Aaron,

Not trying to bust on your efforts (nice widget you've come up with, 
BTW), but in the interest of accuracy I wanted to point out that 
Musolomo -- a Mac-only freeware Looper from Plasq -- has also had a 
turntable scratch function since its initial release a few years ago.

Musolomo's not being updated any further and it's quirky as hell, but 
there are a few unique features there.  With the scratch function, 
you can assign a midi controller to the on-screen turntable and play 
the loop forward and backward (not to mention back-and-forth, 
"scratching" it).

And, IIRC, wasn't there also one of the Max-based Loopers -- like the 
(now-defunct) Girl, or Cycling 74's Radial -- with which you could do 
turntable-style scratching?  I could be misremembering that, though. 
:P
