Project

Needs

  • Stacked concentric discs capable of controlling parameters separately.
  • Simple but effective control parameters
  • Portability
  • Enclosed console

Wants

  • Slim enclosure with nice accents
  • Durable for live performance
  • High resolution performance
  • Different modes
  • Interactions between the different discs

Nice

  • LED signaling
  • Polished housing

Desired Sonic Effect

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.
