He's done a lot more then invent just some "gay" box....
1) Twitter DJ - Updates your twitter feed with whatever track your playing in Traktor. Controversial when it first came out.
2) Kapture for Ableton - An awesome plug in that saves exact perimeters across an entire ableton set and lets them be stored and recalled at any time.
3) CTRL 92 - A modified xone 92 with advanced midi capability, when this type of midi capability in a mixer wasn't the norm.
Anyways, I'm a bit biased so I'll just leave it. But, the intention of that original post wasn't to talk vinyl. Unfortunately, RA decided to post it on their news feed (like they do with any minuscule Hawtin related story) and it got blown out of proportion. |

I actually thought that cube was a pretty decent idea. When you got to a show you could scan a card and get access to download tracks on your phone, or send a message that got displayed on screens around the venue.
God forbid someone try something new. I don't agree with a lot of the things Richie and Minus do nowadays, but at least he actively seeks out new ways to get his message and music across and make it more interactive. I think that deserves kudos. |

interesting idea but not very hard to do, any reputable programmer can write a script that will copy name of the track and copy it into twitter when logged in..
2) Kapture for Ableton - An awesome plug in that saves exact perimeters across an entire ableton set and lets them be stored and recalled at any time.
wasn't this always present in ableton if you play livesets? how else were the sets saved in it before this came around?
3) CTRL 92 - A modified xone 92 with advanced midi capability, when this type of midi capability in a mixer wasn't the norm.
first of all his dad made this, only one copy ever made and he doesn't even use this anymore.. intersting idea but what's the point of this?

For sure its easy, but aren't most good ideas? I think the importance of this isn't how simple the coding is, but that here you have a reputable DJ actively giving away all the tracks in his set on a regular basis., instead of being so hush hush about it.

When you save, you save all the parameters of the set at that one instance. With Kapture you can choose exactly when to capture any parameter, and recall it at any time, in real time. It's been getting a lot of great reviews and people have been finding it really useful. With this and a Max Patch, its also possible to recall sequences that can be used for lighting or video as well, and implement them in real time and in sync.

Well they did a few variations of it, but the point is to try new things, nothing more and nothing less. Using midi in djing wasn't the norm when he asked his dad to make this, now, midi is everywhere.

i think it is relevant, electronic music market is a lot smaller than mainstream market to complete the same type of count, although i'm sure Juno.co.uk can do it if they decide to. Also there are a lot more buyers that buy used records for cheap so it's harder to count new sales but trust me its on the rise as well. |
