  • its nice to have some smart people who dont turn their hard drives into speakers and stuff

    thanks

  • i think this is research...something you're probably not familiar with...

    i think it's awesome what they do...keep up the work and hopefully it will deliver insights and inspire something great...

    Apart from that i salute all music pioneers who are building their own gear...this work is what changed music a lot, creating completely different sound experiences.

    making music with serato or else ist pretty easy...building your own set of electronic music devices is what will really rock ppls socks!

see all

  • it will be awesome play dj hero with these

  • so far it's creating input in two directions right?

  • It's cool.....but i dont even see the point of this

    its too small and pretty useless...why use a cd or a tiny hard drive when a turntable with scratchlive(insert other dj software here)works and can be manipulated much better with a nice big surface.

  • Oh, cool! :-) I didn't think it was already ok for MIDIBox Core rotary encoder inputs!

  • It don`t needs any protocol conversion. You just connect it directly to something like MIDIBox as it is rotary encoder. ; )

  • How do you control the wheel motor, and its speed?

  • Yes, but it needs protocol conversion!

  • Quite nice!
