TurnTableSaw

TurnTableSaw is a digital DJ scratching instrument for the modern music producer. With a bank of 8 multi-envelope, highly customizable pattern slots and 4 editable sampler slots, you can finally create your own skratches from scratch.

At your disposal:

• The TurnTableSaw, a fearsome machine that leverages samples and patterns to create sick, twisted noises. Patterns consist of a saw envelope and a fader envelope, which control sample playback and volume respectively. These patterns can be synced to host BPM, adjusted to any length, and contain limitless nodes... the possibilities frighten me.
• Robust envelope editor—drag and group nodes, resize, duplicate, and change their corner softness, use subdivision snapping, and even group-select nodes across both envelopes for precise edits.
• 'Pencil' tool for quickly creating envelope plateaus—great for fader cuts.
• 'Drop' tool for making perfect drop scratches—highlight a section of the saw envelope to create a line segment that plays the selected sample at 100% rate, regardless of current BPM, sync mode, and sample length.
• Sample editor—you can simply load in a file from your system or a preset, then dial in the crop points to isolate the perfect sound.
• 'Release' parameter for more realistic live performances—adjust the Release time to change how long the saw record takes to return to the origin after note-off, making live scratching sound fluid and more similar to real-life scratching.
• 'Momentum' wheels—each envelope has its own adjustable momentum wheel, which smooths out angular cuts and corners to create a looser feel at higher values, lending a more human feel.
• System for loading and saving patterns, samples, and whole presets separately from one another.
• Factory presets of classic scratch patterns & samples, as well as some weeeiiiird stuff.
• A cool looking interface that will motivate you to make some cool music.
