Create your own interactive installation art, responsive environment or alternate musical controller !
The I-CubeX environment enables you to do just that. It is designed to enable you to use sensors for
controlling multimedia content. With the I-CubeX, translate sensor signals with high resolution into
MIDI messages. Then, send these MIDI messages to a variety of MIDI devices (eg. MIDI-aware software programs, sound modules) that control sound synthesis, graphical animation, video
effects, etc.. Voilà ! See this video to get started with the I-CubeX StarterPack.
Application examples
- With the ReachClose
sensor, create a Theremin-alike MIDI controller that
turns your mere handwaving into soundeffects. See this Theremin emulator video !
- Also with the ReachClose,
make your interactive art installation aware of visitors when they approach.
Add a Touch sensor to
allow visitors to change ambient sounds and visuals or as a lighting controller.
- With the Touch sensor, extend your guitar to tweak your
strumming with a subtle caress. See this Hyper Guitar video !
- With the TiltOn,
Touch and ReachClose, prototype a physical control
surface for your favourite MIDI software.
- Get hands-on and interface your own sensor using a HackCable.
What you get
The I-CubeX StarterPack includes a microDig
analog to MIDI converter, a microGlobalAdapter for use
world-wide, a ReachClose sensor,
a Touch sensor,
a TiltOn sensor and
a HackCable-1. A variety of software is available from our website to apply the microSystem in your project - please check the microDig page, and browse our resource page for more solutions. Firmware upgrades will be made available at no cost. Here's how to get started.
Please note
Please note that to configure the microDig with the editor, you will need a MIDI interface such as the MIDISport 1x1 or MidAir, which allows you to transmit MIDI wirelessly. To use it with a 9V battery instead of the microGlobalAdapter, get the 9VCable.
For more inputs and resolution, as well as the ability to control actuators, check out the System. For a thumb-sized, faster and USB-cabled version (no MIDI interface needed), check out the USB-microSystem.
For a thumb-sized, faster and wireless version, check out the Wi-microSystem.
