The Vestax QFO project started from a suggestion by Q-BERT, asking for a new instrument for the turntablists of the next generation. To let them mix and scratch like playing a guitar and to spread out the fun to kids.The process of making a new instrument is a simple repeat of creation and destruction. Handmade proto types were made in 4 generations up to No.8, and with Q-BERT testing it for a year and a half, while checking the best position for each knob and feature. Tests for the 180 degrees pitch control, dynamic straight-arm, cross fader were run over and over. When all the problems were solved, the birth of QFO.
