Use your computer monitor as a controller! Posted on: 09.12.2009 by Princess Creaven Use your computer monitor as controller! .... Well sort of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4S0JNBtPdw At least for us bedroom dj's, you can get rid of that nasty keyboard/mouse for some features not covered by the VCI... The responsetime would probably be to louse for beatmatching of any sort, but for the rest it would be relly cool. There have been many small touch-screens to this date but they are not very usable... and not multi touch... So you could slide the crossfader and at the same time disabling an effect. Well imagine the possibilities =)... And it's not that expensive... http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-1172 http://www.techbargains.com/news_dis...fm/187693?r1=1 Now just waiting for a customized version, "Traktor Pro Touch" haha.

Shirlee Depiazza 11.12.2009	Originally Posted by MixiM Hum, i believe that osx has all the fundamental buildingstones for it to work right already implemented... But may not be set up for multitouch features other than gestures? In win 7 every finger creates a new "mouse pointer". One finger scroll would not be working because it would record your finger as a ordinary mouse... We won't know until somebody have tested =)... But it will all be standard features comming with some update i'm sure. I believe your missing my point... The multiple mousepointers/fingers thing isn't OS dependent it's software dependent. If you start up Traktor now on the above pc and press two different places at once it wouldn't work as traktor isn't designed/programed to understand multiple mouse pointers/inputs at the moment. Of course you could work around this using a program that can and then sends midi messengers. But still it basically doesn't matter what OS your running you still need a way of sending multiple messages to the software you want to control and the software being able to cope with it. edit: is messenger spelt wrong? I'm having a complete brain fart on it right now and it just doesn't look right
Princess Creaven 11.12.2009	Originally Posted by Remote I believe OSX would handle multi-touch just fine right now. What's there for it to add? apart from being able to drag multiple point at the same time (select two files with different fingers). Most of it would be making Traktor or whatever your using accept multiple touches. Hum, i believe that osx has all the fundamental buildingstones for it to work right already implemented...

Princess Creaven 11.12.2009	Now I understand what you're saying =) Somehow i believe that Traktor is designed to manage simultaneous input and manipulation since it already can do it via a midi signal, it shouldn't be any different in the programmed loops. And with that, could maybe manage multiple manipulations via a touch screen, even without a "midi workaround". But, it's an endless discussion and speculation exchange haha. We won't know for sure until somone buys this screen and tries it in traktor =) Both on Win7 and OSX. What are you all waiting for? :P Have a good one // Jocke from Sweden
