Re: Scratch Looper
No, that does sound very cool, and my mind can be changed. To me it's
like this though, I'm not a turntablest and probably will never be one.
I've never scratched with a vinyl album. I think this is akin to
being a piano player vs a keyboardist. I have lot's of piano playing
pals who won't play anything other than a good weighted controller or a
real piano. Since I don't play, inputting notes into some midi device
is fine with a cheap controller. (though I miss the feel of my Ensonic
TS-10 which had a nice heavy feel and cool spongy after-touch)
Anyway, I'd be looking for cheap, portable and easy to use. You forget
as a turntable owner that I'm $400+ dollars away from even having a
turntable that's scratch-worthy... not to mention needing a laptop that
will run Mr. Pinky, Mr. Pinky itself and an audio interface for the
laptop. I can get a stripped down CDJ-700 for $600 at this point, so
that's a lot less. I also think about how I'd use it and how much I'd
use it, and even $600 seems like a lot. I'd love to barrow one for a
while to see if I'd take to it though.
