4.1 Motorized Platters

The 7-inch motorized platters simulate the feel of traditional vinyl turntables. They accelerate from 0 to 33⅓ RPM in a tenth of a second. You can manipulate the playback by touching the vinyl record's label or the ring around the platter to slow down or speed up tracks. Pausing and playing can be achieved by placing or removing your fingers from the vinyl record.
