Pitch Shifter, a fader cap replacement for your turntable’s pitch fader that lets you mount a crossfader onto it, has just been released by DJ Woody. It lets you perform crossfader cuts while moving the turntable pitch fader up and down for, all using just one hand. This opens up more possibilities for creative toneplay and melodic scratching.
It fits most turntables including Technics, Vestax, and Stanton decks, and compatible crossfaders include the Raiden and Frisk portable crossfaders.
We love the ingenuity of this device, especially since it’s simple to install and within reach of all DJs looking to get into more advanced scratching. The ability to easily introduce pitch changes to a sample that you’re scratching with allows you to explore melodic options in your routine, or even in your usual DJ sets.
