For it to be interesting they'd have to do something beyond just replicating a turntable experience into doing something that you <i>couldn't</i> do on a usual turntable setup. For example, what Squarepusher is to music (tweaked-out DnB that humans can't reproduce live), maybe they could do something like that with this. Otherwise, why reinvent the wheel, ya know? That being said, I'd be happy to be a beta tester :) Yeah, I think it’s cool, but I honestly don’t think vinyl purists (or even hobbyists) would jump on board, and for good reason.
