kill
• REV — flips playback direction
• Crossfader strip for blend control

CUE POINTS & LOOP
• Two cue points: CUE A and CUE B — set, jump, clear
• Loop IN/OUT with toggle — keeps the region when disabled
• Full waveform view with overview strip
