DJ Tech Innovations: Fretless Faders

The “fretless fader” is an innovative device that can be moved up and down to adjust the pitch of a MIDI turntable. Though it first appeared in a video from John Beez in 2009, the fader continues to evolve and is now available in various forms.

On this episode of Tips and Tricks, Mojaxx meets up with former DMC World Supremacy Champion Ritchie Ruftone to learn more about the invention and see it in action.

Ritchie Ruftone’s Routine for DMC Online Finals


 
Yesterday, we shared Vekked’s impressive routine for the DMC Online DJ Championship Finals. While we still believe it’s one of the best entries in the round, Ritchie Ruftone’s deserves some shine, too.
 
In terms of selection, the Scottish turntablist’s routine is the most forward-thinking of all the entries. The first four minutes consists primarily of electronic music, with the rest being mostly throwbacks. Of course, Ruftone’s technical skills are also impressive.
 
The winner of the competition will be announced on July 29.
