Music 250a | Fall 2013

Idea

Our controller will consist of stacked concentric disks acting as rotational controllers.

(Current) Design

Using a combination of rotary encoders, gears, and flanged bearings, we will create a stacked concentric disc design. The encoders will be off-center and rotated via gears rather than directly under the spinning point of the discs.

Elevator Pitch

We are designing a user-friendly set of nested turntables that allows a user to use different modes to effect live sound just by spinning the various turntables in different directions at varying speeds. Modes can include playing with tone, tempo and pitch of an instrument, mixing live or pre-recorded music or just making sounds. The controller will be very approachable and so simple that a 5-year-old could walk up to it and use it immediately.
