The higher the frequency, the better?

Tc frequency is beyond human control. If I remember right Cross uses 3000hertz.

There are actually two signals used in a DVS system.

One is a constant signal that identifies pitch and what most people think of in terms of the frequency.

Most all DVS use a signal between 1Khz and 3Khz, with the most common being 1.2KHz or 1.3KHz.

In most cases, the signal difference is a matter of semantics and diminishing returns as the signal just needs to provide an accurate signal back to the software to determine playback speed.

At 1KHz, an 8% change is 1080hz, and at 3KHz 8% up is 3240Hz. It provides a small increase in granularity, but that difference isn't noticeable by anyone that I know of. It's more likely going to show problems in system latency or other areas before they'll notice any difference in the frequency of the timecode.

And here's a document written by Chad Carrier explaining how a DVS works. He was the product manager for Torq and now works for Native Instruments, but let's not hold that against him - the document is still pretty good. ;)

According to this link, Mixvibes uses 1.3kHz.

For scratch, the better is between 1000 and 1500hz
Higher frequencies will not be able to manage a high speed movement (> 5 times) as a vinyl analog signal is limited (< 10 000hz)

mixvibes DVS frequency is 1300Hz

I think that the NI vinyl frequency (2000hz) is too high

Why QBert not test Cross ?
