Hi,
Thread: DJ turntable platter physics simulation: Link sound pitch to platter rotation speed ?
Of course I could use vinyl timecode but I only have one turntable at the moment and anyway I think the concept is cool.
But
WHY you may ask ?
So, in answer, know this. DJ Turntable's connect the physics of a rotating disc to the sound. They are really very close to a potter's wheel - the oldest type of
lathe - but here it's the sound that is the clay.
SO fundamental and yet I've never seen a SINGLE software DJ mixer that follows through on the concept !
I've tried plenty of plugins and FX (yes & Tapestop) that fake the effect of Turntabalism. I guess the best example of this is playing a record on a turntable and then turning it off while the sound still plays out. I've found nothing that can reproduce that in software and I began to wonder why. Until I found the missing ingredient. PHYSICS. Hence the use of Blender Game Engine for my experiment/prototype. That was a success. To my ears any way, it's the closest I've heard to a turntable effect.
But I'm no Python coder, although I can just about do basic stuff. Blender is also not a DAW so the integration into other sound technology is limited. I tried a few search terms in ReaPack but there seems to be nothing out there. So unless I can come up with something myself, or there's something out there I missed, OR someone is inspired to write something themselves, then I might have to continue with Blender.
