Not sure how to explain this but here it goes. Is there a midi turntable out that will allow you to go midi into the mpc and scratch wav samples? i have a denon cd turntable and a vestax vinyl one but sometimes i just have the mpc and dont want to have to burn a cd to use a sample or such? Just wondering also they might have to implement this in the os as just a screen showing the wav ( like serato scratch ) and you could see the midi controller moving along with the wav. I have never seen a midi controller just used for scratching besides that hercules toy like thing. Any ideas or suggestion? Besides the obivious of scratching it out live with other gear.

A really good example would be the yamaha djx groove box which had that little cd platter that scratched on it. Only not so big. Damn that djx was a fun groovebox though.

try a kaoss pad 2, it has an effect with wich you can slow down a sample and then let it go again backwards... it´s not really scratcing but it is fun.
other than that i think you can use the djx as a midicontroller but i don´t think that the mpc is able to change sample playback direction in realtime.

try to use the search function - i think someone in the 1k forum had a topic on scratching inside the mpc.

how do you like your denon cd player (which one by the way 1k, 3.5k or a 5k?), did you ever experience skiping while scratching extreemly fast?

peace jo
