World's First Touch Screen Decks
Gotta love the technophiles with tons of time on their hands...
Feast your eyes on the world’s first touch-screen decks. No, these aren’t the product of a major corporation like Vestax or Technics, they are in fact the brainchild of a student at Dundee University (Dundee, Scotland) studying innovative product design. For his final year project he’s created a touch screen turntable that lets DJ’s loop, sample and scratch wave forms just as you would a record. Someone certainly has been eating their haggis, because this is a work of genius. Most students have the same idea at the same points in their lives: “I’ll do something for my final year that I can use to get me a job”.
It usually ends up like rubbish, right?
Not Scott Hobbs. “With the TT you can see and touch the music,” Hobbs told the press.
Hobbs: guaranteed a date now “It shows where all the beats are, which gives you complete control of the song in a mix.” Hobbs’ touch screen creations are supposed to be used in a traditional turntable configuration, with two of them connected to a mixer via a line-out. A laptop harbours the MP3 or audio tracks that are then manipulated via the touch screen decks. Hobbs even wrote the damn software: “I have plans to develop it to work with other DJ software,” he exclaimed. “The TT would make an amazing Midi controller, as well as just a standalone unit, so DJs can use them as they wish.” The ATTIGO TT is currently a working prototype, and Scott is looking for manufacturers to partner with.
