Drum Sequencer with Balls

This design for a tangible rhythm sequencer interface by student Peter Bennett is sleek & innovative.

Ball bearings are used to trigger drum sounds. Visual feedback is displayed from underneath to indicate the current time and the state of each ball bearing.

Each effect has a track on BeatBearing's plastic screen, and by dropping a ball bearing into a hole you activate that track's effect as a scanning light beam encounters it.



If Pete decides to up it to an eight track sequencer, we could have some hip hop checkers action. Coming to a coffee table near you!
