Hi everybody!
A little while ago I posted some info on the Vestax ControllerOne. Apparently J-Zar confused it with the Opus Labs Freq factory, which I agree is a total piece of #$@!.
This is my understanding
The ControllerOne is a turntable which will send and receive midi notes. It automatically changes the speed that the platter spins to change the pitch of the record and play it in the key of the midi piano not that it receives. So, for example, you could have Beethoven's ninth symphony in a midi file and scratch it using a single sample! It's really hard to explain, you just have to see it for yourself. I beleive it also sends midi, which means it could mean a final/serato scratch-like solution for us linux folks (finally!). Whatever the case is the thing costs freakin $2500 so it's a nitch market for sure, but it's nice to see someone actually pushing the envelope and incorporating sequencing into turntablism.
