Fretless Fader MIDI Prototype with Vestax Controller One

This is the first public view of the Fretless Fader system I designed for use with the Controller One (posted February 22, 2009). It's a simple MIDI controller that allows you to cut and change notes through 2 octaves without taking your hands away from the vinyl and fader. Big thanks to Gizmo at skratchworx.com for the feature! Stay tuned for an in depth look in the next vid.

Will this be a highlight at 2010 NAMM at all? I hope Vestax picked up on this. This will resurrect the skratch game, If not, I would never understand why vestax would make a guitar-mixer-ttable and not something more useful like this.

Words cannot describe how amazing this is. I really hope you got a patent or something for this and no big companies try and rip you off. What type of Talk Box is that or did you make that yourself too? Mad props, can't have enough respect for you and your humble attitude, it's a breath of fresh air. I hope you get all the fame, fortune and credit that you desire in life.
