Xtra Feature: pinky pitch ?

i'm working hard on turntablism and mixing as well. i wanna submit a new feature idea that will take both of Ms Pinky's uses to the next level.



musical Facts (correct me if i'm wrong) :



- an octave is twelve semi-tones, it's also an 100% increase/decrease of the frenquency between two octaves.

exemple :

C2 > 220Hz

C3 > 440Hz

C4 > 880Hz

- the gap between each semitone is an increase of 100/12=8.33333%

- you con only do 6 notes with a standard technics turntable:

-8 > 0 > +8 at 33rpm and 45rpm.



My Proposition :

Is it possible to have a new mode in Ms Pinky where we can set a multiplicator to the real pitch (on the TT), so the played file will be super pitched.



for exemple from a turntablist point of vue, if i wanna have a semi-tone increase every 1% of increase on my turntable's pitch, i have to multiplicate the pitch variations by 8.333333%.



A less extreme application could be to be able to pitch records from -50% to +50% (or +100% / -100%) with a standard sl1200's sets.





Do everybody understand what i mean ?



What do you think of it ?

sounds good!!



i guess this is really taking digital vinyl a step forward then conventional records. why not use the advantages of the digital domain?



let's hear what ower main programmer has to say about this (is this possible at all?).
