May 27 2008Touchscreen Turntables Require No Records
Let's face it: records are round and made of vinyl. The ATTIGO: TT is the brainchild of Dundee University student Scott Hobbs and is basically two digital turntables (with waveforms displayed) that allows DJ's to "loop, sample and scratch wave forms just as you would a record." Scott is currently looking for manufacturers interested in producing the ATTIGO, and I'm currently looking for a new girlfriend interested in producing beautiful music. But just with me -- not my roommate and the Fed-Ex guy while I'm busy mowing the yard. I HATE YOU JANET! YOU'RE LOOSE AND NOW EVERYONE ON GEEKOLOGIE KNOWS IT.
UPDATE: YOU DIRTY STRUMPET!
UPDATE: Okay, we're back together. But I'm leaving this up because I know she's gonna end up banging the dude that works the aquarium section at the local pet store. I've seen the way they flirt around the cichlids.
UPDATE: Wow, the reptile guy too. Didn't see that coming. Nice touch you skank.
A worthwhile VIDEO of the unit in action after the jump.

Cool idea the problem is my retarded cousin could make better music than that and that's saying a lot since I don't even have a retarded cousin.

This is even lamer than real djing. But at least it saves innocent vinyl from pointless destruction.

That DJ sucks hard balls... Any retard can match beats, it takes a decent DJ to make it actually sounds good.

The commenters are complete idiots. Who said he was any good? He's just demonstrating how the product works and looks in motion.
And real DJ's spin vinyl because they had vinyl before anything else. If this were made before records and this post was about some new DJ set with "records that spin" everyone would say real DJ's touch screens.

#9: well said
Also, hasn't anyone heard of the laser-vinyl players instead of a needle? Yeah, they've been out for a while, and they don't actually scratch the vinyl, but sound wicked cool.

Can a girl who whores around with the Petco reptile manager be considered a skink instead of a skank? HAHA lizard jokes!
