RUCKAZOID - CONTROLLER ONE DEMO #1

"The Controller One is an original concept design by The Ruckazoid.

http://www.myspace.com/ruckazoid

This turntable was designed to allow djs to play a vinyl or digital vinyl source as an instrument. It has full melodic capabilities, can be controlled by a footpedal, and even MIDI, as well as other groundbreaking features. This turntable can change the face of djing forever!

The Ruckazoid manipulates the vinyl, and uses the pitch buttons on the Controller One turntable to create the melodies. This performance was entirely improvised.

100's of more Controller One videos to come.

CONTROLLER ONE FEATURES:
*Use the pitch fader or the SCALE BUTTON to match the pitch speed instantly to major and minor scales.

*Multiple pitch modes which allow you to use the fader or the buttons to get different note changes. Allows the user to use the turntable in a traditional fashion too.

*Change the scale with the foot switch while you scratch. Just as a guitarist would do with a wah pedal or guitar effects. Allows you to fully utilize the turntable with the scratch hand and feet to to control speeds and pitches.

*The vinyl sound can be tuned, for when you play with other instruments or in a band. It's just as though a band or orchestra would do before a live performance, tuning their gear to bring the right sounds to the audience.

*If you're used to traditional pitch controls, switch the pitch fader function to PITCH mode and play with a variable pitch range of �}8/�}10/�}60%.

*Programmable buttons allow you to assign your own pitch percentages to any button for your own custom performance.

*Midi controls the speed of the turntable with a midi controller. This is great for use of hip hop producers wanting to maintain the richness of sound in analog records without losing depth when 16 leveling their samples.

*7SEG pitch LED for easy view and to know what note or pitch point you are on is located at the top corner, to make sure you're on the right key and sound.

*Powerful AC direct drive motor provides the best torque and stable speeds to perform the best in sounds.

*The pitch bend shifts up and down in half tones to play sharp and flat notes, enabling you to hit the notes and keys to the exactness.

*Solid wood body which promotes a richer sound, the best sounding turntable ever!

"A boss DR5 drum machine through a cheap FM transmitter.First I am adjusting the transmission frequency on the transmitter, then I adjusting the analog turning on the FM receiver. Not directly a synth, but I got one to destroy audio. These things work great, you can set your transmission frequency and dial in the distortion with a FM receiver."
