This portable MIDI controller comes with 4-Deck Control for supported 4-deck hardware, as well as 16 velocity‑sensitive Performance Pads with seven pad modes for enhanced hands-on performance, including a Serato Video control layer.
Basically, the DDJ-SP1 sends two types of MIDI message when you turn the knob; course and fine data. Scratch Live picks up on the course data, rather than the fine data. To solve this (on a Mac at least, unsure of the software for PC but process would be the same), download Midi Pipe and Midi Monitor.
DDJ-SP1 supports Serato's SCRATCH LIVE. SCRATCH LIVE setting file is required when Serato SCRATCH LIVE Ver.2.5.0 is used with DDJ-SP1. Precaution: Please update SCRATCH LIVE to Ver.2.5.0 or later. SCRATCH LIVE Setting File download. Please see the following Import Guide for details of importing SCRATCH LIVE setting file.

Basically, the DDJ-SP1 sends two types of MIDI message when you turn the knob; course and fine data. Scratch Live picks up on the course data, rather than the fine data. To solve this (on a Mac at least, unsure of the software for PC but process would be the same), download Midi Pipe and Midi Monitor. Midi Monitor will show you the midi data and channels that the DDJ-SP1 is sending. Turn the knob, and make a note of what CC channel the course data is on. Midi Pipe is then used to change the CC information, so Scratch Live gets the right information. Open Midi Pipe and select the DDJ-SP1. Next add a 'Midi In' onto the right hand side. Next, add a 'CC Converter'. On the config, select the CC Data and the channel the course data is on, then, on the right, select 'Note Off'. This will convert the CC Message to being a Note Off message. Next, add a 'Midi Out' and select DDJ-SP1. Now when you turn the knob, Scratch Live should only use the fine data. Copy this process for each knob by adding a new 'CC Converter' in Midi Pipe, save the preset in Scratch Live and all shoukd be good. Otherwise, download my midi preset
