DJ Rasteri's homemade Scratch Controller
DJ Rasteri's homemade Scratch Controller Posted on: 02.07.2008 by robert chanda A homemade scratch controller.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2j5OoIu5kw Home WIKI page: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/scratchcontroller Pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rasteri/Scratchtroller The rotary controller is just a black& white pattern printed out onto a transparent acetate sheet and stuck to the rim of the scratch disk. This pattern is read by two infrared LED/Sensor pairs (positioned by hand and stuck down with Duct tape!) to generate the quadrature signal. The top of the scratch wheel is aluminium foil used as a capacitive touch sensor, and it's mounted on the spindle of an old floppy drive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNtCZN97R3I The single most expensive part was the optical crossfader. Great results! | |
