    Abstract: An audio signal manipulator system for manually manipulating digital audio signals to simulate the audio sounds emitted when a user mixes vinyl records. The audio signal manipulator system includes a console for storing and manipulating a digital signal input received from a multimedia input apparatus. A manipulating assembly comprising a stand and an effects disk mountable to a phonograph, and a transducer is provided for manually manipulating media currently playing in the console. The transducer is preferably mounted on the stand for selectively engaging the effects disk such that it reads a rotational direction and a rotational speed of the effects disk. In one embodiment of the present invention, manual movement of the effects digitally manipulates the media stored in the console.
