Product Description

* Sympathetic Synthesizer

This is a way to make emotional music without having to learn music theory by converting your face into a MIDI controller, analyzing your mood and using that as the basis for generating appropriate chords. For example, smiling and happiness creates a major chord, whilst sadness and frowning result in minor chords. There are over 100 emotions mapped, from surprise and shock to anguish and fear, each with their own chord and musical mode.

Make music depending on how you feel.


How It’s Innovative

It uses your mood to alter the music.
If you are happy, the major chord played reflects that feeling.
If you frown you will make music that contains melancholy and malaise.
You can add emotion to your music using just your facial expressions.
