I don't really have much of an opinion on it. I'd like to see someone do something different than guitar/keyboard solos. I do think the design and invention itself is pretty cool, but I have yet to see anything done on it that was all that interesting. I think I'd rather watch a dj manipulate a record into something different than do a faux guitar shred.
that being said, D-Styles, who helped design this, is one of the nicest, most humble people and a really cool guy.
"Man, they got these sick new things called keyboards that you can play records on".
Amazing Technology, Yes. Do I ever want / need one? Hell No. That being said, I have seen some dudes killing it with this. Also being said, I have already heard some of the worst 'turntable music' ever made directly because of it.
D-styles probably flips this thing harder than anyone.
In 1951, RTF provided Schaeffer with a new studio. It included a tape recorder. This was an important event as the phonograph had been his tool for composition up to that point. One of the recorders had 5 track capability. One , known as the Morphophone, had 12 playback heads, which allowed for tape echo and a pseudo reverb effect. Two other decks known as Phonogenes were designed to play prerecorded loops at different speeds (one came with a 12 note keyboard!).[/b]
Do you set the pitch for each key on controller one, or are they fixed?
