Fretless Fader, a turntablist device.

@Haze... the FF needs a MIDI capable device to work so no 1200s.

Decks that have MIDI and will work are the Vestax Controller One, PDX-3000, and the Numark CDX and HDX.

This would be amazing on a midi fighter. could add so much more depth to scratching/juggling/button mashing routines. Can it be used with the tech 1200 or only vestax?

Not necessarily a Vestax, but it does have to be Midi (although I think the Vestax is the only commercially available midi TT). But at $2k just for the TT, this nice little project could get expensive fast.

Still thinking about how to do this one digitally...

Edit: already corrected by the man himself. P.S. Welcome to DJTT!!

You could do with midi if you were midi scratching the decks (but not with timecode without the right decks).

I don't think it would be much of a problem to transfer this idea to Traktor using BMTP. You could use a cc to control the key adjust in Traktor. First, you'd need to "create a scale" by noting what values on the CC corresponded with your desired scale steps. Then you would write a translator that quantized the CC output to those desired values. You could use this idea to also use notes to drive the key adjust knob. This would probably be the better way to go because it would give you instant random access to particular note values, and it could be played with a traditional keyboard.

I really like that, so simple (as in the idea, not the execution) but really effective!!!
Good on you John!!!
