Idea
Our controller will consist of stacked concentric disks acting as rotational controllers.
Sketches
Examples of Similar Works
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.
