Novalia: Although usually the old one technology ends up in the dustbin of history, there are times when it pleasantly surprises us by making a grand comeback. The reason for vinyl records, which it seems, never disappeared, or at least continue to inspire new manufacturers in an age full of digital sound.
A company from Cambridge UK, the Novalia, that we had have previously been involved, has produced a MIDI DJ Deck printed on the artist's album Extraterrestria DJ Qbert. The album cover, ie "disc βινυλίου” διαθέτει ένα Bluetooth and a conductive ink print that makes it capable of controlling application Algoriddim's djay running on iOS and OS X.
Your printed paper after connecting to the application allows you to upload songs, mix them, create various sound effects and scratches, and generally become a dj with the touch of your fingers. It has two decks printed, a cross fader and a series of buttons for effects.
For several years, the company has developed a technology that combines conductive printing ink with touch capabilities to create surfaces that act as sensors.
See below the related presentation video of the printed dj deck.
