Final Product // ATTIGO TT from Scott Hobbs on Vimeo.
Live DJ-ing takes a step further into the 21st Century with this invention which lets DJ’s view, cut, grab, loop and mix tracks by doing live waveform editing on a twin touchscreen “turntable.” Invented by UK student Scott Hobbs as part of his innovative product design course, ATTIGO is about the same size as a conventional deck set-up, but has all the flexibility of digital track storage: choosing new tracks without all that swapping of vinyl. Check out the video to see it in action.
The digital basis of the system could allow for some pretty interesting new sounds at the hands of an expert DJ, even as it waves bye-bye to the tactile feedback that you get from the old-fashioned technique, moving a record under a needle.
It exists as a single working prototype for now, but Scott is going to try and commercialize it.
