Well judging from the analouge nature of a turntable this is most
definitely true. You actually explained some possible reasons. The
question is whether you can actually hear these. Now from the response
I've been getting from people that usually scratch with real turntables,
they say tX sounds somewhat authentic. Considering how bad the signal is
the mouse actually provides I'd say this is pretty amazing. And since
V3.2 you can modify the cutoff-frequency of the lowpass filter with the
other axis (with the next release you can select between
scratching/volume/cutoff/echo_feedback). Now if you use your mouse for
scratching let's say the x-way and you just do that but still enable the
other axis to do something you get slight (not random) changes for the
other effect. This is of course nowhere near what a real turntable does
but it turns out to sound pretty organic.

Well I could scratch a sine wave with tX for you - but I guess that's
not what you are interested in ;)
I'm really interested in what else a real turntable does aside from
forward/backward-stuff, too. Maybe this could be simulated as well to
make tX sound more realistic.
