So, the record has an actual timecode or square wave or something so that
then as you're manipulating its' speed or scratching and the mp3 player
tries to stay sync'ed to this analog signal (coming in some port). Wow...
could they do this with midi, so you could scratch your own tracks as they
are being sequenced? :-o I think my synths would choke and note-offs
wouldn't work...
