i bet theres a needle on the underside.

if you could really get that to synch up with something, itd
be pretty cool, but on its own is a little lame sounding to
be honest.

Looks cool though, I guess..

uhh.. i dont think there is a needle, looks to me like you
load audio into a hardware/software buffer and use the dummy
record as a controller, along with that crazy
fader.......both the record and fader look as though they
can be both controlled and automated (cos they seem to be
able to move on their own)

fuckd

infact...
D'Groove (Digital Groove) is the world's first digital
haptic force feedback turntable system. It controls the
playback rate and position of digital music (MP3's, WAVs,
CDs, etc) using a physical turntable controller that plugs
into a computer. It also uses "haptic" force feedback to
provide information about the music to the DJ through the
sense of touch.

D'Groove was designed and created by Timothy for his
Master's Degree at the University of British Columbia in
Vancouver, Canada.

pretty damn impressive technologically.... realistic
usability is another issue alltogether.

see the thing is here... everyone who believes in the
'sanctity' of vinyl and shit... will freak out saying that
this is bullshit, everyone else will be like "wow .... thats
neat... look, you can actually "feel" the beats "(see
below)...
the fact that this is based on the classic table set-up, is
kind of irrelevant. this guy has made something pretty
incredible. its interesting how he has tried to apply visual
and tactile feedback which applys to the actual audio
content, something which is not at all really present using
a real turntable.

please dont be a jerk and complain about how lame this is.

The result in resistance mode is that moving the
turntable or Q-slider in musically instense moments is hard
and moving them during breaks or musically relaxed moements
is easier. In beat-hills mode, the turntable feels like
you're pushing uphill when you hit a patch of musical
intensity and feels like you're falling downhill when you
hit a break. This mode is useful for navigating through the
song and is also fun for producing new scratch tricks and
effects.

i like how there's infinite possibility for pitch. it's
interesting.

i'd buy one if i were rich and i blew money on such things.
