Make your movements audible and become music yourself with the SOMI-1 motion sensor wearables for sound control.
SOMI-1 is a MIDI controller that provides performers, musicians and dancers the opportunity of making music via movements. It consists of Bluetooth® motion sensors and a receiver hub.
SOMI-1 comes with user-firendly ready-made soundscapes making it usable for everyone.
The SOMI-1 motion sensors measure movements, tilt angles and accelerations in different directions with market-leading latency and transform them into sound parameters (MIDI parameters) in real-time.
MIDI® Innovation Award:
Best Commercial Hardware Product 2022
The motion data of the SOMI-1 sensors is received wirelessly via a custom Bluetooth® 5 based protocol by the SOMI-1 hub, that connects to your music software, hardware or mobile app via USB-C or TRS-MIDI.
– MIDI Interface (USB-MIDI, TRS-MIDI, MIDI Host)
– Connectivity to music software & hardware
– Button to pause sensors and MIDI learn
– Encoder to adjust sensitivity
Instruments of Things® offers several ready-to-use preset projects for Ableton Live. These presets are ideal for anyone who wants to use SOMI-1 right away. No settings need to be made. Press play and start making music via movements.
