<p>The hybrid turntable (10) is capable of playing both digital media (22) and vinyl record discs (17). A turntable (10) includes a motorized platter (14) and an independently rotating spindle (18). The rotation of the platter (14) and spindle (18) is independently rotatable. An interface control disc (16) is connectable to the spindle (18) to controllable rotate it. An adapter (31) may be used to facilitate connection of the interface control disc (16) to the spindle (18). The rotational position of the platter (14) and the spindle (18) is used for processing digital media to provide a digital audio output signal to generate a digitally simulated scratch type musical performance. Alternatively, a vinyl record disc (17) can be positioned on the platter (14) and about the spindle (18) without connecting directly to the spindle (18). A tone arm is also be provided to communicate with the vinyl record disc (17) to provide an analog phono audio output signal. An analog actual scratch type performance or normal phonographic playback is possible using the tone arm (23) and vinyl record disc (17). A digital audio output signal and analog phono audio output can be selectively played back using the same turntable (10).</p> |
