It´s a emulation system for Timecode Vinyl System.
Of course the feel of turn the vinyl on the screen surface sucks.
I wonder if similar system could be done with a Mcu project (Midibox plataform preferably).
Like make that app a real hardware. Eg: A jogwheel with a optic sensor in a ADC system under MCU, sending a tone for a DJ software/Timecode interface.
It could be the definitive solution for the *poor* scratch system under MIDI. Also people could have a timecode system under their little knobs/jogwheels, for instance. So, avoiding the pain of carry their turntables up and down.
What approach you suggest to make a similar hardware system based on that app?
Yes, I had read about rasteri´s scratch controller few times before.
Althought I must PM/email him asking how precise his controller is and other few infos, some thoughts come to my mind:
1- Still MIDI, and if I remember correctly, In previous discussions on the forum, MIDI have a limitated baud rate when it comes to translate real scratch routines. Old threads though, it can be different now with MIOS32 over new Cores? (stm32, lpc1769)
2- On the wikipage, he said the CC MIDI messages coming from his precise jogwheel is natively supported in Traktor 3 and MixVibes only. Traktor is the industry standard, yes, and I don´t know too many people in the digital DJ realm that go to a serious gig with other software. However, if it have support for timecode tones, other industry standard could be included. eg. Itch Serato DJ software. Also he didn´t mentioned other versions of Traktor could support such CC events. Timecode tones are largely supported for all DJ softwares.
yet, rasteri´s scratch controller is a good basis of learning for a timecode emulation system via hardware
