Touchscreen turntable for hitech DJs

Is technology enabling amateur DJs to work on hype alone? Is it muddling the skills it once took to be called a DJ? With the barrier to entry now ripped away by easy to use software and gadgets, what does it all mean? The DJ community is wondering if technology is destroying the art of DJing.

The ATTIGO TT was created by Scott Hobbs, a student at Dundee University studying innovative product design. For his final year project he’s created a touch screen turntable that lets DJ’s loop, sample and scratch wave forms just as you would a record. The size of the touchtable is approximately the same as a standard turntable, making the physical interaction nearly the same. Where this takes off is in the flexibility and features included right at your fingertips, no longer locked up on a computer screen. The ATTIGO TT is currently a working prototype, and Scott is looking for manufacturers to partner with.
