Scratch Live Keyboard Shortcuts
Use Alt + Ctrl + 1 through 0 to trigger with the keyboard.

- You can MIDI assign individual Loop Roll lengths by 'Ctrl + Alt + Click' 
on the autoloop buttons when in MIDI assign mode.

- You can assign a MIDI knob to select an autoloop / loop roll length. You 
can assign a single MIDI button to loop roll or autoloop with the selected 
length. The MIDI select knob is assignable on the MIDI panel at the bottom 
of the screen when in MIDI assign mode (next to the autoloop and loop roll 
buttons).
You can also assign these controls to the TTM 57SL control surface.

- The autoloop and loop roll lengths now go down to 1/16th and 1/32 beat 
loops.
