Abstract

Scratching with turntables is a popular sound generation technique in today's music scene, especially in hip-hop culture. A conventional turntable system consists of two turntables (record players) and an audio mixer, but the proposed system requires a computer and a multi-touch sensing device, so it is smaller and portable. Moreover, the proposed system enables the use of various novel scratching techniques that are difficult or impossible to perform on existing systems. In this paper we describe the implementation of the proposed system and introduce some scratching techniques that can be used with it.
