Dadamachines is a Berlin-based studio founded by Johannes Elias Lohbihler, working at the intersection of physical objects and electronic music through MIDI-controlled hardware and open-source tools. The company built its reputation on the Automat Toolkit, a plug-and-play kit that uses solenoids driven by twelve DC outputs to turn everyday objects, acoustic percussion, and household items into MIDI-triggered instruments. The toolkit's combination of accessibility, hackability, and Arduino-compatible firmware made it a fixture in the DIY electronic music and maker scenes after a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Beyond the Automat line, dadamachines develops the Doppler, a compact embedded audio platform aimed at developers and instrument builders, and the Composer Pro, a standalone performance sequencer designed to act as the central brain of a live electronic setup with multiple machine slots and pattern storage. The studio's products are frequently demoed at events like Superbooth and have been covered by outlets including DJ Mag, with much of the firmware and reference designs published openly on GitHub.

The brand sits in a niche occupied by builders of unconventional, robotic, and physical-computing music instruments, appealing to experimental electronic musicians, sound designers, and installation artists looking to bridge software sequencing with mechanical sound sources.

DaDaMachines has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including MIDI Interfaces and Audio Sequencers.
