Elevator Pitch

Playtonik

Product Description

Playtonik

Playtonik is a new musical fidget toy with spatial audio, fun physical interaction and dynamic haptics.
You can create interesting melodies, rhythmic compositions or just have some fun, either standalone or with external MIDI gear.
It features:
• Five shapes, each with a unique sonic character
• Spatial audio, great with headphones
• Dynamic musical haptics, feel the notes in your hand
• Easy to play keyboard, pick a scale and jam
• Touchable shapes, each with unique physics
• Motion controls, tilt and shake the shapes
• MIDI support to connect up external gear


How It’s Innovative

Playtonik utilises game engine physics and musical scale theory to make a new kind of instrument that is enjoyable to play. It thrives on experimentation and connectivity with other devices over MIDI, (both USB and Bluetooth)

Most Inspiring Use Cases

Playback of MIDI file melodies can create beautiful organic sounding delay effects. Connecting to external synth/drum machines via MIDI can produce incredibly unique melodies and patterns.

Expansion Plans

We will soon introduce local MIDI file playback, looping and recording of sessions with MIDI support. Effects and Physics parameters will also be made tweak-able locally or externally via MIDI. We will also aim to improve upon the Spatial Audio side of things, and bring the instrument to headsets such as Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.

Commercialization

We plan on releasing Playtonik PRO as an In-App purchase, later in the year, with a focus more on the MIDI tinkerers and music production persona. The aim is also to bring Playtonik to other platforms, including Android and Meta Quest headset.
