Can't do that with buttons though!
I'm loving how close turntablism and controlerism are getting right now.

Very good point. I agree to some extent, but controllerism and Turntableism are the same thing like apples and oranges are both fruit.
I think of turntableism like people playing the same instrument. Everyone learns the same notes, scales, etc and the instrument is basically the same. So it is easy to distinguish the great artists from the mediocre. With Controllerism, everyone is using different instruments/controllers, software, etc. So there are no standard moves like baby scratch, crabs, etc.
I think Ean and Edison and others have done some impressive routines, but I really can't compare them to DMC style routines, because they are 2 different things. Which doesn't mean one takes any less skill or practice than the other. It's just easier IMO to understand the skill involved in a DMC routine, because it is easier to see the physical movement and understand what it is doing to the sound you are hearing.

Still, just because he's using the TTM-57 doesn't mean he's using serato. I'm using a traktor interface but I'm not using traktor! :)
Fellas -- I know the guy. He's using SSL on his TTM-57.
Also the controls he used on the TTM-57 were SSL standard 57 features.
comparing scratching to button-mashing is like comparing a fretless string player to a fretted player.
