DIY DJ Turntable from old Computer Parts

Step 12 How to play

In order to play with it open the TerminatorX. There is a virtual turntable opened by default.

Press Ctrl+A to add a second turntable. Each turntable has as button named Mouse. When you press it you can choose the actions for the X and Y axes. The X ax is by default for scratching

but The Y is set to Lowpass. Put it to Volume.

Drag and drop two audio files on the two virtual turntables. Press the Power button. Now the two audio files will start to play both in the same time.

There is no crossfader between the two turntables, but you can mute one or another any time you want.

Now press the Mouse Grab button.

Attention: in this moment your mouse will no longer act as an usual mouse. All the control is transferred to the terminatorX. To exit the Mouse mode just press Esc.

To scratch, press left mouse button and move it left and right. If you press middle button you will mute the current turntable. With the right button you can jump to the other turntable in order to scratch with that one.

Extra functional buttons are available from the keyboard:

w – mutes the turntable and allows you to navigate fast to any point in the track (needle-drop stile recueing)

f – same as w but without to mute it

m – mute the track while pressed

alt – mute the track with a short press and regain the sound while presed

ctrl – regain sound after alt was presed

tab – next turntable

space – scratch

back space – go to the beginning of the track and stop

return – restart the track

F1-F12 – Turntables 1 to 12

esc – exit mouse mode
