J Martins Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi I finally got my tablet and recently got this app: Tonetable 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 You've seen =scratch]this, I assume? I'd think it's a good base for your use-case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Martins Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 HI 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 What approach you suggest to make a similar hardware system based on that app? hope to listen more suggestions :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
