"Scrachy" - scratch-player
concept
I'm not a DJ, but I like music, preferably
different scratches. I even tried it at an old soviet turntable
once.
And once, while strolling up and down with an
MP3-player and twitching the volume up and down, I thought that
it would be so deck to have two little turntables in my pockets.
So you can make scratches while listening to some songs or
radio.
That's how I came to the idea of "Scrachy"
-- comfortable plastic thing 35 x 35 mm. Two buttons: one is for
on/off (with a protuberance for easy groping), another -- to
change the radio-MP3 mode. Independently rotating on 360 degrees
corrugated ring -- volume regulator; and a touch-disc to make
scratches (let it read the pressure level).
Play, stop, next
song -- all mapped to the mode-button. No screens, no LEDs.
Synchronized and recharged through the mini-usb. Audio-jack
for standard phones. Player is comfortably fixed in the hand, yet
you can easily play DJ on the table. One complete set consists of
two turntables as a default.
