well i don't know the exact specs for serato, but for traktor scratch it's basically a 2khz sine wave on both channels, with a 90° shift on one of them. i don't know how they encode the position though, i suppose it's a kind of amplitude manipulation on both channels. if you listen to it, it sounds kind of like the sound oldschool dialup modems used to produce.
serato uses 1khz or maybe 1.2khz carrier signal.
the "old" finalscratch used a 1khz carrier and changed the amplitude on one of the two channels to encode its position.
it's fun to swap the vinyls of the systems finalscratch vinyls on traktor scratch lead to -50% playback, and +100% vice versa

dj_macgyver, you've got me super-jealous with that pmc-50a! That thing looks sick! |
yeah it's a nice mixer, but this one is not in the best condition unfortunately. it's working, but the faders aren't moving very smooth, and one of them is actually broken (missing the right channel when moved to the very top). the knobs for the gains are also pretty much done...
it's been in heavy club use (in a local club that doesn't exist any more - the name of the club is hand-carved into the surface...) and was very dirty when i got it. i've already cleaned it internally and on the surface, but i will still have to replace some parts before it's completely back to it's best form...
the advantage though is that i got it in exchange for a little favor from some buddies of mine, didn't cost a penny
