Protocol brief:

How to play it?

Just pick the knobs from the stand and attach them to the synthesisers. You may explore on the sound and noise generated while finding knobs designs that is fun to enjoy.

The protocol here is an exploration on the form 3D printing. require one to take the knob and then use it on the synthesiser. The shapes of the knobs were from pure imagination existing designs the idea is to find interesting forms and possibility within the discourse of the knob.

These exploration on form may be affected by tradition and ergonomics. However, the major goal of the protocol is about the experimentation of technology. The following linkages are topics strongly related.

怎麼玩呢？

只需從支架上挑選旋鈕，然後將其連接到合成器即可。在尋找有趣的旋鈕設計時，您可能會探究產生的聲音和噪音。

此處的協定是對3D打印的探索。需要一個旋鈕，然後在合成器上使用它。旋鈕的形狀來自純粹的想像，現有設計的想法是在旋鈕的話語中找到有趣的形式和可能性。這些形式上的探索可能會受到傳統和人體工程學的影響。但是，該協議的主要目標是關於技術的實驗。以下鏈接是密切相關的主題。

Protocol linkage1 : 3D printing and its methods

3-D printing is one of the experimental area of this protocol. I've been working with 3-D printing since four years ago as being a practice of the product design process through the education of design and technology.

The use of CAD program and 3D printing has a strong potential in creating DIY interfaces and experimental synthesiser. With Ezekiel as a protocol, each of the 3D print knob takes around 20 to 30 minutes for printing, which is a reasonable speed . For the process of making trial and error based objects, the process of CAD design actually takes more time than the printing . However, once the 3D model is prepared, forms can be replicated . The printing technology allows application and fabrication to be smooth.

The file created in this particular project are based on the Onshape website . The use of the Onshape website allow me to publish the design to the public and share them with web link. People who are interested in further developing these shapes and forms can download the files easily online. Of course, there are different types of softwarethat could be used during experimental process . For examples on a Windows PC ,there’s already been a buil- in 3-D builder. Besides the Onshape web tool , I’ve been working with fusion 360 by AutoCAD , also Blender. The possibilities of designing 3D knob model of our own is limited to any related experience of using the hardware of 3D printer and the software of the CAD

in this particular project , I also experimented with the printer which is an open hardware design. It allowed modification that can benefit for the future prototyping process.

協定鏈接1：3D打印及其方法

3-D打印是該協議的實驗領域之一。從四年前開始，我就一直從事3-D打印工作，通過設計和技術教育來實踐產品設計過程。

CAD程序和3D打印的使用在創建DIY界面和實驗合成器方面具有強大的潛力。以Ezekiel作為協議，每個3D打印旋鈕大約需要20到30分鐘才能完成打印，這是一個合理的速度。對於製作基於反複試驗的對象的過程，CAD設計過程實際上比打印花費更多時間。但是，一旦準備好3D模型，就可以復製表格。印刷技術使應用和製造變得順暢。

在此特定項目中創建的文件基於Onshape網站。通過使用Onshape網站，我可以將設計發布給公眾並通過Web鏈接進行共享。有興趣進一步開發這些形狀和形式的人可以輕鬆地在線下載文件。當然，在實驗過程中可以使用不同類型的軟件。例如，在Windows PC上，已經有一個內置的3-D構建器。除了Onshape網絡工具外，我還使用了AutoCAD和Blender的Fusion 360。我們自己設計3D旋鈕模型的可能性僅限於使用3D打印機的硬件和CAD軟件的任何相關經驗 在這個特定項目中，我還嘗試了一種開放式硬件設計的打印機。它允許進行修改，從而可以為將來的原型製作過程帶來好處。

Protocol linkage2: Form & Perception of playing

In the discourse of Instrument making, the visual and physical interface often is the major focus of the interactive experience. Sometimes, to create the most interesting instrument may include the violation of some traditional interfaces. However, the technology of the knob includes partly the potentiometer. This limitation of the the technology may affect the form imagination process.

Playing with these control include a strong tie with the psychological perception. Besides the relation of muscle memories, physical form of the control actually changed our attitude of approaching the instrument. One of my previous approach of creating sound objects was to reinvent alternatives to typical approach of an instrument. For example of the Found and Sound project The idea led to reinventing and reimagining forms of instruments.These alternative forms usually create new experience and interaction during playing. Most of the time, these methods of playing are limited by the form suggested by the instrument’s physical interfaces. With this protocol, the simple design of knob may also create huge perceptual differences in playing.

協定鏈接2：形和玩的感覺

在儀器製造的討論中，視覺和物理界面通常是交互式體驗的主要焦點。有時，創建最有趣的工具可能包括違反某些傳統接口。但是，旋鈕的技術部分包括電位計。技術的這種局限性可能會影響表格的想像過程。

玩這些控制包括與心理感知的緊密聯繫。除了肌肉記憶的關係外，控件的物理形式實際上還改變了我們接近樂器的態度。我以前創建聲音對象的方法之一是重新發明典型樂器的替代方法。例如Found and Sound項目的發現導致了對樂器形式的重新發明和重新構想。這些替代形式通常會在演奏過程中創造新的體驗和互動。大多數情況下，這些演奏方法會受到樂器的物理界面所建議的形式的限制。使用此協議，旋鈕的簡單設計也可能在演奏中產生巨大的感知差異。
