  • Canada’s this.is.Noise – the folks behind the Kickstarter-funded Noise Machine from 2020 – has launched an interesting MIDI controller on Indiegogo called the MIDI Blaster.
  • The device is the brainchild of brothers Zacharias and Schuyler Ackert, and employs four infrared sensors to track hand movements in the space above, while RGB LEDs offer real-time visual feedback.
  • The sensors send CC or MPE data to music production software running on a computer or to a synthesizer, allowing the electronic music performer or DJ to control four effects at the same time or individually.
