"Pocopoco is a new musical interface that users can control by pushing, holding and turning - very intuitive and tactile actions. To create Pocopoco we developed original solenoid units with built-in sensors and assembled 16 of them in a box-shaped container to serve as a universal input/output device.
Through the use of their up and down movement we have created a new form of musical expression. The resulting device is a versatile interface whose physical movement is appealing to both performers and audiences.

Through the use of their up and down movement we have created a new form of musical expression. The resulting device is a versatile interface whose physical movement is appealing to both performers and audiences and which also has the potential to be used in a wide range of other applications including games and telecommunications.

Users can play music with PocoPoco very easily just by "pushing", "holding " and "turning" its cylinders . When a user "Pushes" on top of a cylinder, a sequencer switch is flipped to the "on" position causing the cylinder to rise and a sound to play at regular intervals. "Holding" a raised cylinder prolongs the note being played like the sustain pedal of a piano. "Turning" a cylinder affects the instrument's tone in various ways (e.g. volume control, filters, pitch bend) .

PocoPoco is very easy to play even for children and beginners with no musical experience, but at the same time it is also a sophisticated device that can be used to create compelling performances."
