Control sound and visual effects live with I-CubeX sensors ! They can capture a variety of events and signals - see the list below for a relevant selection.

Examples

How does it work ?

Sensors are connected to a computer, using one of the following thumb-sized interfaces:

With I-CubeX software you can now configure the sensor interface to process the sensor signals and events, and map them to a variety of MIDI messages as control information for your musical and/or visual effects equipment. There is a wealth of software and devices that you can use in conjunction with I-CubeX to map the data to audiovisual effects.
