Dynamic Interface – While this could be done with a non-touch interface, a dynamic touch surface that changes depending on environmental conditions is a big improvement over static control surfaces.The drag-and-drop loading action presented in the video looks very natural. It works better than a mouse and we are very used to the work flow. Browsing – Searching and loading tracks is very natural via a touch interface.Rotary Knobs – Unfortunately, touch surfaces are just not very good at knob emulation and certainly don’t improve on the physical alternative.Waveform Interface – Unless it takes advantage of gestures a mouse may be more precise than the finger tip when skipping through a visual waveform.Not only are they awkward to use and very low resolution but trying to do fast DJ throws is very difficult. Low Res Faders – Divide the length of the virtual fader by the width of your finger tip and calculate the effective resolution of a touch fader.Loop Buttons – Multiple loop buttons for each value take up more space than a more effective encoder and they are easy to accidentally trigger.When evaluated under those conditions (see the video above), the user interface starts to have some difficulties.

Unfortunately, a touch-screen laptop is the only way to use this concept today if you want a portable solution. In the first video, everything seems incredibly usable on a 60″ transparent touch surface. Once touch surfaces become more prevalent then the entire idea will become very cost-effective. That’s not to say that this concept does not have potential – it does.

You could, alternatively, purchase a mid-range Traktor LE controller like the Typhoon and a Traktor Pro upgrade for under $400. In this case the touch aspect does not add much functionality to the Traktor UI but it does turn a low-cost touch-screen laptop into an all-in-one DJ solution that could offer a glimpse into the future.Īssuming you don’t have a touch-screen computer, an Emulator system will cost around $500-800: I like that the browser disappears and becomes a controller interface during playback, making a tiny 15″ screen much more workable. Re-engineering Traktor into a touch-screen interface is an exciting concept that was created by Pablo Martin, creator of MonoTouchLive. Even though Gizmodo seems to think so, are these latest videos really that amazing? After the jump, we will share the videos in question, talk to some creators and evaluate what the latest buzz in DJing really has to offer. It’s safe to say that the DJ world is fired up about DJing with touch interfaces and chomping at the bit for something mind-blowing. Audio Architecture.First came the insane press attention for the iPad DJ and now we have two more touch-screen DJ concepts making serious waves in the blog-sphere.
