Sensor Fingerboard
A patented multi-layer sensor fingerboard tracks the positions of the fingers on each string independently, allowing a very precise, polyphonic MIDI translation. It opens completely new possibilities of interaction with any software instrument or digital effects.
3D Motion Tracking
With the three-axis gyroscope and accelerometer you can use your body expression to control any virtual sound or effect by simply moving yourself with the violin in any direction. The 3D motion data can be used for controlling MIDI/OSC in any music software in the most intuitive way.
Integrated HQ Microphone

An advanced digital MEMS microphone placed very close to the bridge allows streaming a very focused, high quality audio signal wirelessly to any Windows/Mac computer. You can access your sound directly through the Digitaize Receive audio plugin (VST3 & AU) in any DAW. Envelope/amplitude data from the bow is used for detecting notes velocities as well as a constant midi aftertouch parameters.
