Pocket Scion is a sinet you play with plants

A few years ago, artist Contemporary biology became a viral sensation when he released videos about himself controlling a modular synth with mushrooms Tiktok. Pocket Schma It gives anyone similar options, but without having to spend thousands of dollars on EuroRack – and at a much portable package.

The basic part of the modern biological adjustment is the module called Whirl From Glasgova on base Manual. Scion becomes biofeedback, whether it is from a bioplant or own skin, in CV (control voltage) to control other synth modules in a larger setting. Touch the two sensors in the hand or groise completes the circuit, and then the electrical fluctuations in this circuit can be used to activate different notes or change the interruption on the filter, for example.

Just over a year ago, he approached the hunt for building something new. The fruit of this cooperation is a pocket scion, an accessible independent instrument that can turn small electrical changes from living organisms in MIDI data and create sound perifets using one of the four built-in sound motors.

Pocket Scion also has numerous advanced opportunities, including go to control external instruments. There is also an accompanying application for Windows, MacOS and Linux that exposes the sound design tools to create your own synth patches (OSC), which gives control of the audio and video programs such as MAX / SMEs, clean data and unreal engine. It is more powerful than you would expect to give the price of $ 149.

The initial launch of pocket machines is immediately sold out. But you can ask pre-order for when the next series “early next week”, according to voltage to control retail.
