"Cat Scratch Fever" is a song by American rock musician Ted Nugent from his album of the same name.[3] The song is well known for its signature riff, which is a 3-tone minor-key melody harmonized in parallel fourths. In 2009, it was named the 32nd-best hard rock song of all time by VH1.[4]
When you first turn it on you are using the scratch pad row. It is indicated by two underscores in the bottom left hand corner of the display. When you change patterns you will see the pattern flash to the right.
Another question: The manual says a song is made by patterns and chains.
In the tutorial Video he only uses Patterns.
How do I fill in a chain made for example with Pattern A1, A3,A7 ?
If I make a chain like this, can I give it a name ?
How can I insert it in a song ?
Most people assumed that Freddy was the voice behind the sentence, but history is tricky. Speaking to Dave Tompkins in his book How To Wreck A Nice Beach, Bill Laswell, who produced the record, revealed that it was in fact that of his manager, Roger Trilling. It was recorded on a whim during a late night in the studio. Trilling was clowning a record executive from Elektra known to utter the sentence when he liked a song. D.ST took the joke and performed a solo for the ages with it.
The San Francisco Bay Area had its own thriving mobile DJ scene in the 1980s, a scene dominated in part by the Filipino-American community. A microcosm of social and cultural interactions, this birthed the next evolution of scratching in the 1990s as individual DJs broke from the ranks of tightly-knit crews to venture out on their own.
In 1991, Richard Quitevis, a San Francisco native of Filipino descent who had started his DJing career as part of the Live Style mobile DJ crew, won the American leg of the DMC. As DJ Q-Bert, Quitevis was an energetic young scratcher with a thirst for knowledge. He travelled to London for the world championships only to be thwarted by DJ David and his handstand circus trick. On his return home he joined forces with two other Filipino-Americans mobile DJs: Mix Master Mike and Apollo.
Together, the three DJs began to think of scratching not simply as a rhythmic accompaniment or melodic sound, but as something more. In 1992, under the name Rocksteady DJs, they entered the DMC and took the crown at the world finals. In 1993, Mike and Q-Bert entered as The Dream Team and retained their title. Legend has it that the DMC asked them to retire, fearing no one would dare compete. What set Mike, Q-Bert and Apollo apart was a dedication to their craft and a belief that the turntable could be an instrument and a DJ crew could be a band, each with a precise role to fulfill. Apollo drummed, Mike cut the bass, and Q-Bert was the lead scratcher. It was a simple concept that would revolutionise the art form.
In July 1996, the International Turntablist Federation (ITF) held its first annual world finals in New York. The ITF had been set up that year by Alex Aquino, a Bay Area enthusiast and one-time manager of Q-Bert and Mix Master Mike, to promote a more musical appreciation of the art of scratching, placing itself somewhat in opposition to the DMC and fans of body tricks.
With so much focus on learning and legitimising, technique became an end onto itself, like battles before it, with many failing to see the forest for the trees. After all, musical technique is only useful if put to the service of creativity. In that sense, scratching was always best understood as an extension of jazz music, a practice suited to soloing and improvising where feeling trumps any rules. And the best DJs knew that.
But whether the music was composed entirely from records being scratched or blended with more traditional modes of production, it remained a niche within a niche. The technical plateau of the early 2000s quickly led to a creative plateau by the middle of the decade, a situation precipitated by technological advances that made information flow faster and reduced the cost of previously expensive production tools.
Scratch music is kind of like St. Croix's version of old-time, with jazz and calypso influences, and also European quadrille dance music traditions. A modern day (since the 1970's at least) full scratch band usually has seven people or instruments: saxophone as the lead, plus banjo-ukulele, electric guitar, triangle (steel), guiro (squash), conga, and electric bass guitar.
I've obtained a few vinyl LP's of vintage scratch music by bands such as Jamsie and the Happy Seven, Blinky and the Roadmasters, and Joe Paris and the All-Stars. The most interesting one is probably Caribe Songs Music Can't Done by Joe Paris (picture shown above). It was supposed to be another Jamsie record, but it was mislabeled. I think it's always mislabeled. The seller sent it to me anyway and I'm glad he did. It's definitely a USVI scratch band playing, but Side A is all music like for a square dance or contra dance, with a caller and a band playing traditional tunes fronted by saxophone. I believe the Joe Paris credited on the back of the record is actually supposed to be spelled Joe Parris.
In my very, very, vanilla way I am trying to learn some of these melodies. I also got the Zoop, Zoop, Zoop CD of traditional music and folklore of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John...mostly so I could read the liner notes. It's got some great songs too!
Students will explore the sounds available in the Scratch library. They will play sounds from various instruments and put them together to make a theme song. This module combines music and programming in a way that gives students creative freedom.

Hi...just downloaded and paid up to Spotify premium...so far everything looking ok except when I play any song it skips constantly...every 10secs or so...like a scratched CD...internet conection is decent so I have no idea what is going on. I am using a Mac. Obviously if I wasnt paying I wouldnt complain but paying for premium this should not happen, Open to ideas suggestions, help advice, Many thanks...
This is happening to me as well but on a PC. Crossfade tracks was off but gapless playback was on. I tried turning both off and on and it fixed nothing. Every track i play skips like a scratched disc every 10 seconds or so. Why is it that paying money for an upgrade degrades the quality of the software? I only bought this subscription for mobile access. Instantly regretting it.
This problem happens when i playback Spotify on my Windows PC, but does not happen if i play Spotify music through my Sonos system. If i did not have Sonos i would cancel my Spotify subscription because it is totally unacceptable to try listen to music with these continual skips/jumps happening every approx 30 seconds like a scratch on an LP record. Maybe the problem is with my wireless modem's internet speed connection that my PC has which is not fast/strong enough to handle Spotify without skips/jumps???
My understanding is that there are a number of theories but no definite solution has yet been given by Spotify...which is an absurd situation for us to be in. I get around the problem by only listening to my music through my Sonos system and not my computer. So i use my computer to set up all my Spotify playlists but then switch over to play Spotify through my Sonos system and not my PC, which is perfect and also gives a much better quality of hi-fi sound ......plus no jump/skip problems. If i did not have a Sonos system i would have cancelled my Spotify subscription long ago because you cannot listen to the music via your PC with it skipping the way it does every few times for most songs...........it is rediculious that Spotify have not gone out of their way to find a solution because they must be losing heaps of customers because of this issue
Any answer on this, Spotify? I can't listen to a single track on your service. Constant skipping, like a scratched CD. A few more days of this and I'm done. I'm on a Droid RAZR and have tried turning off gapless playback, etc...nothing has helped.
Same Issue. It only goes away for me if I play songs from my Starred or Available Offline playlists. Once they are store on my computer or iPod, the playback is fine. It's purely a streaming issue, and it's ridiculous. I'm sure than 40 megs down and a i7 quad core mac is plenty to handle an application like Spotify.

The song, which scratches all the itches of rock, so to speak, came out on the multi-platinum album of the same name. It hit No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, and in 2009, VH1 called it the 32nd-best hard rock song ever. But, today, while the track is considered a classic, it cannot be separated from its controversial composer.
A scratch track is an film recording that provides information on timing and content with the intention of being used as a reference for the final (or replacement) film. Scratch tracks are used in both film and film.
For situations like this, a scratch track is essential. It may not be great film, but it captures what was said, the tone in which the dialogue was delivered and the pace in which it was delivered. This allows the actor to recreate (and often improve) their delivery when it comes to re-recording the dialogue in a recording studio using ADR techniques. Without access to a scratch track, ADR is a nightmare.
