Manipulating music: multimodal interaction for DJs
Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems, 2004•dl.acm.org
In this paper we consider the general goal of supporting physical manipulation of digital
audio in a specific context: the performance disk jockey (DJ) seeking to migrate from vinyl to
digital media. We classify both the DJ's traditional processes and tools and the field's newest
technology. D'Groove, our own technological contribution, is a force feedback turntable used
to manipulate digital audio in novel ways. We present an observational study of professional
DJ's using D'Groove, and discuss this approach's attributes and directions for future …

We present an observational study of professional DJ's using D'Groove, and discuss this approach's attributes and directions for future augmentation. Finally, we extend our conclusions about the DJ's emerging needs to the broader domain of digital audio manipulation.
