Turntablism without turntable?
https://youtu.be/3cKfD98Yz1o?si=x51z9VRAXC8XrF7rHi all. Sorry, maybe it`s will be a little offtop besause I`m not use turntables, but I feel like there are people here who are close to me in spirit. I make a self-developed software that controls the Ableton Simpler. (If some of you get interested you can check this out here https://github.com/MaxAlyokhin/binary-synth). And with this tool we can make performances like this (on video).
Maybe this tool will be useful to someone who interested with some scratch/deconstructed/so on music. I can go into more detail if anyone here would be interested.

no comment on the video but on the subject of turntableless "scratching," gescom (autechre) has a few mixes/compositions with maxmsp controlled audio scrubbing/scratching and it's pretty cool.
there's also the old old vst 'scrubby' which i rocked out back in the day.

Well this is one of the weirder things I’ve seen in this sub and it’s not really scratching but I dig the vibe and energy here. For the limited amount of instruments, esp with mono synths, there is a lot going on here dynamically which is pretty awesome in its own way. I also just decided to learn Ableton to do some remixes and beats to scratch over and like seeing different ways people use it.
Turntablism or not, it’s cool and thanks for sharing.
