basically not, dubplate means that a softer kind of pvc is used so you
you don't need the high quality

in my case there is no box, just 2 standard turntables and dubplates
with a sawtooth wave @440hz (ok so there's no queuing via the record,
but that's relatively easy to solve, just didn't have the time to get
that finished for the project)
the soundin of the computer receives the two signals from the record
player, a pd patch then analyses frequency and direction and sends this
data on to - and here comes the good thing - wherever you want, you
could use this (I did at least) to synchronice sequencer clocks, regular
audio files or video or ehatever you can come up with ... I heavily doubt
that you can do this with stantons product and I guess that I'm not using
patented technology here because it's more general purpose (+ I'm in the EU
anyway, so I can use it for a few years)
if you have two stereo outs + you don't mind queueing using a mouse it's
pretty much like djing (with ladspa - hey - you're in pd's signal path)
+ it works on any linux box (I demonstrated it on a celeron 433 w 128
megs of ram that was lying around unused in the office)
