The company has used its extensive expertise in multi-touch technology to deliver the world's first touch screen DJ controller, the SmithsonMartin KS-1974. "The KS-1974 represents the most advanced multi-touch technology in the world," said Pablo Martin, SmithsonMartin CTO and creator of Emulator. "Until now, the hardware available was not accurate enough for professional use and the iPad is simply too small and underpowered for DJ needs. The SmithsonMartin KS-1974 uses a 22" surface with 4 simultaneous touch points that are pin-point accurate. With Emulator software, you now have the fantastic ability to merge and convert any software interfaces to multi-touch."The world knows Emulator as the large, transparent, "Tron-like" touch screen, but the real power of this product lies in the software. "We realized that you cannot go into any store and buy a decent touch screen so we had to figure out how to provide our customers with a complete system that was both accurate and price conscious," Mr. Smithson continued. "We have gone to great lengths to ensure the KS-1974 will sustain the vigorous use & abuse that travelling DJ's inflict on your gear. With chemically toughened glass and all metal and wood construction, the KS is built to last, much like the old school mixers of the 1970's." The SmithsonMartin KS-1974 comes with all the cables necessary (USB, Power & VGA) and they are all permanently connected to prevent them from coming loose or getting lost.
