    Default Pretty soon, no more controllers needed

    I found an article on a patent application submitted by apple for a touch screen product. Within the patent, theres a section that discusses the use of the touch screen for operating a "music application" (iDj?) with two virtual turntables... see where this is going?

    So there you go folks, the future of DJ software... no midi controller's needed.

    check out the article:

    ...and just when I thought something like this would be cool on a touch screen tablet PC...seems apple already had that covered too...

    enjoy!

    No, thank you, I like pushing buttons, moving sliders, twisting knobs, and spinning jog wheels!

    Yeah... I mean, tablets can be cool for some things... but I need some tactile response and touch screens just don't give you that. Now, a product that incorporates it all would be awesome. I'd like to draw eq curves with my fingers while controlling an effect
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    Why would I want to use virtual turntables when I never used actual ones and have no plans to?

    Drawing a EQ with your hand would be nice,
    What also would be really friggen handy is to be able use gestures to control filters and stuff to do crazy frequency sweeps easily and with precise control.

    This is just plain weird... :eek:

    I know I would be able to twist that knob through my screen whilst operating.
