I’ve got another strand to add to the start of this story… (it’s a bit of a ramble) In 1998 I developed and exhibited a working prototype of a digital vinyl system as part of a MA Digital Arts at Middlesex University, in London UK.

Needle-drops, pitch changes and direction all worked (somewhat crudely), although scratching wasn’t happening.

I won’t bore you with the reasons why my project never got further than the prototype stage, but I often wondered ‘what if’ with regard to my ‘invention’ and N2IT’s deal with Stanton/NI…

Then I read this article last year, which (if corrent) shows that one of the Serato guys published a paper in 1996 which proposed pressing a ‘control tone’ on to vinyl, for the purpose of playing back digital audio.

As far as I understand, it’s the provable invention of an idea, not who patented it first, that counts. So they are the real inventors, and havin nothing to fear from N2IT’s patent.

Personally, I’m currently waiting for big idea #2 to appear ;P

I can’t believe its been 10 years already… I remember the exact moment I was introduced to digital vinyl, what always amazes me and still does is how accurate some of these set ups can get.. there is almost no lag factor.. and that was my first initial thought…”he’s cutting mp3’s… holy crap!”

i like cats.. I like vinyl.. I like turntables.. I like that picture..

@peter: damn, i misremembered what TerminatorX was/is. My recollection was that it used vinyl timecode from the beginning, when in fact, it never really has used it at all. My apologies for the misdirect. Feel free to delete my useless post.
