Unveiling the
Experience
In a world where digital technologies often fall short of seamlessly integrating with artistic expression, Constellation emerges as the solution to this long-standing challenge. By harnessing the performer's motion and translating it into a symphony of sounds and control messages, Constellation bridges the gap between artist and technology, paving the way for an entirely new musical journey.
About
Constellation
At the heart of Constellation’s transformative capabilities lies its constellation of features, comprising the Ground Central and one or more Satellites. Seamlessly connecting to the Ground Central, each Satellite is able to capture the minutest nuances of motion from various parts of the body, such as arms, ankles, hips, and head, enabling precise emotion capture like never before.
By harnessing the performer’s motion and translating it into a symphony of sounds and control messages, Constellation bridges the gap between artist and technology, paving the way for an entirely new musical journey.
Are you ready to revolutionize the way you create and experience music?
We're thrilled to introduce Constellation, a game-changing innovation designed to empower musicians like you. It's not just a device; it's a gateway to a new era of music creation.
Ground Central
This is the main hub of the Constellation ecosystem. In a nutshell, here’s where the Satellites are connected to and where all processing happens. It incorporates a 2.8-in full colour TFT display which hosts a feature-rich UI that allows for quick and simple configuration. The Ground Central includes two sturdy footswitches which allow it to be placed on a pedalboard and controlled by simply stomping on it.
The back panel is actually an interchangeable expansion card which can be upgraded at any point without having to buy a full new unit. Expansion cards with different input & output capabilities are currently under development and will be released soon. The Ground Central will initially ship with the Audio Card, which includes the following input & output configuration:
- USB-C connector for power, remote control and firmware upgrades.
- Combo XLR / TRS input with -12 to +40 dB of digitally-adjustable gain. The XLR connector can supply +48V phantom power for condenser and ribbon microphones.
- Stereo ⅛” / 3.5mm headphones output.
- +9-12V power input (2.1mm centre-negative barrel connector).
- Left / right TRS balanced outputs.
- MIDI DIN-5 output.

Satellites
These wearables include IMU sensors (3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer), a MEMS microphone, an RGB LED and a linear motor for haptic feedback in order to provide the user with a “feeling” based on their actions.
The Satellites are connected to the Ground Central via a custom radio-frequency link (no Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi® involved), which guarantees absolutely no latency at all.
Power is provided via a Li-ion battery which can be recharged through a USB-C port.
The hardware processes audio from instruments and vocals via a dedicated microphone input. On-board FXs are motion-controlled, providing an immersive and interactive experience for both artist and audience.
Our ultimate goal is to enhance the performer’s emotions and expressions by harnessing augmented reality technologies, while ensuring they are accessible and user-friendly for everyone.
MIDI messages can control external equipment such as synthesisers, DAWs, outboard equipment, etc.
Eventually, with the release of different expansion card flavours, Constellation will also allow controlling video and 3D mapping software, lighting equipment, etc. – And if you dare, you could even control a robotic arm!
Percussive sounds such as drums or claps can be generated right out of the box from the Ground Central – No other external equipment is required.

About us
Six years ago, a group of engineers—many of us musicians—got tired of watching performers sacrifice their connection with the audience just to manage their technology.
We founded MJP Audio Designs to change that.
Our team brings together electronic engineers, audio and DSP specialists, industrial designers, hardware engineers, and software developers. More importantly, we understand what it means to be on stage—the split-second decisions, the need for tools that respond without thinking, the importance of staying present.
That understanding shaped Constellation: a motion-controlled audio platform built to feel immediate and natural. It works independently of computers or smartphones, with no boot-up delays or software interruptions. Just direct, physical control that responds the way you'd expect.
Six years of development and testing with performing artists have refined every detail. Their feedback—honest and unfiltered—helped us create an instrument that gets out of the way, letting performers focus on their craft.
We design tools that disappear into the performance. Technology that serves the music, not the other way around.
