If off the shelf isn't for you, but DIY and modular is your thing, the Special Waves Mine controller project has now hit Kickstarter.
We DJs need to look after our hearing. And that's where the Flare Audio Isolate ear plugs come in, offering a more even blocking of sound in noisy places.
Livid's controllers are getting ever smaller. And their new Kickstarter based Minim is the smallest so far. Wireless, 3D, RGB — it's all in there.
Vinyl is cool, but the problem is that it has to be made in large quantities for you to buy just one. But vinyl cutters allow for one-offs to be made, but without deep pockets, the chances of DJ Joe Public buying one are slim. Vestax made the VRX-2000, but appearing on Kickstarter is the DRC aka the Desktop Record Cutter.
Cassettes for scratching? Been there - done that. But it's not been done in quite the same way that Jeremy Bell is proposing with his ScrubBoard Kickstarter project. It's a unique take on the idea involves samples on tape, and moving a cassette player head back and forth, all controlled from the Seesaw Killswitch.
There's modular, and then there's Palette, the component-level build your own controller that's looking for funding on Kickstarter.
