Scratch, Tweak Tracks With GoMA Touch Screen Turntable
By Joe Wertz
The turntable and its purist followers long resisted digital updates. In recent years, however, CDs, hard drives and even DVDs have been tamed by the familiar platter controller. A touch screen turntable serves as the centerpiece of Australia’s “Contemporary Media Lounge” inside Queensland Art Gallery’s Museum of Modern Art. A joint project of museum multimedia designer Aidan Robertson and Dan Treichel, an interactive designer from post-production company Cutting Edge, the interactive display is built around the Numark HDX deck and an “intuitive” touch screen. Users touch and manipulate a range of filters, reworking and remixing MP3 tracks fueled by the deck. [via thecoolhunter]
