I like the reaction. I call it Artistry to make something that goes beyond the original implement. So in the case of a "scratch macro", using it to do something beyond just the scratching sound it was intended for. I don't know what... but I'll make an analogy.
Back in the mid 80s, someone thought that the squelch of the cutoff frequency and extra resonance on the TB-303 sounded cool - even though the original sound was intended to be a bassline. That cool sound launched an entire genre (acid house, for those who don't know) and inspired many others. THAT is what I meant by Artistry.
I only hope that the "scratching macro" inspires something. I am somewhat sceptical, but if only a new generation of turntablists emerge, that would be cool too.
