Sure, it's a neat bit of audio coming out of it, but there seems to be little/no relationship to his hands flailing around the thing, and the obscure set of dots on the display.

Or at least, to me, anyway..
I got nuffin!]]>Jun 30th 2009 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jul 1st 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jun 30th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jun 30th 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jun 30th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/
I'm not bitter though...:)]]>Jun 30th 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jun 30th 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/I have no f***in' clue on how this thing works..

Anyone?

What's all that dots?
The second video was make using only 1 audio loop??

Need a basic tutorial.
BTW seems kinda kewl.

The dots represent the waveform of audio, wrapped around in a circle. The lines are where the beat is divided into 8 stop points, all which you could press on the top to jump to that part in the audio.

The small dot that runs around the outside of the whole circle shows the current position of the loop being played.

The switch on the top flips the playback from forward to backwards.

Buttons on the side cause small sections to loop very quickly.

Very straight forward, and I bet anyone would figure it out after using it for a minute or two.]]>Jun 30th 2009 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jun 30th 2009 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/
I'm not sure about the design either, I think it could have been done much nicer, and be a lot more intuitive. And why the controls on the upper right? It seems like it would be a lot more convenient in the center of the circle or on the bottom center closest to the body.

btw, dBs & mnewmansnow1, your a day late and a dollar short, Joseph L. Flatley already made that wry 'Simon' observation in the body of his copy. that's cool though, reading isn't everybody's thing. ; )]]>Jul 1st 2009 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/Jul 1st 2009 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/otto-slices-beats-has-no-effect-on-tin-cans/
