timbap digital DJing - direct positioning

timbap is a digital DJing system that frees the DJ from keyboard, mouse and laptop screen. Both selecting music and scratching etc is achieved by manipulating the standard DJ turntable.

This video shows a close-up look on the possibilities for direct positioning in the music collection with timbap.

Have you used it on a big sound system? Im mean a large club how dose it sound dose it sound like real vynil

[ndark]

As it uses the MsPinky SDK, it sounds exactly like MsPinky or Torq. Not like real vinyl of course, as it's digital.

I won't get into the vinyl vs mp3 discussion.

[ishkabibble0012]

so theoretically you would have two of these?

[ndark]

Yes, you would have two.

One for every turntable.

[inofaith]

pretty much. its Ms Pinky. its kindof the open source version of what serato and stanton would'nt dare make :P.

It uses Max/MSP so you can do just about anything with the timecode data that you get from the spinning records.

And this is an awesome project. respect.

[funknotik]

Indeed but serato is a close second...

[jaytechnical]

serato is not the best,vinyl is the best

[funknotik]

I agree digital djing with a laptop is easy enough, I think we are good with that. Still a very nice project and who ever has the money and the resources to have this and be a resident dj is pretty lucky. I think pocket sized projectors are coming out soon in japan, so maybe that will make this more of a possibility.

everywhere i have been there is too mutch bass lol so even aligned projectors would be useless and i just dont like this thing

[funknotik]

Are you sure it's not jesus christs' powers? Lol! Well seeing as I most venues don't just have two perfectly aligned projectors this shit is pretty useless. I thought there was an attachment of some kind that projected the image on the vinyl. Anyway serato is still the best!

[bestamerica]

real screen on the windows record or tv project from the top

[destructiveone66]

um a projector?

[funknotik]

Ok what is projecting the image on to the vinyl??
