German music-tech company Intruments of Things have launched their new Kickstarter for the SOMI-1 wearable motion sensors.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Turn your movements and dance moves into sound with this Kickstarter. The SOMI-1 provides performers, musicians and creators a way to make music via movements. The project aimed at casual consumers, comes from Instruments of Things, based on their successful 2.4SINK sensor for professional musicians, launched on Kickstarter in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOMI-1 is comprised on three parts: the motion sensors, the hub and the app. The sensors talk to the receiver hub via Bluetooth 5, while the hub hooks up to a smartphone, MIDI instrument or music software, using a USB or TRS-MIDI cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion sensor can be worn on the wrist or ankle by clipping to the included bracelet, or to clothes or objects using optional clips. Each sensor measures 8 different movement parameters, such as acceleration and tilt in all directions. These movements are transformed into sound in real-time by the hub. You can hook up to six sensors to a single receiver hub. The hub processes the sensor data with under 10ms latency, at up to 50 metres of range. The sensor battery is rated at around 20 hours while active and is powered by coin cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
