The Rotators

The Rotators are designed to be the unit of instruments in a rhythm section for automatic playing. The core section to control the unit is named Rotatorhead.
 
The structure of Rotatorhead is same with that of disk type music box. Set the disc onto the turntable. The disk is made from vinyl disc and shortend color pencils embedded on the disc's surface. The uniform rhythm starts, when the pencil hits the switches attached over the bridge part to turn on/off home electrics plugged into connectors.

The bridge part contains 3 tracks. the each switch of each track links to an electric connector, and that's mean, a rhythm consists of 3 different sounds made up from 3 home electrics connected to the plugs.
