Plan of dissemination
Buildin an amp with a soundpad is something I wanted to do for myself. I play guitar and use programs for recording music and sometimes set up a rythm in my Macbook to follow with the guitar. So my idea was to make a simple sound pad controlled by an app in my phone so I could create a loop of drumbeats f.ex. and play it through the amp without opening my computer and connecting to monitors and so on.
I haven't really thought much about dissemination. I'm sure many musicians wpuld enjoy the Dramp. There are amps available with pre-recorded drum rythms but I haven't seen one with a soundpad where you can create your own beat or even sequence of chords. So the market is there for a practis amp like this.
I plan to share the design and build with anyone that would be intersted in building one for him/herself. I doubt that a manufacturer would want to buy the design and start production but who knows, food for thought.... I might want to build more in the future and sell, that is if it works out great. I definitely want to keep on improving this project after I finish the Fab Academy
I would want to register my Dramp under TheAttribution-Noncomercial-Sharealike CC BY-NC-SA.
