without the hardware, how does the analog turntable signal become digital? and honestly- FS was made by some creative freaks from Amsterdam who spent years working with underground DJs to develope the system. I don't find the fact that they then sold the fruit of their labor to a manufacturer a loss of cred. I find it sad that others then bit off their idea, tweeked it out a bit and are now trying to push their 'underground' status as a selling point.
i know you're kinda joking, but its a valid point.
