J Martins Posted December 7, 2011 Report 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?
nILS Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 You've seen =scratch]this, I assume? I'd think it's a good base for your use-case.
J Martins Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report 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:
