Do-It-Yourself Turntables

Thursday, Jul 31, 2008
Wanna attempt to be a DJ, but too cheap to splurge on those turntables? Never fret - all you need is a computer, a camera, software, and a good ol' pen and paper.

This cool clip shows the potential of the TRAKTOR DJ Music System by allowing you to create turntables out of any surface.

DJ MoCAP, master of time and white space, has developed a camera-based controller for the TRAKTOR Scratch DJ System. Just sketch the deck onto a piece of white paper and turn any high contrast surface into a mixing table. There seems to be a bit of latency but overall the system looks fairly responsive. Why? Why not, we say. Video demonstration after the break.
