Just let your body flow along with your emotion, it allows you to alter the sound in sync with physical movement of your body. Now, musical performance is more instinctive, expressive and creative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you will get a core device of MOTION SONIC, a band for back hand, a band for wrist and USB charging cable. To start with it, download the MOTION SONIC iOS app.

 

You can create your own Motion-Effect. Download MOTION SONIC iOS App and create your expression by selecting specific Motion and linking it to the specific effect you want to sync. It provide a variety of Motions and Effects below. 

※MOTION SONIC app is for iOS( iOS13 or later, iPadOS13 or later required. iPhone 8 or later, iPad 5th generation or later, iPad mini 5th generation or later, iPad Air 3rd generation or later, required) for this campaign. Can not use it on Android and other device.

I aim to create future that you can express sounds through your own body. To make it realized we designed the interactions that completely synchronize sound with your body. It allows you not to be conscious of the presence of the interface to control sound. Now, you can just let your body flow along with your emotion to express sounds.
I believe we can create new entertainment never seen before with MOTION SONIC and I’m so excited to create a new culture with you!

 

I was excited when I tried it because it captured even slight movements of my body and I could express the comfortable pitch waving by using it. It is not same with the other modulation effects for making Lo-fi sound because it is not the cyclic pitch waving but the pitch waving in sync with natural movements such as hitting keys or picking for playing guitar.

 

It extends my range of emotional expression because it reflects my body movements directly in sounds. Tools for controlling sound such as pitch bend and modulation wheel usually limit my expression by taking my hand away from a keyboard. On the other hand, it enriches my expression by applying complex effects in real time that I would have to be edited and inserted later, for example, I can control several sound effects at the same time without taking my hand away from a keyboard. In addition, from the point that It is easy to setup, it is suited for a live use.
