Description

Edit description

The SCÍON is a biofeedback sensor built into a quad random voltage generator. This design is based on the MidiSprout by Datagarden (https://www.midisprout.com/)

It translates biofeedback data, sourced from contact with organic surfaces, into musically useful control signals. Tiny fluctuations in surface conductance on organic materials stimulate control voltage and gate signal changes that can be used to modulate and permutate your patch. Dynamic control over biofeedback sensitivity allows you to quickly adapt any input source to a useful range of responsiveness.

Apply the sensor pads to your house plants, your own skin. When no sensor cables are used simply touching the capacitive Leaf electrode with your finger will create random voltages derived from life itself.

SCÍON offers the ability to make music with all living things.

SCÍON |ˈsʌɪən | noun (biology) young shoot or stem useful for sprouting or forming new roots, a descendant of a noble family

Use cases and applications

0 0

Connecting a loose cable to the sensor, pinching it gives dynamic control over the channels, offering a tactile interaction method.
Source
0 0

Patch noise or audio to the sensor input to create a self-generating feedback loop within the patch.
Source
0 0

Connecting audio to the sensor can create controlled chaos, especially using high LFO pulse speed for note generation.
