What you can do with it
- Play real-world objects — solenoid beaters hit cans, boxes, metal, wood, drums, found objects.
- Sequence from any source — any DAW, iOS app, hardware MIDI sequencer or the on-board standalone mode on the MK2 / eurorack.
- Mix and match — combine the controller with motors, LED splitters and the full range of mounts and adapters to build your own mechanical instruments.
- Keep it open — the hardware is documented, adapters come with downloadable SVG files, and the firmware is open.
