How to Transform Scratch on a DJ Controller

The transformer scratch is by far my favorite scratch of all time because it can be so funky with the right movements and variation.

Learning this scratch will take time and the right mastery of your fundamental scratching such as forwards, babys, and stabs.

► Script:

Now there are 4 steps on how to do the transformer scratch. The first one is this:

Position the crossfader to the off position, in this case, I scratch on the right side so I’ll position my crossfader on the left side

Next we want to make sure that our platter hand is right before the sample, so that when we scratch, we scratch the beginning of the sample. Now we’re gonna scratch.

The third step is that we wanna move the platter forward and at the same time do 2 taps on the crossfader as we reach the end of the sample.

The last step is that we’ll bring back the platter to the start of the sample and at the same time tap twice again and now we’re back where we started and that’s it!

Once you've learned it and feel confident in it, try altering the pitches of the scratch, and in that way you can make your scratch sound more unique but more importantly, funky!

Scratching on a controller is a little different than scratching on a CDJ or turntable, but it doesn't matter what you use, as long as you can use it.
