Now, how the Beat Box instrument works? The instrument allows the user to generate any kind of music and also lets them to manage it with the help of RFID tags by placing them into the wooden bowls. There are four bowls crafted on the table-top that is uniquely labeled with different color. Each bowl is provided with RFID tag disks that are made up of Vinyl record with color coding that indicates different types of instruments and various musical styles. The user only has to place the disks into the bowls of their choice. Hereafter, each of the bowls uses a RFID reader that’s connected to Arduino. This will further help to turn the RFID tags into music electronically.

The Beat Box plays different recording loops. So, just drop the tag disks on the bowl to trigger a drum, synth, guitar or bass loop and hear the different musical outcomes. The Box also holds the LED lights to each of its bowls which helps in identifying the loop that your music syncs with melodiously.
