DJ On the Go With This Tech That Transforms Your iPhone Into a Turntable
Go DJ—literally.
A new device prototype out of the Yamaha Design Lab is intended to transform music played from your phone into a vinyl record experience. Dubbed the TurnT, it's part of a line of proposed music accessories meant to bring tactility back into being on aux.
The TurnT looks like a record player and works in tandem with a smartphone app to transform its screen into a "magic record," according to Yamaha. The stylus acts as a play button for music selected on the phone.
There's also the Winder, meant to replicate windup music boxes; the MusicLight, which syncs music to the flicker of a flame; and the RhythmBot, a set of four robotic percussion instruments that play along to rhythms around them.
