So I have been working on a patch that would allow a DJ Hero controller to act similarly to an actual turntable. Currently I can do a couple of different functions such as controlling volume, start stop, etc. but I have not been able to figure out how to make an authentic sounding scratch in relation to the movements of the turntable. If anyone knows how to make this type of sound I would appreciate your method.

The patch is attached if necessary for reference or if anyone is interested in it. Sorry if it is messy I have been learning PD as I wrote it, and I am a newbie.

have you seen this tutorial ?

I have and I am using that patch as the basis but I am looking for a different way to create a more authentic sound.

i am working on the same thing, but my dj hero turntable platter comes to rest at 0 rather than at 0.5 like in the tutorial. anybody have any idea what that's about?

I've built a general-purpose scratching patch which can be paired up with controller patches which are specific to a particular controller. If anyone would like to build one for the DJ hero controller, it should be pretty straight-forward. You won't have to implement the scratching part, that's already there. You'll just have to match the controls to appropriate messages in Pure Data. Anyway, it's here: http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-5355-scratching-system if anyone wants to take a stab at it.

Does this patch still exist somewhere? Can anyone re-upload?
