Heiner, scratch testing isn`t done in Ableton. It was NI Traktor. I wanted to know how is it for the job, even I wan`t be doing any scratching with it. ;)

Thank you all for the nice words.

Wow, thats amazing!

I just really wonder how the scratching feature is done? Cause ableton live does not support any scratching without the use of external (mostly bad) VSTs…?

Amazing, this is the next best thing to working with actual hardware instruments.
I am really excited to see how this evolves, now that my Faderfox controllers are gone…. ;-)

@wax, ’tis not an emulator, it is a physical interface for virtual tools. While some may have dumped some of their virtualizable hardware, imho, midi based physical interfacing is complimentary to and a natural extension of the virtual tooling. Just like QWERTY keyboards, joysticks and mice.

Thanks for posting an article about this Peter. I have been following this build in Sasa’s Flickr account and I have been totally fascinated.

The design of this is brilliant. I am also perplexed at how one single person can build a product that looks so extremely intuitive while most manufacturing companies are rehashing the same products over and over and don’t seem to get it.

Can’t wait to see this one get finished.

PS: Check out Sasa’s other creations. He has a sick SidBox amongst other things.
