Disky : a DIY Rotational Interface with Inherent Dynamics

Karl Yerkes, Greg Shear, and Matthew Wright

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

Disky is a computer hard drive re-purposed into a do-it-yourself USB turntable controller that offers high resolution and low latency for controlling parameters of multimedia performance software. Disky is a response to the challenge “re-purpose something that is often discarded and share it with the do-it-yourself community to promote reuse!”
