I really love the idea of this. I have to ask though.. are you planning on adding any new features?
Some things I think would be great are
Pitch increment notches - to tell where we are.
A more realistic Push/Pull to help with beatmatching.
User setable cue points. "stickers"
and last but not least a feature to import an image for the records label

I can't announce any new features just yet though.
Thanks for the feature suggestions - I've made a note of them. Let us know if you have anything else you'd like to see in future versions.
I think the site is clean, tasteful, and crisp; and from my research on your other products it looks as though you create a fine product.
So.. with that in mind I have another request and what might be some ideas about how to push and pull..
The first just being the feature. Some sort of stroboscope visualization would be very cool looking. maybe along the right side running vertically.
Which brings me to the next thing. thoughts about the push and pull. The way in which the press of the touch display handles scratching is very good. acts just like one would grab a record. So with that in mind I'm thinking a light swipe forward or backward might be the way to do the actions for the push/pull given that even for a very large beatmatching adjustment the velocity difference would be drastically different between a scratch (and the pressure involved) and a push. I hope that seemed clear.. Also with a strobo strip on the right side you might just place the push/pull zone over the strobo. Which might ease the coding needed for the difference, while also giving an area users might naturally think of as the beatmatching control rather than the scratch control.

I think the stoboscope idea is interesting. I will have a think about that - and how it might fit in to the ideas I currently have planned for Tonetable.
I agree that the push/pull could operate differently. Do you think you would still want the + and - buttons if you had push/pull on the platter/record surface? We could turn this area into a "modifier" button that toggles between scratching and push/pull.
I did a test using my m-audio connectiv and the latest version of deckadance and I must say.. It worked brilliantly. Cleanest most consistent tracking signal I've ever gotten. Of course given what it is.. the pure digital tone, thats not surprising. Thanks for the awesome first version.
if i may throw in my 2 cents, the scratch wheel is still not fast enough to execute accurate scratching, i can pretty much only scratch at half speed with it now at 1.1
also, maybe enable zoom on the scratch wheel similar to the re>cords app. it would be fun and might help djs who want to scratch get a better feel.
cue buttons would be nice, but i understand that may require bluetooth or wiifi..
well hope to see more improvements on tonetable soon and thank you for a great app!

Single finger = push pull
Two or more fingers = scratch
My two cents
