Patchwerk will turn a motorized knob on the cabinet.

Patchwerk lets you control a massive analog synthesizer from your browser, and streams the results back to you and everyone connected. The interface on this site is linked to a physical synth cabinet connected to the world's largest homemade modular synth, currently housed at the MIT Museum. Turn a knob here, andIf someone at the Museum grabs a knob, you'll see it turn too.When you first connect, you'll be inmode, which means that you can hear the synth and see what the controllers are doing, but won't be able to activate the knobs or buttons yourself. To switch tomode, enter your name in the box at right. There can be up to 10 people acting as controllers at one time. If there are already 10 signed on, you'll be added to a queue.
