Hi Guys, Just dropped this mix for Ninja Tune's Solid Steel show. Was good to be given a platform to rep some scratching and creative DJ'ing. Check it out to hear me ruining a host of electronic music... http://www.solidsteel.net/broadcasts/955

Seing as I've been a morbid ass earlier thought I'd finally post a file. Only just managed to sync audio n video so then I thought what am I gunna put on it. I aint got no routines or concrete cuts so I spent a little time on the phrasey bit and just freestyled the rest. I think its pretty pisspoor compared to what I do in my zone. But ive come to realise catching yourself in the zone on camera is harder than I thought. So here goes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFMsVwu5pZ4&feature=youtube_gdata_player Feel free to rip it to bits gents call it a bit messy or whatever. Thats wat I think of it. Glad to finally get it of my chest tho. Im gunna spend some time on my next un and maybe plan some cuts or summet. Fakin brain goes blank soon as I hit record so I think best to compose summet next time.

Holy shit, I own an outlaw country record and had no idea! Stealthwin Likewise... Actually I think I might have one of those Willie Nelson records as well.

Yeah basically to do a clear vinyl or a pic disk vinyl or some sort of etching that would provide some sort of visual cueing system is the dream, but to do it on a pressed record is totally possible but expensive. Its about manually lining up your design with whats been already cut. And theres still a risk of the motion of the press affecting your carefully lined up stamper.... Its something i would love to do but will take time and money to perfect

The motor speed control circuit is a mess of incomprehensible resistor networks, but it all boils down to the diagram on page 4 of this datasheet - http://www.rcscomponents.kiev.ua/datasheets/upc1470ed3iuf.pdf- "RT" controls the torque and "RS" controls the speed. RS is selected by the 33/45/78 switch, and RT is controlled by the pitch knob. So when you're varying the pitch you're actually varying the torque, dunno why it's set up like that. I'll rip it all out and experiment with different values of RT and RS when I get a chance - maybe we can get more torque at low speeds. Yeah man I'd love for other people to have a go at building this thing, hit me up if you have any problems with it. Here's an updated version of the schematic that should be a bit more flexible as it has input signal biasing (will work on devices other than the PT-01) : Yeah man, will have a few of these made up and see if anyone wants to buy them. If you wanted to put them as a standalone faderbox you'd probably want to add input and output buffering, which is simple enough but would have added another 6 opamps to the design (so at least another 2 chips). Yeah man that's me, hit me up on facebook. I'm nearly finished the PCB design, here's what I've got so far :

I neither have nor plan to get a portable scratch setup but I still absolutely love that this thread exists
