| interaction 2000: print's digital design annual  This 
              "MP3 DJ ware" started life as simply a virtual copy of 
              a Technics 1200 turntable. When the MP3 wave hit, Derek Chung added 
              support for downloadable music formats and various DJ features. 
              He also gave the program a more original interface that was inspired 
              not by the "black boxes" of consumer electronics but by 
              furniture and video game consoles. The result is a "more colorful, 
              ergonomic and fun" look with features that would be impossible 
              in a physical hardware piece (e.g. curved sliders)
