Numark PT01 Scratch demo with Emma Short-e

While Emma Short-e from School of Scratch was in the Worxlab filming a different project, we asked her to record a short funky freestyle on the new portablist specific Numark PT01 Scratch turntable.
This is the edited highlights, that gives a clear answer to the question of whether the "scratch switch" can actually scratch. The answer is yes by the way.
Big thanks to Emma and to Numark.

[@baronvongreenback]

Nice!, Love Short-E's cuts, A few missed clicks here and there but that could be because she wasn't used to the switch compared to a fader. Really would like a play on one of these.

[@illtripbeats]

clean crisp and funky

Why are people so damb negative about shit if you dont like it dont buy it if you aint got no talent nothing will make you sound good this looks like fun to me great for a portable set up to add spice to your beats.

[@ZakWolf]

I still use a Numark PT01-USB, but it's starting to show its' age a bit. I may eventually replace it with a PT01 Scratch, as it appears to be identical to the PT01-USB but with that scratch feature.

[@mamba_bate3740]

Still watching this video! Haha! Helped me a lot and gained confidence using the switch! More to learn tho. 🤣

[@drvenhrd46]

The scratch switch is a smoother version of a toggle switch on a regular mixer..without the clicks, locks and popping sound.

[@victabeer3960]

Emma Short-e has mad scratch skills and makes it look easy . Ive seen guys using a similar older porta deck at Vinyl swap meets . Peoples trading Rare Grooves and Testing the Vinyl is wise. . Cheers

[@blazemunoz4147]

Wow just like a gemini table just ad good I will purchase one asap great video

[@DJRY360]

i just got one.. really needs a start/stop button but it's a decent machine.. and you can totally scratch 12" records, you just have to move your hand in a bit closer to the label or you tilt the record up and it kicks the arm and causes it to jump.. a bit harder to do really tight fast cuts but you can manage easily

[@guillermosierra3004]

aaahh I was waiting for Emma on those portable Numark. I got mine and I love them, if you are thinking about buying those, what are you waitin for? oh and grab a portable speaker because integrated speaker is the only con.

hello, I have question, what is the speed of the 7" that u using, 45 or 33 1/2

[@STEVEWONDA1976]

It looks like the speed switch is all the way to the left which would mean it's playing at 33 1/3.

Check your output leads if you're using them. Also play with your tone dial.

[@miroslavstojic8044]

so it's only for right-fader and left-vynl?

[@djworx]

No. You only have to look at the wealth of portablist videos to see that everyone uses them. It's just a matter of adapting.

[@kanehenderson5142]

[@c3sar0]

the cf is detachable and can be turned around in the socket

[@threelittlelosers492]

I know right, I learned to use the fader with my left hand for scratching, I can still use my right hand but it doesn't feel right, kinda ruins my flow

[@FuntClaps101]

Can you play an audio acapella from your phone and scratch it on a blank vinyl with this?

[@illpee01]

Wondering the something

[@hunterchapman9845]

Like a serato disk? No. Your phone can play through the speakers with the included aux in port, but to scratch you need to be using a vinyl record on the turntable. I'm assuming by "blank" record you mean a serato tone disk, which would do nothing on this besides play the control tone that the serato software uses to play wav files. I would advice you go digging and look for Acapellas, you can usually find 7" singles with them for less than a few dollars. 12" Acapellas are usually even cheaper

[@remixservice7]

Can i practice flares on this or advanced and intermediate scratches, srry im a nub ;( pls help

I have question i wanna know how you twist the fader like that i want to rotate my fader like yours i know how to unscrew the fader but the wire inside is too short

[@TROGULAR10000]

a spell has been cast on my PT-01: it buzzes. Dreadful low hum grounding noise. Been on forums that recommended taking one cable, two cables, then entire USB unit out. The buzzing was unaffected. I tried scratching at low volumes where it doesn't buzz, to no avail. Then I notice the kill switch on mine is the other way around than she has it in this vid. What gives Numark? Good concept but can't you set it up the normal way without buzzes and the switch in the most habitual position?

[@mylittledaddy9137]

[@aksna5285]

Pastor Tony Marin you should use 7inch scratch vinyl only for scratching. you can listen to 12inches no problem as a player.

is this good for begginers?

[@djworx]

It's good for everyone. My only suggestion is to add a proper fader to it, something like a mini Innofader Pro. But you can start with the standard unit - that's what Emma is using in this video.

[@artpena3266]

@@djworx i can use that switch fader from the start right?

[@djworx]

@@artpena3266 For learning it's perfect. there's a lot to learn and practice before needing to add a fader for multi-click techniques.

[@artpena3266]

So, you can't do others tech like flares or chirp on switch fader?

[@djworx]

@@artpena3266 Yes you can. It's the multiclick stuff like crabs that are trickier, but as the video shows you can do it all. It's just cleaner with an upgraded fader. My advice - learn the basics first, and if you want to carry on, then upgrade the fader.

It's incredibly simple. Just undo the screws in the fader faceplate, turn the fader 180°, and put the screws back in.

[@1encinitas]

DJWORX thanks for your quick response! Ok cool that's how I did it, it just seems like it's pulling the cable/connection underneath and putting tension on it but I guess that's how it's suppose to be?

[@djworx]

There's just enough play in the cable for you to rotate it.

[@1encinitas]

@Mark Settle I have the unmodified turntable and I think it really depends on the record itself. If the record is slightly warped, it tends to skip a little bit but I guess that skip-less records partly solve this issue.

My issue here is that she is using a "7 scratch record, which is not included. When you attempt to use a 45" with the adapter the product simply does not work. The adapter is too light and thin and pops right out. Also the 1/8" cord to connect your phone / tablet is not included. So as far as an "out of the box" demonstration this video is misleading. This could have been an excellent product but as is its lacking in several areas.

[@DJWildstyle7997]

@Mark Settle you literally made the "Out of the Box" comment to another poster. And I quote......" Having shot the video in the Worxlab myself, I can assure you that this is an Out of the Box product. No mods at all"...Those were your own words buddy. Let the backpedaling begin 😅😅😅😅
