WHERE'S MY FACEPLATE?

It's a very difficult thing to accept the contribution of someone in a hobby/culture/artform so small like ours, without taking into consideration their character quality. I'm almost convinced by you that Rucker could have helped this scene to progress even more, but I refuse out of personal beliefs to support and acknoledge people who simply cannot behave in a good manner. Talking shit towards everyone (and usually behind their backs or remotely via a PC) is not hiphop culture, that's plain street bumb/ e-thug attitude. Disk & Flare might talked loudly last year against Q, but they contained themselves towards that person only, which happened to be their peer too. Nevertheless though, it's always the question of "whatever means necessary". I guess everyone had to put up with a bumb, cause he was actually contributing at the same time, and that probably happened for a few years back in ASIS and Funkshitup. But he is not helping or contributing any further since years, so there's no reason to play along anymore. The same goes for others like Yogafrog. It's time for masks to fall and for the rest to move forward.

Also this thread takes me back to using DiscJuggler to burn bootleg dreamcast games.

When push comes to shove - who here has ltd edition gold turntables and mixer. I paid my dues in my 9-5, dropping innovative spreadsheets that my colleagues couldn't understand to amass a credit limit which allowed me to buy them. Ruck ain't got nothing on that kind of next level.

Hehe - that's exactly what I thought as soon as Frost commented so that's what I started doing I figure if there's at you, me and at least 1 other person interested in it then it's worth discussing openly When I first came up with this idea, I was going to use a turntable platter with no tonearm and it would use the Tascam TTM-1 connected to a Vestax CDJ unit. I was going to take a flight case and build it all into that so that it could be a portable preDVS DVS system. I worked out various ways of doing it (including mounting the TTM-1 underneath the platter so that it was safely out of the way and all you had on top of the unti was the platter, on/off switch, 33/45 buttons and pitch slider Then DVS came along and I wanted it, but didn't want to spend the hundreds on Final Scratch (which was the thing at the time) and then even more on a laptop... so I canned the idea. Until Adion DJDecks.be. When DJ Decks came out I bought a Final Scratch control record and, using my existing soundcard, a spare mixer and pre-amp, I managed to get DVS working without a Final Scratch box etc. I started thinking about the flight case all in one idea again, but this time, instead of using the TTM-1 and a CDJ, I would use a PC which would be built into the flight case underneath the turntable (along with pre-amps etc.) and the turntable would then be used with a control vinyl. The company I worked for had just created one of the first all in one touch screen units and my idea was to piggy-back on their development work in order to use a touch screen for the PC. Various things happened included the company I worked for being bought out by a massive conglomerate which then swallowed it all up and closed it down. I was redundant and broke as fuck - surprisingly, the idea got put on the back burner for a long time. Recently I've been thinking about it all over again and it seems like the time could be right to make it an actual possiblity now. I'm not interested in trying to use it to make money (I know, I'd make a shit Yogafrog ) but rather I want to make it something that is within financial reach of all the fellow nerds who would appreciate it. As a result, using something open source (like linux and xwax, for example) makes the most sense - and making it an open source project in itself seems like the right thing to do too. A raspberry Pi is, what, £30? A 7 inch capacative touch screen for it is roughly £40. If it can use something like an M-Audio Conectiv or a Maya 44 or whatever (I say Conectiv because they're supercheap now that nobody wants them, but they're still really handy in terms of being DVS-ready... and also I already have one kicking around) then all I'm really talking about initially is combining the components of a turntable (say a battered old PDX-2000 - simply because it's obviously ultrapitch and they seem to be relatively plentiful) with a basic soundcard (e.g. Conectiv) and Raspberry Pi with touch screen into a single housing (which I've already spoken to Ric about and he's 100% into creating). I've got lots of ideas for future developments, too, but I don't know if there's any point in going down that route yet

Why not just discuss it here? That way other techy-minded people can benefit from the discussion in future. When I'm trying to figure stuff out I love reading through endless discussion threads on forums. Unless it's something you expressly don't want to discuss in public. (Also I figure as long as the SJW thread has more pages than this then it's fair game ). Interestingly enough me and a mate started a project to have a tiny standalone DVS system, we were gunna call it the "WeeVS"... the project kinda petered out, but this was before the raspi even existed so it'd be a lot easier to implement now.

Basically, for a very very long time I've had the intention to create a completely portable integrated DVS system. There are a great many different iterations of it, from proof of concept demo units through to fully customised software with multi-track capabilities etc. but up until recently it has only existed on scraps of paper and in animated conversations with scratch nerds. Recently - to be honest, since the appearance of the portable scratch setups - I have started to feel that it has reached the point where it's not only possible to make it happen, but I actually know everyone with the skills to help make it a reality. It's not so much a case of putting together funds in order for somebody to make it possible, but rather pooling knowledge so that it's possible to make it a reality for everyone to do themselves. The only thing people would need is the components which could be essentially put together as a kit or even just a shopping list and set of instructions

Is DV about to invent its own DVS? I hope so! I'll give you a tenner to get started.

Also would be interesting to know what you guys called cuts. We used to cal a tear a wobble or sumet ha😂😂😂 jam can clarify. Just playing a sample we called repeats Think we used to call the chirp choppin, I think because we was chopping half the sound away, then we thought that was the flare ha we was wrong. There was the pull back which was a slow second half of a baby. Then there was Agh fuk it I'm chombawafflin, I shud have put this on a different thread anywayz😉

It's a sad day when anyone wishes they were a banker.

He does a pretty good job with this one. This i obvs just the new features...
