Abstract
The apparatus is a turntable assembly which includes a rotary turntable platter, a phonographic cartridge, and a tonearm for impinging the phonographic cartridge against a record on the rotary turntable platter. The record includes MIDI timing signals encoded therein. The apparatus further includes an amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter and a signal processing means for amplifying the resulting phonographic signal, converting the phonographic signal into digital format and extracting the timing signal so as to generate an output MIDI timing code for controlling the playback of an external audio signal.
