The DJ Turntable is the primary instrument used in DJ Hero and DJ Hero 2, and are bundled with these games. All songs in these two games are compatible with this instrument.
Functions
It has three buttons (green, red, and blue) on its rotatable phonograph record. The buttons have been designed to hold the players fingers while they use the turntable. The way it works is there are ripples in the button that dip inward so your fingers are held in place.
During gameplay, there will be three streams of curved lines going across the on-screen phonograph record highway and there are different types of hit icons. When an up-scratch note is approaching, press down the corresponding colored button while rotating the phonograph record slightly upward/clockwise. Likewise, when a down-scratch note is approaching, press down the corresponding button while rotating the phonograph record slightly downward/counterclockwise.
