AudioCubes are wireless smart blocks for sound design, composition, live performance, music education and music app development.
They can sense your fingers and hands as well as each other's location and orientation. They have built in RGB lighting for visual feedback.
They communicate with your computer over high speed USB, and have custom high speed infrared sensors. A built in rechargeable battery keeps the cubes running wirelessly for up to 4 hours.
Mark Mosher wrote an interesting mini tutorial about using one AudioCube together with a Waldorf Blofeld, Akai LPK25 and Ableton Live To configure the AudioCube, Mark used MIDIBridge, and assigned the sensor role to this AudioCube. He assigned CCs 10-13 to face 1-4 of the AudioCube, and then assigned these 4 CCs in Blofeld to [...]

Mark Mosher sent us some interesting material from an experiment he has been working on using the AudioCubes together with Saurus: the new Virtual Analog synthesizer of Tone2. The Saurus Virtual Analog synthesizer has 4 hard-coded CC sources in its Mod Matrix. That makes it super easy to directly map the 4 sensors of an AudioCube to [...]
We found an interesting video on Youtube last week from Danimal´s Farm. In the video the AudioCubes are used together with Ultranova, a synthesizer from Novation. In the video arpeggiator modulation is done by the AudioCubes. The computer is only being used for transmitting MIDI from the AudioCubes to Ultranova. All sounds are from the UltraNova. [...]
