ㅤ
🤖 HOW TO DO 2-click, 3-click & 4-click TRANSFORMS (Forward, Release & Backward)
ㅤ
🚦Start Position:
Crossfader → CLOSED
Scratch Sample → BEGINNING
ㅤ
🤖 Step 1: Release (or) Push the sample FORWARD continuously as you OPEN & CLOSE (CLICK) the crossfader 2, 3 or 4 times ending in the CLOSED position.
ㅤ
🤖 Step 2: Pull the sample BACKWARD continuously as you OPEN & CLOSE (CLICK) the crossfader 2, 3 or 4 times ending in the CLOSED position.
ㅤ
2-CLICK TRANSFORM MANTRA:
🗨️ "Forward-2-Back-2"
ㅤ
3-CLICK TRANSFORM MANTRA:
🗨️ "Forward-2-3-Back-2-3"
ㅤ
4-CLICK TRANSFORM MANTRA:
🗨️ "Forward-2-3-4-Back-2-3-4"
ㅤ
✅ PRO TIP 1: Say these Mantras out loud as you perform the Transforms to help build your coordination.
ㅤ
✅ PRO TIP 2: Think of the RELEASE, FORWARD & BACKWARD Transforms as 3 separate techniques for each category (2-click, 3-click & 4-click) for a total of 9 techniques!
ㅤ
✅ PRO TIP 3: Pair different Transform techniques to create more elaborate Transform combinations (ex. 2-click Release + 4-click Backward)
ㅤ
✅ PRO TIP 4: Pair each Transform technique with other techniques to create other cool combos (ex. 1 Forward DICE + 2-click Backward Transform)

Learn the crossfader technique for the BASIC TRANSFORM scratch in 60 seconds! 🤖
ㅤ
🎶 Get my Endless Tone for FREE at 👉 https://ScratchDJToolkit.com⁠
ㅤ
📝 NOTE: Transforms (aka Transformers) can be performed in a TON of different ways with & without record/jog wheel manipulation
ㅤ
Practicing the fader hand by itself first should help you to get more comfortable with this tapping technique before you try to manipulate the record/jog wheel at the same time. 😘
ㅤ
🤖 HOW TO DO BASIC TRANSFORMS (Fader Only)
ㅤ
🚦Start Position:
Crossfader → CLOSED
Scratch Sample → a looped ENDLESS TONE (or Serato Control Tone) playing continuously
ㅤ
🤖 Step 1: Start to play the tone continuously
ㅤ
🤖 Step 2: Rest your thumb on the closed crossfader with minimal tension
ㅤ
🤖 Step 3: Tap the fader with your middle &/or pointer finger(s) to open it up & allow your thumb to act as a spring to naturally close the fader again
ㅤ
🤖 Step 4: Get creative & have fun tapping any rhythm you can think of
ㅤ
✅ PRO TIP: Spin the turntable platter/jog wheel counter clockwise for a cool modulation effect while tapping out your Basic Transforms!
ㅤ
🤖 Bonus Step 1: Press the start/stop button to turn the turntable platter off (or jog wheel in vinyl mode) & then pull the platter/jog wheel to spin it backwards so the tone starts playing in reverse.
ㅤ
🤖 Bonus Step 2: Then start tapping the fader for as long as you can until the platter/jog winds down & stops spinning on its own.

✅ PRO TIP: If you use Serato control vinyl, you can also just switch that deck to "phono" (instead of USB) to use the control tone as an endless tone too!

I'm also using the control tone during a portion of this video, in addition to the endless tone. If you listen closely you can hear the difference.😉
