New Generation of MIDI Controllers: OTO




Reminds me of Percussa's Audio Cubes. You can find the campaign for the OTO on kickstarter here.

Details:

"Touch the shape of sound (Berlin, November 5th 2016) -

Sonic Geometry is proud to introduce its first product, OTO: a geometrically intuitive audiovisual controller, available now on Kickstarter. OTO is a polyhedric, gesture based MIDI controller that lets users 'touch the shape of sound'. Each OTO controller houses an IMU that communicates with a host computer via Bluetooth. The host computer translates the raw physical data into the musicalized output that users experience. MIDI notes, CC data, frequency bands and filter-sweeps: with a system of OTO controllers, anything is possible. With OTO users can play synths, DJ, perform live electronic music, and even control their favorite Digital Audio Workstations such as Ableton and Traktor. Each set of OTO controllers will ship with a suite of both standalone and DAW-control software, so whether you’re an experienced artist or just an enthusiast, a live musician, a producer, or a DJ, you can use OTO exactly how you want.With OTO, or a system of networked OTO controllers, users can send Midi and OSC, trigger and modulate audiovisual data, control virtual reality, CAD environments... The possibilities are endless. The current suite of software patches is only the beginning. We want to build vast, interactive, generative musical topographies, powered by devices that are both invitingly simple, and surprisingly powerful.

OTO was born as a Masters’ Thesis Project at Berklee College of Music in 2015, and has been evolving continuously. At last, after extensive prototyping, we are proud to announce that OTO is ready for launch. OTO has been featured at Maker Faire Rome 2016 and Sonar + D Festival 2016.Cost has been a major factor in OTO’s creation, as throughout the creative process we have sought to make instruments that are widely accessible, while maintaining quality. After months of analysis and research, Sonic Geometry is thrilled to be able to offer OTO at an affordable price point, without compromising the scope of its function. OTO’s Kickstarter campaigned launched yesterday and was almost instantly selected by the crowdfunding website as 'Project we love' and featured on the homepage. In less than 24 hours OTO was able to raise 10% of its goal."
