MUGIC® is a device that enables you to use your movements to control virtually anything in software. You can create sounds, control effects, change lighting parameters, generate visuals, and more. MUGIC® enables you to expand your control over your system and translate your movements into meaningful data.
MUGIC® was originally built with the intention of capturing nuanced physical data to control parameters in music software (like Max and Ableton Live), but you could also use it to control live video, lighting, Ardino projects, etc. MUGIC® uses OSC data via UDP so theoretically anything that can accept or translate this data could be used.
No! We have built a suite of software and devices that will enable you to use MUGIC® without any coding or computer programming experience. We have primarily used MUGIC® with Max and Ableton Live and have made a number of patches and devices available for free download. (Go to Download page) These patches and devices will allow you to easily map MUGIC® data within Max and Ableton. Some experience with Max will certainly help broaden your capabilities, but our patches can be used (and hacked) to achieve fairly advanced results with relative ease.
At this time, MUGIC® only works on computers, both on Mac and Windows platforms.
Yes, if you have the proper tools. You will still need a computer for MUGIC® to connect to, software to manage your data (e.g. MIDI), and an interface that has MIDI capabilities (most do). You simply need to use the “MUGIC® to MIDI patch” (We will soon put them up on the "Downloads page").
Elevate your performances with unparalleled precision and creativity. Get your MUGIC® today and revolutionize your creative expression!
