Skillzie hacked together a portable turntable and Guitar Hero controller. His invention is called the Scratch Blaster. Based on the video demo, it looks like, well, a blast!

Neat... but its more like a DIY Beatmania controller

I remember seeing it at a bowling alley in LA in 2002 ( Hollywood, Silverlake, or Echo Park... I can't remember). It was guitar hero, but with turntables, and before guitar hero.

Well now at least it really looks like he's playing other people's music and calling himself a musician.

Gpl-licenced terminatorx application springs to mind. It's a 'realtime audio synthesizer that allows you to "scratch" on digitally sampled audio data'

You can just use your mouse to scratch, but some people have tuned turntables into mouse devices to be used with it: http://terminatorx.org/turntable.html
