Motorised Rotary Encoder with Physical Input

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi everyone,

Fair warning, I’m pretty new to all this stuff.

I’m currently a design student, and I’m working on a modern speaker design inspired by vintage analog speakers. The goal is to encourage more physical interaction with speakers, as today’s smart speakers have become mundane appliances rather than products that are cherished and loved.

A key feature I wish to incorporate into my concept is a large dial that rotates with the music when it’s playing. It should also respond to physical input, such as pausing the music by holding it still and fast-forwarding or rewinding by moving it backward or forward.

First of all, is this even possible? And if so, what parts would I need?

Any links to sites or videos explaining this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any helpful information!

Please elaborate! Where does the music come from?

The encoder would be read by an MCU, which would control the motor and music player, so the product would contain, but not be a speaker.

For now i'm just using a standard Amp that I got from amazon, when it comes to my final design I'll be using a pre amp and amp with some sort of computer integrated
