Re: kinect dj

i will post when i get home i will post the kinect. i have been working on a few turntable concepts for sometime now. the first few where a bit ugly i must say as was taking a logic approach as opposed to using an analytical or numeric solution.

here was one of my initial explorations.

Re: kinect dj

here is the kinect patch its mix of a bunch of peoples macros from here on kineme. you also need the osculator patch. here is a picture of the preferences needed in traktor. i could export my controller settings from traktor but they would totally mess your settings up so its best to just manually add the scratch on and scratch to a generic midi profile in traktor preferences control manager.

Kinect hacks are also enjoying great popularity in music circles, and not just as an effect on video clips, as a keyboard set, MIDI controllers and air guitar but also as a virtual disc for tractor, which can be used for scratching. See for yourself in the video after the break.
