Haken Audio EaganMatrix Micro

Details follow:

"The power of EaganMatrix Sound Technology in our smallest product ever! The EaganMatrix Micro is a full-featured EaganMatrix sound engine in a small self-contained form factor, and is be powered and controlled via USB.

The EaganMatrix Micro (system identifier u2x) provides a truly versatile framework for both studio and live performance, with a robust implementation of MPE and MPE+ Midi.

The EaganMatrix Micro is a perfect companion to the amazing Warbl Wind Controller. The fingering holes on the Warbl are not just switches. You can hear that the pitch starts off a bit as the finger gets close to the hole (like it would on an acoustic wind instrument) and hits the final pitch once the hole is covered. It’s a subtle effect but important. The following video shows 15 Presets from the Micro’s demo assortment that Edmund Eagan skillfully customized to take advantage of the Warbl’s specific sensing technology. In the future there may be demo assortments customized for the sensing technologies of other devices.

Some info on the WARBL2:

WARBL2 Introduction

video upload by WARBL

"I'm pleased to announce the WARBL2, which contains a host of additions and improvements from the original WARBL. Find more details at https://warbl.xyz/

The following iOS MIDI apps were used for the sounds in this video: Celtic Sounds MIDI Module, SoundFonts, and SWAM violin."

"New! I am happy to announce the WARBL2, which is available as of May 2024 and has many new features and improvements while maintaining the original form factor (it is just 5 mm longer). Improvements include: BLE (wireless) MIDI, an inertial measurement unit (IMU: accelerometer and gyroscope), USB-C, an integrated bell sensor, an RGB LED, a faster ARM® Cortex® processor with much greater storage space, a secondary processor dedicated to reading the optical sensors, higher-resolution pressure-sensor readings, lower power consumption, drag-and-drop firmware upgrades, slightly larger toneholes, and the ability to customize fingering charts completely. There is a NiMH battery that supplies at least 10 hours playing time per charge. Complete documentation is available in the WARBL2 User Manual. The WARBL2 is still completely open source. I will also continue to fully support the original WARBL.

What makes WARBL unique?
WARBL is a USB MIDI and BLE MIDI wind controller that allows the traditional musician to practice with headphones or mimic the sound of any instrument using familiar playing techniques. Designed to simulate a variety of open-tonehole wind instruments such as tin whistles, flutes, and bagpipes, WARBL has optical sensors and real toneholes for continuous finger sensing and realistic feel. An air-pressure sensor allows playing with breath or a bagpipe bag."
