Reply to Touchstrip LED Pitch Fader

Many years ago, as a little bitty bedroom dj, I got my first taste of using hot cues when I bought a technics sl-dz1200, and soon after discovered midi; resulting in awesome visions of how gear could be...

Finally, hardware manufacturers are closing the gaps between dreams and reality... analog and digital... turntablism and controllerism.

But one thing that bugs me about decks that toggle between controlling 2 songs is that the pitch fader stays where you put it while setting song A's bpm when you toggle to song B. One workaround for this would be motorized faders, right? Yeah, maybe not...

What if we could use something like the NS7's Stripsearch or Twitch's touchstrip as pitch fader?? With the LED's under neath the touch sensitive strip, song A's pitch "fader" position will be remembered when toggled to song B and back.

Anyone with an iphone can tell you that a touchscreen isnt always capable of pinpoint action... but what if there was an encoder knob on the side of the touch strip? This would let you fine tune the tempo to your hearts most precise desire!
