"CROW Intelligence by birdkids is a Generative Hardware Interface for modular setups with an integrated, cross platform, node based, patch editor.

Perform.
CROW Intelligence is a hands-on, assignable, high-precision Generative Interface for modular setups (52hp) and external MIDI devices.
Sixteen endless rotary encoders with multicolor LEDs and four contextual toggle buttons allow for tactile feedback. A bright, no-nonsense LCD Display provides visual feedback for the hardware-controlled, software-assigned control parameters and their corresponding values.
At the core of the hardware is a powerful, ARM-architecture processor running a standalone real time operating system. 16-bit precision ADC/DAC networks provide plenty of scaleable CV and binary I/O for any modular setup.
The CROW Intelligence is a teamplayer: external class-compliant MIDI and MPE devices can be hosted directly and used as multi-timbral, expressive inputs.
All controls are at your fingertips. Intuitive and tactile. Let CROW Intelligence adapt to your workflow and your idea! Focus on the performance.

Control.
CROW Intelligence comes with a built-in server running a node based patch editor (titled “birdnest”). The patch editor can be accessed directly from a browser of your choice on a device of your choice (PC/MAC, iOS, Android etc..).
A patch can be parametrically built from scratch and instantly saved to internal memory for later recall. Of course any patch can be recalled standalone on the device directly. Create at your convenience, control smoothly and surely.
On a blank patch canvas simply start by drag-and-dropping from a multitude of generative sources (called “Functions”), apply any mathematical and logical operations (called “Operators”) then route to a node or output of your choice.
Of course any number of parameters and variables can be assigned to an encoder and/or toggle button on the tactile Interface and labeled accordingly for clear identification on the LCD Display.
Start simple, get as complex as you like. Save and recall any patch instantaneously. Let CROW Intelligence do the math.

Feel.
The principal motivation at birdkids is to enable the Artist and the Arts.
Ultimately we see us as enabling those who have the spark, those who go the extra mile for something remarkable - aspiring to witness a miracle, those who dare to dream and in turn inspire us to dream. It’s about simplifying the process of capturing THE MOMENT. Achieving full potential is not a magic formula, it requires the right environment, the right mindset and the right tools - and our role is to provide those tools.
With that in mind our goal was to develop the centerpiece, the brain of your performance setup. And in turn to declutter the working environment.
CROW Intelligence will provide all the generative modulation and parametric control needed for virtually any setup. Just B.Y.O sound-sources, we’ve got the rest covered!"
