July 13, 2009 – It was only a matter of time before someone turned the Microsoft Surface, with its huge multi-touch surface, into a music controller. Vectorform, developers of the SurfaceDJ for the iPhone, ported the app over to the biggest “consumer” touch surface available. The gist of the program is that synced loops can be dragged onto a spinning record, and then you can “scratch” along. As you bring the loops, which are represented by little icons, into the record, the closer they are to the centre, the louder they are. Essentially, this allows a user to fade in each loop. In the embedded video below, you can see the “scratching”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the scratching affects the samples, but rather just makes a scratch sound on top of it all. Do any of you have the iPhone app to compare the Microsoft Surface version to?
