Enhancia Neova and SE-02 test


video by Robert Saint John

"Brief first go with the Neova ring MIDI controller from Enhancia Music, paired with the Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02 analogue monosynth and the K-25m controller (backed by the JUPITER-Xm for extra mood). The ring makes up for the K-25’s lack of mod and pitch, and I even use it to trigger some crossmod at the end."

ENHANCIA launches Neova, the MIDI Ring Controller


Discover Neova - Your Instrument is ALIVE - Enhancia



You might remember Neova from previous posts here.

"Neova MIDI Ring Controller provides musicians with a new form of musical expression by allowing them to control MIDI-compatible devices using natural hand gestures mid-air. Neova is composed of a ring and a hub. The ring recognizes your motion and sends all the information to the hub through a proprietary wireless protocol optimized for low latency. The hub embeds a charging system that allows it to refill the battery of the ring. The hub can be connected to any of your favorite synthesizers or a computer using standard MIDI or USB.

A perfect way to express yourself

After a simple setup process, musicians are ready to start playing or controlling their instrument in a manner which perfectly complements their existing technique. Intuitive hand movements connect a musician to the ring’s software-based gesture library, including Vibrato, Pitch Bend, Tilt, and Roll—each generating expression information which is sent to the connected MIDI device. The ring’s proprietary and patented ultra-low-latency wireless technology, eight times more reactive than Bluetooth, provides the sensation of a perfect connection between musician and sound source.

You can preview each gesture on this video: https://youtu.be/kgpN8uCEUR4

Neova is natively recognized as a MIDI controller by your computer and interfaces with any DAWs. It can also be used as a standard controller on any synthesizers (analog & digital) compatible with MIDI protocol over MIDI Din connector.

The Neova Dashboard is the ultimate software designed to meet your every musician requirement. Its intuitive and simple interface will let you endlessly tailor your own presets to your slightest preference. Infinitely configurable and upgradable, the Dashboard is your companion for an immersive and breathtaking emotional experience.

Zero exception, zero compromise, zero concession. Defying the norms, the Neova Hub guarantees a seamless fit with your hardware and software synthesizers.

Your user experience has never been so simple and intuitive."

ENHANCIA Launches MIDI Ring Controller Neova on Kickstarter




You might remember Enhancia's ring controller from this post back in January.

They are now on Kickstarter.

"Grenoble, France. April 17, 2018: ENHANCIA is pleased to announce that MIDI ring Neova will be available for pre-sale on Kickstarter on April 17, 2018 at 17:00 UTC+2. The campaign will continue until May 17, 2018 and ENHANCIA set out the goal of $50,000 to finish the product development and manufacturing.

Neova is a MIDI ring controller that lets musicians control any musical effect with natural hand gestures. The ring comes with a hub that connects via USB to the computer or via MIDI with instruments that supports it. Neova synchronizes to any DAW and compatible with any software synthesizers and MIDI controllers.

“As a musician, I believe that emotion is the purpose of each melody. In musical performance, subtlety is a key. Every intention, every micro-gesture should be captured to reflect the intensity of your feeling as truthfully as possible. We imagined Neova with the simple idea of creating the shortest path between your musical intention and music creation” - says Enhancia’s co-founder and CEO Damien Le Boulaire.

Neova is designed with 9 motion sensors which have highly accurate gesture recognition algorithms. They enable to control musical effects naturally and only when intended to. The gesture library consists of following intuitive movements:

● Vibrato, Bend and Tilt specifically designed to enhance the play on the instrument.
● Wave and Roll let musicians control the music in the air.

To give musicians instant responsivity, ENHANCIA created its own wireless proprietary protocol which is optimized for ultra low latency. The technology is 8 times more reactive than Bluetooth with unparalleled 2ms of latency. The overall system is a patented technology."

Enhancia: The Connected Ring for Musicians


Published on Jan 11, 2018 Enhancia

If your keyboard lacks aftertouch, or if you ever wanted an additional expression control without having to interrupt your playing, this just might be for you. Don't miss Stevie Wonder with one below!

"Enhancia has developed a connected ring which allows you to control sound effects through simple hand gestures. It is here to complete your experience and express your creativity with your own favorite digital keyboard.

We will be exhibiting at the NAMM show from January 25th to 28th. We will also be at the NAMM preview day on January 24th. Our booth number is 12127 - stop by and see our product!"


“How a connected ring enhances musical expression and creativity”

The project was born in France three years ago from a freshly graduated young team of passionate musicians. At the beginning, a musical glove was developed in collaboration with a Music Conservatory in France with a purpose of helping disabled children interact with music. With this glove, one was able to explore a new dimension of control, for instance, playing drums by banging in the air. It was the beginning of our development, then we asked ourselves: how can we make this technology available for musicians and add value in the process of making music? So, we started to work with the idea that we could provide a device that would help musicians exceed the technical limits of their instruments: offering them the opportunity to push their creativity beyond limits.

The connected ring is capable of controlling musical effects through predefined movements of the hand. Thus, while using a keyboard, the musician can freely add different variations to the notes played by a simple movement of the hand. For instance, keyboardist can add a vibrato by wavering the hand. Finally, musicians will enjoy more freedom and more possibilities in their composition.

Thanks to nine integrated sensors and real-time gesture recognition algorithm, a motion library especially design to complete keyboards was developed. We work closely with our community of diverse musicians which helps us to understand their need and design a product adaptable to all playing styles.  

The ring comes with a hub which could be connected to a computer or directly to a keyboard. The signal recorded by the sensors is sent to the hub through a proprietary wireless protocol optimized for low latency. The overall system is a patented technology.

The first generation of the ring will be launched through a Kickstarter campaign in March 2018. The pricing of the ring is not defined yet. The goal is to deliver the product by the end of 2018. The product will be officially introduced during the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) which will take place in Las Vegas in January 2018. We are honored to have received a CES innovation award in the “Wearable Technologies” category. The company will also exhibit at the National Association of Music Merchants Show (NAMM) by the end of January in Anaheim."
