Beat finder

An accessory for a turntable to control speed control and to facilitate beat matching, to synchronize the transition of recorded music sources from one turntable to another turntable of a plurality of turntables, comprising:

• said recorded music sources containing basic beat rhythm patterns unique to each of said recorded music sources
• a means to predict when the synchronization of said basic beat rhythm patterns will occur, said means creating a digital readout when said digital readout displays an index number representative of the position of a speed control member;
• a speed control means for matching said basic beat rhythm patterns of successive recorded musical selections from one said turntable to another said turntable of said plurality of turntables;
• a beat finder responsive to accurately and repeatedly setting at least one speed on said speed control on at lest one said turntable of said plurality of turntables, said beat finder capable of facilitating a gradual synchronization of two recorded musical selections with different beat rhythm patterns
• wherein said beat finder is removably attached to at least one of said turntables of said plurality of turntables by a clamp member with a telescoping section, which said clamp is adjustable to a predetermined depth of said turntable and which said clamp fits to said turntable, said beat finder further including:
• a base plate,
• a movable control section movably ridable on said base plate, and
• a digital display counter,
• said base plate including a further rigid base plate, a plurality of raised rails positioned along each side of said base plate,
• a gear rack mounted between said raised rails, said movable control section enclosed by a housing,
• said movable control section engageable with said speed control through an adjustable extended coupling member which said coupling member is disposed over said speed control means,
• said movable control section movable on said side rails on said base plate, said movable control section varying a speed of one of said turntables,
• said gear rack on said base plate engageable by at least one gear attachable to said movable control section, and
• said at least one gear being coupled to a gear train with a speed-increase ratio, said gear train driving said digital display counter.
