[QUOTE="Spektral, post: 931760, member: 49767"] The difference between the analogue and the digital pitch is that the analogue is a traditional potentiometer, which is basically an electrical contact track that is infinitely adjustable with what is probably every micron or so of movement as the current, so to speak, provides that extra or decreased juice to the speed with more or less of a charge as the slider moves along the contact track. As I understand it, the digital one is relaying a different form of information to the motor and the kind of "pulses" it sends are not as precise as the old potentiometer. This slight error, where the slider position may have to be moved a fraction more to send a signal that the speed should increase/decrease is where the problem seemed to come from for longer mixes - because if "Deck A" is pushing along at one end of the error spectrum and "Deck B" is pushing along at the other end of the error spectrum, over time, those decks will run out of sequence. Both decks would need to be sat in the "middle" of this error range to get perfect timing that you could leave for many minutes without having to manipulate the turntable platters to nudge or nip to keep the timing in sync. I believe that Technics improved this technology to help reduce the distance between the "pulse signals" (so to speak), thereby making them more accurate when used as a pair of decks. I don't personally know how bad some of the other decks were - but I trusted Just Technics on this matter as he was also a DJ who mixed progressive and trance, where the mixes are often longer than oldskool, breaks and other genres. This was important to me, because I love to try and create smooth mixes where the incoming record literally morphs into the playing track so much in the background that it almost becomes part of the actual track and the slow fade out to the incoming track can sometimes happen and you don't even realise that the first track has ended. Oldskool is a bit different, because it isn't so much about the smoothness and transitions, but the cleverness of the combinations and the vibe it can bring. [/QUOTE]
